Paton ProMIG 270 (15-4) MIG/MAG welder

Paton ProMIG 270 (15-4) 400V MIG/MAG welder, key information

The Paton ProMIG 270 15-4 MIG/MAG welder is meant for semi-automatic welding in MIG/MAG under shielding gases and gas mixtures, for manual arc welding in MMA and for argon-shielded arc welding in TIG with direct current.

The design of the ProMIG 270 15-4 (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, 270A 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 unit, for ease of use and for safety. A mark of the semi-automatic welders of the PATON™ Professional series is a high quality sealed metal wire feeder, plus the KZ-2 connector of the EURO type, which has become a standard worldwide and lets you change the torch later as you see fit.

In the fully electronic system the control unit has every resource of the power source at its disposal, within its full power and regardless of the process in use. The Professional series machine is meant for industrial use, for the most demanding users.

Functions and features of the Paton ProMIG 270 (15-4) 400V MIG/MAG welder

GASLESS WELDING FUNCTION, WELDING WITH SELF-SHIELDED WIRE
All PATON MIG/MAG welders are ready for welding with self-shielded wire. Unlike the usual MIG/MAG process, this one runs without shielding gas, but it does need special welding wire. Such wire builds its own shield, which helps to protect the welding arc.

BRAZE WELDING, INDUCTANCE ADJUSTMENT

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

PULSE FUNCTION IN EVERY PROCESS

PULSE in TIG, full control of the heat put into the material, a strong option for welding stainless and acid-resistant steel,

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

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

MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE STANDARD AND PRO SERIES MIG/MAG WELDERS:

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

Main advantages of the Paton ProMIG 270 15-4 400V MIG/MAG welder

• European production
• Electronic thermal protection system that guards every heat generating part against overheating
• Reliability from IGBT technology
• Works on long extension leads and with a generator
• Welding with pulsed current in every welding process
• Improved stability of arc ignition

• Switching between 2T and 4T modes, gas purge from the feeder function

• The machines have protection against voltage surges and a work stabilisation circuit, which keeps them running correctly over a voltage range from 160V to 260V
• Half the electrical energy demand compared with traditional power sources
• Good fusion and correct bead shape in any welding position

3 year manufacturer warranty for consumers and for companies

Build quality backed by a 5 year DOOR-to-DOOR manufacturer warranty. Models of the PRO series have a compact build with a set of technical solutions that raise their resistance to failure. The inverter was made more reliable in dusty and humid surroundings.

Main advantages:

• Broad adjustment of welding parameters:
  , MMA process, 1 (basic) + 10 (extra)
  , TIG process, 1 (basic) + 10 (extra)
  , MIG/MAG process, 2 (basic) + 8 (extra)
• Welding with pulsed current, which is programmable as well, in every welding mode;
• Besides protection against mains voltage surges, the machines carry a work stabilisation circuit for longer voltage changes in a single-phase power network and keep running correctly over a voltage range from 320 V to 440 V.
• Suited to a standard power network. Thanks to its high efficiency the power source
  needs half the electrical energy compared with traditional power sources;
• Automatic fan speed matching: the fan works harder when the machine is hot and slows down when the machine is idle. This affects fan wear, cuts the amount of dust inside the machine and lowers the noise during welding
• Comfortable work with the machine loaded at rated current, without
  the need for breaks to cool the machine down at 25 °C.
• High reliability of the machine in production with heavy dust and high
  humidity.
• Longer life thanks to the electronics being impregnated 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 guards every heat generating part of the welding unit against overheating.
• Improved stability of arc ignition.
• Stepless adjustment of welding parameters.
• Efficiency from the latest advanced IGBT technology.
