Paton ECO-160 MMA welder, basic data
The MMA welder PATON ECO-160 is built for manual arc welding with covered electrodes, running on direct current. The ECO series is aimed at home users who need a workable machine with a rated current of 160A. That is enough to run any electrode from ⌀ 1.6 mm to ⌀ 5 mm, including the hard to melt grades. The duty cycle is not lower than 40%, which covers most jobs on a semi-industrial scale and serves the home workshop just as well.
The solid, compact build of the ECO series welders suits work on site. The small size of the machine makes it easy to move, and the professional transport case in the set makes carrying it much simpler.
Main advantages of the Paton ECO-160 MMA welder
- European production of welding machines
- Stepless welding current adjustment
- Runs on long extension leads and with a generator
- All electronic parts are impregnated with two layers of high quality varnish, which keeps the product reliable over its whole service life
- Improved arc stability
- Functions Hot-Start (hot ignition), Arc-Force (arc force) and Anti-Force (anti-stick)
- The machines have protection against voltage surges and a work stabilisation circuit, so they run correctly over a voltage range from 170V to 260V
- Two times lower electricity demand compared with traditional sources
5 year manufacturer warranty for consumers and for companies
The build quality is confirmed by a 5 year DOOR-to-DOOR manufacturer warranty. Models of the ECO series have a compact design that brings together a number of solutions raising the reliability of the machines. The inverter block works at frequencies in the kHz range, which affects the size of the transformer in the power block and clearly reduces the weight and the dimensions of the machine itself.
