Paton ProMIG 270 15-2 400V MIG/MAG welder, basic information
The Paton ProMIG 270 15-2 400V MIG/MAG welder is intended for semi-automatic MIG/MAG welding under shielding gases and gas mixtures, for manual MMA arc welding and for DC TIG welding under argon.
The ProMIG 270 15-2 design (15 kg spool, which also takes a 5 kg spool, 2-roll feeder) gives one of the best levels of protection against outside conditions on the market. The rated current of this model, 270A at a 70% duty cycle, is enough for 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 hallmark of the PATON™ Professional series semi-automatic machines is the sealed, high quality metal wire feeder, together with the KZ-2 connector of the "EURO" type, which has become a worldwide standard and lets you change the torch later as you see fit.
The control system is fully electronic and reaches every resource of the power source, within its full output and regardless of the method in use. The "Professional" series machine is meant for industrial work and for the most demanding users.
Functions and features of the Paton ProMIG 15-2 270 400V MIG/MAG welder
GASLESS WELDING, WELDING WITH SELF-SHIELDED WIRE
All PATON MIG/MAG welders are prepared for welding with self-shielded wire. Unlike the usual MIG/MAG process, this kind of welding runs without shielding gas, but it does need a special welding wire. That wire builds its own shield, which helps to protect the welding arc. Self-shielded wire suited to PATON welders can be bought here, and 5 kg wire spools fit every wire feeder.
BRAZE WELDING, INDUCTANCE CONTROL
Paton MIG/MAG welders of the Standard and PRO series can braze weld, thanks to inductance adjustment in three steps. Inductance control lets you match the arc characteristic to the thickness of the workpiece. 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, shallower penetration), and for thick parts the opposite applies (hard arc, deeper penetration).
PULSE FUNCTION
- PULSE in the TIG method, full control over the heat put into the material, a very useful function for welding stainless and acid resistant steel,
- PULSE in the MMA method, easier transfer of material from the electrode into the weld pool and better joint quality,
- PULSE in the MIG/MAG method, easier detachment of the metal droplet from the tip of the electrode wire, with adjustable pulse current settings. Pulsed MIG welding is useful on stainless steel, acid resistant steel and aluminium alloys. Pulse also gives better results in CuSi3 braze welding.
The machine has synergic control in pulse mode, which picks the welding parameters automatically and keeps the arc stable and the weld quality high.
MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE STANDARD AND PRO SERIES:
- duty cycle, PRO series welders have a 70% duty cycle, while the Standard series has a 45% duty cycle at the same welding current. PRO series welders also reach a continuous duty cycle 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 kilos. The feeder can be detached from the power source for easier welding with other methods, for example MMA or TIG DC. The PRO series also comes with 2-roll or 4-roll feeders. In Standard series welders the feeder is built into the machine, takes only spools up to 5 kilos and always has two rolls.
