  • A 5-inch LCD screen allows both experienced and novice users to operate the device quickly and easily, ensuring correct setting and parameter selection, reducing parameter setting time, and increasing actual welding time.
  • Capability of TIG welding on aluminum and steel workpieces up to 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) of thickness with a maximum output of 280 amps.
  • AC Waveforms:
    1. Progressive square wave for increased torch speed, depth of penetration, and rapid cooling of weld pools
    2. Sine wave for simulating a conventional power source and reducing noise level
    3. Triangular wave for reducing the overall heat input and increasing the peak current to control the distortion of thin materials.
  • Up to 10 memory locations to store important weld parameters.
  • Adjustable soft welding start and minimal distortion on thinner materials.
  • Adjustable powerful start which is required for thicker materials.
  • Adjustable balance settings which provide full control to mix the cleaning and penetration sequences, during aluminum welding.
  • High frequency (HF) for perfect arc starts and stability
  • Tested in (104°F/40°C), designed for the toughest conditions.
  • Digital control of all welding parameters.
  • Amperage control is accessible by foot pedal.
  • Pulse TIG welding allows for better arc control and reduces work piece distortion.
  • Ideal for welding thin and thick materials.
  • Excellent welding characteristics in Stick mode with the most rods
  • Ability to use up to 165 feet (50 meters) leads without any power loss at the welding circuit.
  • Digital adjustment of pre-flow, initial amperage, welding amperage, initial slope, pulse parameters, final slope, and post flow on LCD screen.
  • Arc Force automatically selects the best welding arc dynamics (in Stick mode).
  • Ability to pre-set all welding parameters.
  • Fan cooled and thermally protected against overheating.
  • Ability to communicate with Canaweld auxiliary cooling systems
  • Metal face panel.
  • Generator compatible.
  • Comprehensive 4-Year Warranty.
  • Innovative wind tunnel.

  5. The unit only weighs 40 lbs, which even for an inverter is pretty light considering this puppy is good to 280 amps and has a pretty good duty cycle. Arc is very stable, all of the functions work as they should.
