TELWIN FORCE 168 MPGE: Your Mobile Welding Power in Any Condition! ?⚡
Imagine a welder that not only fits in the palm of your hand, but also works seamlessly with a generator, guaranteeing a stable arc even in the toughest field conditions. Introducing the TELWIN FORCE 168 MPGE – a revolutionary inverter MMA and TIG DC Lift, designed for professionals and ambitious hobbyists who do not accept compromises. Forget about the limitations of having access to a stable mains power supply. With advanced MPGE (Multi-Protection for Genset) technology, this welder is your reliable partner wherever mobility, flexibility and top-quality connections matter.
The TELWIN FORCE 168 MPGE is not just a tool, it’s your ally in tackling everyday welding challenges. At its heart is an intelligent control system that automatically compensates for fluctuations in the power supply voltage, ensuring a smooth and stable arc glow. Whether you’re working with a long extension cord or powering the unit from a generator, you can rest assured that the welding parameters will remain constant. This translates into fewer spatters, deeper fusion and aesthetically pleasing welds that will meet the expectations of even the most demanding inspectors. With a lightweight, compact design enclosed in a sturdy carrying case, the FORCE 168 MPGE is always ready for action wherever you need it.
TELWIN engineers have taken care of every detail to make your work as easy as possible. The intuitive control panel, combined with advanced Arc Force, Hot Start and Anti-Stick functions, makes welding extremely simple and efficient, even for less experienced users. Arc Force dynamically adjusts the welding current, preventing arc dimming and ensuring arc stability when welding in difficult positions. Hot Start facilitates electrode ignition by momentarily increasing the current at the beginning of the process, and Anti-Stick minimizes the risk of the electrode sticking to the material. All this makes work faster, more precise and less tiring.
The FORCE 168 MPGE is an investment in reliability and versatility. It will be perfect for welding with various types of covered electrodes (MMA): rutile, alkaline, stainless steel or cast iron. In addition, thanks to the TIG DC Lift function, you can make precision TIG welds with contact ignition, which opens up new possibilities for processing thin materials and stainless steels. This is the ideal solution for locksmith workshops, repair and construction companies, agricultural machinery service shops and anyone who values the highest quality of Italian technical thought and reliability in all conditions. ??️

?️⚡ Reliability in the Field: MPGE System and Aggregate Work
Working in the field often involves not having access to stable mains power. The TELWIN FORCE 168 MPGE welder is designed to meet these challenges. The key technology here is the MPGE (Multi-Protection for Genset) system. This is not just a simple filter, but an advanced input parameter control system that actively manages power consumption and protects the welder’s internal components from sudden voltage spikes typical of generator operation.
With MPGE, the device automatically adjusts to the characteristics of the power source, minimizing the risk of damage to both the welder and the generator itself. The system ensures that the welding arc is stabilized even during voltage fluctuations, which is critical for achieving reproducible weld quality. In addition, the FORCE 168 MPGE is optimized for use with generators with a minimum power of 6 kW, allowing it to work effectively even with popular portable models. For the professional, this means complete independence and mobility, the ability to complete orders in any location without worrying about power quality, and protection of the equipment investment.
??? Intelligent Welder Support: Arc Force, Hot Start, Anti-Stick
The TELWIN FORCE 168 MPGE is not just about raw power, but also intelligent operator support. The integrated Arc Force, Hot Start and Anti-Stick functions greatly simplify the MMA welding process, making it more intuitive and efficient, even for those with less experience.
Hot Start is an automatic, momentary increase in welding current when the arc is struck. This makes it easier to initiate the process, especially with cold electrodes, wet materials or when welding with hard-to-ignite electrodes. Arc Force (arc dynamics) dynamically adjusts the welding current according to the arc length. When the arc shortens (the risk of sticking electrodes), the current is temporarily increased, preventing dimming and making it easier to maintain a stable process. Conversely, when the arc is too long, the current is reduced, minimizing spatter. Anti-Stick is a safety feature that, if the electrode sticks to the weld material, immediately reduces the current to a minimum. This allows the electrode to be easily detached without damage or overheating. For the welder, this means easier ignition, a more stable arc, less electrode sticking, deeper penetration and cleaner welds, resulting in higher quality work and less fatigue.
?✈️ Master Mobility: Compactness and Transport Case
These days, mobility and flexibility are key for many professionals. The TELWIN FORCE 168 MPGE welder was designed with this in mind. Its extremely low weight (about 2.8 kg for the unit itself) and compact dimensions make it one of the lightest and smallest units in its power class. This makes it extremely handy and easy to carry, even on large objects, heights or in tight spaces.
An additional advantage is the sturdy plastic case (ACX PLASTIC C. CASE), which is part of the standard equipment. The case not only facilitates transportation, but also protects the welder and accessories from mechanical damage, dust and moisture during storage or transportation. Inside there are dedicated compartments for the device, welding cables and small accessories. For the professional, this means saving time and effort, the ability to take a complete welding set to any job site, and the assurance that the equipment is always well protected and ready for use.
?️? Versatility of Methods: MMA and Precision TIG DC Lift.
The TELWIN FORCE 168 MPGE is not only a specialist in shielded electrode welding (MMA). The device also offers TIG DC Lift welding, which significantly expands its applications and makes it a more versatile tool for demanding users. The TIG method with contact ignition (Lift Arc) is ideal for precision joining of carbon steels, low-alloy steels and stainless steels, especially where high weld quality and aesthetics are required, such as when welding thin sheet metal, pipes or decorative parts. (Note: the TIG handle is usually not included in the standard kit, it must be purchased separately).
In MMA mode, the welder can handle a wide range of covered electrodes – rutile, alkaline, stainless steel (INOX) and cast iron, with diameters ranging from 1.6 mm to 4.0 mm. This allows for a wide variety of tasks, from light construction and workshop work to more demanding industrial applications. Infinitely variable welding current control in the range of 10-150A ensures precise adjustment of parameters to the type and thickness of material and type of electrode. For the professional, this means flexibility in the choice of welding technology, the ability to perform a wide range of jobs with a single device, and excellent results for both structural welding and precision TIG tasks.
