Designed for this process
Capable of this process
*Constant-current (stick) machines can utilize voltage-sensing wire feeders for some flux-cored applications.
Si 160 and Si 160 PFC See literature DC/27.05 UK
Portable with adjustable shoulder strap. Easy to transport at
under 6.2 kg (13.7 lb.).
Dual fan technology. An optimised power source cooling system
which enables the machine to operate at a lower temperature,
thus increasing its performance and life cycle.
Thermal overload protection with indicator light helps prevent
machine damage if the duty cycle is exceeded or airflow is blocked.
VRD function is a simple design that reduces the open-circuit
voltage to 20 volts when the welding power source is not in use.
Best-in-class stick arc character istics for those demanding jobs.
Preset Hot Start
™
for stick arc starts automatically increases the
output amperage at the start of a weld should the start require it.
Prevents the electrode from sticking and creating an inclusion.
Innovative PFC (power factor control) allows taking full advantage
of the available input amps resulting in the required welding current
without power leakage (Si 160 PFC model).
Inverter-based, DC power source with simple-to-use interface providing only the necessary
controls in a compact machine.
