Mini welder PATON 150A, version without a transport case
The PATON™ mini welder is intended for manual arc welding with the MMA process, using direct current. The MINI series is aimed at users who need a workable machine running at its full rated current of 150A. That is enough to run any electrode from ⌀ 1.6 mm up to ⌀ 4 mm, while the duty cycle is not lower than 40%, which covers most jobs in household use (summer houses, small workshops, car service points and so on).
Thanks to the solid, compact build, welders of the MINI series do well during work in the field and around the house. The small dimensions make these machines very mobile. The PATON™ MINI welder has a built-in work stabilisation system, so it can be powered from a generator set.
Main advantages of the PATON MINI welder:
- European manufacture of welding machines
- Stepless welding current adjustment
- Can be run on long extension cords and from a generator
- All electronic components are impregnated with two layers of high quality varnish, which keeps the product reliable over its whole service life
- Improved stability of the electric arc
- Functions: Hot-Start (hot ignition), Arc-Force (electric arc force) and Anti-Force (anti-stick)
- The machines have protection against voltage surges and a work stabilisation circuit, which allows correct operation across a supply voltage range from 170V to 260V
- Half the electrical power demand compared with traditional power sources
Function description:
The Hot-Start function (hot ignition) gives a clean start to the weld and a first-rate strike: at the moment the arc is struck, for a short time the working welding current rises from the set working level to the optimum level. In some cases (when working from a weak mains supply or from a generator) this level can be set by hand, if the machine has the matching switch, as in the “Professional” series. Lowering “Hot-Start” to cut the power drawn from a weak supply, or raising it on a strong supply, makes striking the arc much easier.
The Arc-Force function (electric arc force) is used to improve the stability of the short arc and to stop the electrode from “sticking”. When a drop of metal separates from the electrode, the current is automatically raised to a set level, if the machine has the matching switch, as in the “Professional” series. By lowering the “arc force” to cut the power drawn from a weak supply, or raising it on a strong supply, arc stability is improved even further.
The Anti-Stick function (anti-stick) lets the welder separate the electrode from the workpiece easily. If a short circuit occurs, after a brief pause the welding current is reduced automatically. Once the electrode has been separated from the part, the power source returns to normal operation by itself.
3 year manufacturer warranty for consumers and for companies
Top build quality backed by a 3 year DOOR-to-DOOR manufacturer warranty. In the MINI model the frequency of the input voltage feeding the transformer has been raised, so the transformer is several times smaller, and the machine therefore has a much lower weight and smaller dimensions at the same output parameters compared with other machines of similar character.
