At the heart of the TECHNOLOGY 236 XT welder is advanced inverter technology. Unlike traditional heavy-duty transformers, the inverter uses modern electronic components to convert the mains current. This process allows a significant reduction in the weight and dimensions of the device, while increasing its efficiency and the ability to precisely control welding parameters.

Thanks to inverter technology, the welder generates an extremely stable output current, which translates into a smooth, even welding arc. This minimizes spatter, facilitates electrode guidance and ensures excellent weld quality. What’s more, inverters are much more energy efficient than their transformer counterparts, which means lower operating costs. For the professional, a TELWIN inverter is a guarantee of superior work quality, mobility and economy, regardless of the location or type of task.

The TECHNOLOGY 236 XT welder is equipped with a suite of advanced features that make the welding process easier, more efficient and less error-prone. Hot Start is a function that automatically increases the welding current for a fraction of a second when the arc is struck. This makes electrode ignition easier, especially when working with difficult materials, wet electrodes or on cold material.

Arc Force (arc dynamics) is a system that dynamically adjusts the welding current depending on the arc length. When the arc shortens (e.g., the electrode approaches the weld pool), the system increases the current, preventing arc “dimming” and electrode sticking. This enables smooth welding even in difficult positions and ensures better fusion. Anti-Stick, on the other hand, is a safety feature that, if the electrode sticks to the material, immediately reduces the current to a minimum, allowing the electrode to be easily detached without damaging it and overheating the welder. These three functions work together to create an intelligent support system that realistically improves the comfort and quality of any welder’s work.

The TECHNOLOGY 236 XT model bears the designation “XT”, which in TELWIN nomenclature means “eXTreme”. This is a guarantee that the welder is designed for reliable operation in the toughest conditions. The unit is equipped with a comprehensive protection system, including thermostatic protection to prevent overheating, and protection against over- or under-voltage supply (tolerance of +/- 15%). This protects sensitive electronic components from damage caused by an unstable power source.

A key feature for professionals working in the field is full compatibility with generators (with a minimum power of 10 kW). As a result, the welder can be used virtually anywhere, regardless of the availability of the electrical grid. In addition, the XT’s design allows efficient operation even with long extension cords, minimizing voltage drops and ensuring stable welding performance. These features make the TECHNOLOGY 236 XT an ideal choice for assembly and service crews and anyone who needs a reliable and rugged welding power source in variable conditions.

The TELWIN TECHNOLOGY 236 XT is a truly versatile tool that can handle a wide range of welding tasks. In MMA (Manual Metal Arc) mode, the welder allows you to work with covered electrodes with diameters from 1.6 mm to 4.0 mm (and even the occasional 5.0 mm). It supports different types of electrodes: rutile (universal, easy to use), alkaline (for high-strength welds), stainless steel electrodes and cast iron electrodes. This allows welding of steel structures, machine repair, locksmith work and much more.

For tasks requiring greater precision and aesthetics, the welder offers a DC TIG mode with LIFT ignition. The DC TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) method is ideal for welding carbon steels, low-alloy steels, stainless steels, copper, nickel and titanium. LIFT ignition (by rubbing the tungsten electrode against the material and lifting it) is gentler on the electrode and the material than traditional short-circuit ignition, minimizing the risk of tungsten contamination of the weld. It’s the perfect solution for thin sheet metal, piping or decorative parts where the highest quality and cleanliness of the weld counts.
