The EWM Wega 600 is a MIG/MAG welder of transformer design, supplied from a 400 V mains, with copper windings. You set the voltage in steps and the wire feed steplessly, and the interconnection cable is 10 m long. The torch is liquid cooled.
What this machine is for
This is a power source for a fixed station, where thick sections and long runs with solid wire go through. The 10 m interconnection cable moves the wire feeder away from the source, so the source with the gas cylinder stays in place and you work at the structure.
The source record lists two power variants of this machine, 600 A and 400 A. The product record describes this unit as 600 A, so you have a reserve of current for heavy structural joints. The record also states that the machine works and is ready for use, with no earlier work inside it.
Features and equipment
- Transformer design on copper windings. A simple power circuit that copes with the dust and damp of the hall.
- Stepped voltage control. The steps are mechanical, so the setting will not change by accident during the shift.
- Stepless wire feed control. You correct the speed without jumps, also while welding.
- Interconnection cable of 10 m. You move the feeder away from the source and work at the part without shifting the set.
- Liquid cooling at the upper settings.

What to watch out for
A transformer of this power weighs its own, so the machine suits moving around the hall, not carrying between building sites. The 400 V supply needs a three phase socket, and you pick the fuse to match the draw, because at the upper settings it is high. Stepped voltage control gives fixed steps, and the choice of parameters stays with the welder.
With liquid cooling you watch the coolant level and the flow through the hoses, and you run the 10 m bundle without sharp bends. The record does not list a torch, an earth cable or the weight, confirm them before collection.
