Paton PRO-250 MMA/TIG Lift welder – basic welder data

The PATON PRO-250 MMA/TIG Lift welder is designed for manual MMA arc welding, argon shielded TIG direct current arc welding, and semi-automatic MIG/MAG welding in shielded gas and protective mixtures.

This model achieves a duty cycle of 70% at its full nominal current of 250A, which is sufficient for working with any electrodes from Ф1 .6mm up to fusible Ф4mm, as well as semi-automatic welding with solid wire from Ф0 .6mm to Ф1.0mm (MIG/MAG welding is possible after purchasing a wire feeder). The device is set to optimal values for most use cases. Demanding users can select each parameter individually.

The PRO series offers full electronic control, which allows greater control of the welding process for each of the selected methods, as well as enabling the maximum potential of the equipment. The PRO series welding inverters are dedicated to industrial use, as well as for the most demanding home users.

The main advantages of the Paton PRO-250 MMA welder

• European production of welding machines
• Electronic thermal protection system that protects all heat-generating components from overheating
• Possibility to connect an external wire feeder
• Ability to work on long extension cords as well as with a generator
• Pulsed current welding mode available in all methods
• Improved arc glow stability
• Hot-Start (hot start), Arc-Force (arc force) and Anti-Force (anti-scratch) functions
• The devices have voltage spike protection and an operation stabilization system, allowing proper operation for a voltage range of 160V to 260V
• Twice the electricity demand compared to traditional sources
• Optimal fusion and correct stitch shape regardless of welding position

5-year manufacturer’s warranty for consumers as well as companies

The highest quality workmanship confirmed by a 5-year DOOR-to-DOOR manufacturer’s warranty. Models of the VDI PRO series are characterized by a compact design, which uses a number of innovative technological solutions that increase the reliability of the devices. Increased reliability of the inverter in environments with high dust and humidity by moving the electronic system to a separate chamber, moreover, impregnated electronic components with high-class varnish.

The purchased set includes:

• PATON PRO-250 MMA welder
• ABICOR BINZEL DE2200 3m electrode holder
• ABICOR BINZEL MK300 3m ground holder
• Professional carrying case
• Carrying strap
• User Manual

Hot-Start function (hot start) – ensures the highest quality of the beginning of welding, first-class ignition – when the electric arc is ignited, during a short moment of time, the working welding current increases from the set working level to the optimal level. In some cases (when working with a weak network or generator), this level can be set manually if there is a corresponding switch (as in the “Professional” series ). Lowering the “Hot-Start” to reduce energy consumption from a weak grid or increasing it in a strong grid makes ignition much easier.
Arc-Force function – is used to improve the stability of short arc combustion and prevent “sticking” of the electrode. When a drop of metal separates from the electrode, the current is automatically increased to a certain level if there is a corresponding switch (as in the “Professional” series ). By lowering the “Arc Force” to reduce the power consumption from a weak grid or increasing it in a strong grid, the stability of arc burning is even more improved.
Anti-Stick function (anti-stick) – allows the welder to easily separate the electrode from the product. In the event of a short circuit (if it occurs), after a short break, the welding current is reduced automatically. Once the electrode is separated from the workpiece, the source automatically restores its operation.

The main advantages of the PATON inverter welder:

• Wide range of adjustable welding parameters:
  – MMA method – 1 (basic) + 10 (additional)
  – TIG method – 1 (basic) + 4 (additional)
  – MIG/MAG method – 1 (basic) + 5 (additional)
• Pulsed current welding function, which is additionally programmable – in all welding modes.
• Power surge protection system.
• Installed additional system to stabilize operation at larger long-term voltage differences in the single-phase power grid from 160 V to 260 V.
• Adapted to the standard electricity grid. Thanks to its high efficiency, the source provides two times less electricity demand compared to traditional sources.
• Adaptive fan speed, which increases at the beginning of welding, increases even more when the welder is heated and decreases when it is cool, this saves wear on the fan and reduces the amount of dust in the welder.
• Convenience of operation due to good load life at nominal amperage, which allows welding virtually continuously with electrodes at nominal amperage.
• Thermal protection system that protects all heat-generating components of the welding unit from overheating.
• Enhanced durability due to impregnation of the electronic system with two layers of high-quality varnish, which ensures the reliability of the product throughout its lifetime.
• Improved arc glow stability.
• Efficiency by using the latest advanced IGBT technology.
