Paton ProMIG-200 (15-2) MIG/MAG welder

Paton ProMIG-200 MIG/MAG welder, basic information

The Paton ProMIG 200 MIG/MAG welder is intended for semi-automatic welding in the MIG/MAG process under shielding gases and gas mixtures, for manual arc welding in the MMA process and for arc welding under argon in the TIG process with direct current.

The design of the ProMIG 200 model (15 kilogram spool, which also takes a 5 kilogram spool, 2-roll feeder) gives some of the best protection against outside conditions on the market. The rated current of this model, 200A at a 70% duty cycle, allows intensive welding of 6 mm material without the risk of overheating the machine. The power source can be separated from the wire feed mechanism, both for convenience and for safety. A mark of the PATON™ series Professional semi-automatic machines is the high quality sealed metal wire feeder, together with the KZ-2 connector of the "EURO" type, which has become a worldwide standard and lets the user change the torch later as they see fit.

In a fully electronic system the control circuit has absolutely all the resources of the power source at its disposal, within its full output and regardless of the process used. Machines of the "Professional" series are meant for industrial use, for the most demanding users.

Functions and properties of the Paton ProMIG-200 MIG/MAG welder

GASLESS WELDING FUNCTION, WELDING WITH SELF-SHIELDED WIRE
All PATON MIG/MAG machines are prepared for welding with self-shielded wire. Unlike the traditional MIG/MAG process, this kind of welding runs without shielding gas, but it does call for special welding wire. Such wire builds its own shield, which helps protect the welding arc.

BRAZE WELDING, INDUCTANCE CONTROL

Paton MIG/MAG machines of the Standard and PRO series can braze weld thanks to inductance adjustment in three steps. Inductance control makes it possible to match the arc characteristic to the thickness of the welded part. This function is needed to change the rate of current flow when the arc voltage changes. The thinner the part to be welded with MIG/MAG, the higher the inductance should be (soft arc, shallower penetration), and the other way round for thick parts (hard arc, deeper penetration).

PULSE FUNCTION IN EVERY PROCESS

PULSE in the TIG process, full control over the heat put into the material, a very useful function for welding stainless and acid-resistant steel,

PULSE in the MMA process, easier transfer of material from the electrode into the weld pool, better quality of the welded joint,

PULSE in the MIG/MAG process, easier detachment of the metal droplet from the end of the electrode wire, with adjustable parameters of the pulsed current. Pulsed MIG welding is useful on stainless and acid-resistant steels and on aluminium alloys. Welding with pulse also gives better results in braze welding with CuSi3

MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE STANDARD AND PRO SERIES:

• duty cycle, machines of the PRO series have a 70% duty cycle, while the Standard series has a 45% cycle at the same welding current. On top of that, PRO series machines reach a continuous duty cycle at a higher welding current than Standard series machines.
• wire feeder, the PRO series has a separate wire feeder that takes spools from 15 to 18 kilos. The feeder can be detached from the power source for easier welding in other processes, for example MMA or TIG DC. The PRO series also comes in versions with 2-roll or 4-roll wire feeders. In Standard series machines the feeder is built into the welder, takes only spools up to 5 kilograms and always has two rolls.

Main advantages of the Paton ProMIG-200 MIG/MAG welder

5 year manufacturer warranty for consumers and for companies

Top build quality backed by a 5 year DOOR-to-DOOR manufacturer warranty. Models of the PRO series have a compact design that uses a set of technological solutions raising the reliability of the machines. The reliability of the inverter in dusty and humid environments has been increased.

The purchased set contains:

• MIG/MAG welder PATON™ ProMIG 200 PRO DC
• Feeder PATON™ BPI 15-2 (15 kilogram spool, which also takes a 5 kilogram spool, 2-roll feeder)
• Electrode holder ABICOR BINZEL DE2200 3m
• Earth clamp ABICOR BINZEL MK300 3m
• Wire feeder rolls 1x (0.6-0.8), 1x (1.0-1.2) V
• Quick coupler for gas
• Cardboard packaging

• User manual

Main advantages:

• Broad adjustment of the welding parameters:
  , MMA process, 1 (basic) + 10 (additional)
  , TIG process, 1 (basic) + 10 (additional)
  , MIG/MAG process, 2 (basic) + 8 (additional)
• Welding with pulsed current, which is programmable as well, in all welding modes;
• Besides protection against mains voltage surges, the machines have a work stabilising circuit for longer lasting voltage changes in a single phase mains supply and allow correct operation over a voltage range from 160 V to 260 V. Keep in mind that at the minimum voltage of 160 V you can weld with an electrode no larger than ø 3 mm in diameter, or run semi-automatic welding with wire no larger than ø 0.8 mm;
• Suited to a standard mains supply. Thanks to its high efficiency the power source
  gives half the demand for electrical power compared with traditional power sources;
• Automatic matching of the fan speed, which runs harder when the machine is hot and slows down when the machine is not in use. This affects fan wear, cuts the amount of dust in the machine and lowers the noise during welding
• Comfortable work thanks to loading the machine at rated current, without
  the breaks needed for cooling the machine down, at 25 °C.
• High reliability of the machine in production with heavy dust and high
  humidity.
• Longer life thanks to impregnation of the electronic circuit with two coats of high quality varnish, which keeps the product reliable over its whole service life.
• The welder has an electronic thermal protection system that keeps all heat generating parts of the welding unit from overheating.
• Improved stability of the electric arc.
• Smooth adjustment of the welding parameters.
• Efficiency thanks to the latest advanced IGBT technology.
