GENERAL PROVISIONS
PATON StandardMIG-160/200/250/270-400V/350-400V single-body inverter digital semi-automatic machines are
designed for manual arc welding (MMA), argon arc welding (TIG) and semi-automatic welding (MIG/MAG) in safety gas
and mixtures at direct current. The advantage of using a fully digital control method in this machine is the lack of
disadvantages inherent in multifunction systems made from analog control systems, which, by definition, are always
customized for a particular mode, and all other modes as additional have control disadvantages. In a fully digital system,
the control board has absolutely all the resources within its full capacity and no matter what mode it is used in. This
machine is designed for domestic and semi-industrial use. It provides a good load duration at its full rated current of
160A/200A/250A/270A/350A respectively, which is enough to work with any electrodes from
Ф
1.6 mm up to the most
high-fusing
Ø
6mm (for StandardMIG-350-400V) and semi-automatic welding with solid wire of
Ø
0.6 mm to
Ø
1.4 mm (for
StandardMIG-350-400V). The source is initially set to optimum values for most applications and is simple enough, if you
don't go into the intricacies of additional settings that already require a lot of skill from the welder. Polarity reversal for
flux-cored welding is possible. For hazardous working conditions, there is a built-in no-load voltage reduction unit in the
MMA mode, with the possibility to switch it on and off. A distinctive feature of PATON Standard series semi-automatic
machines is a very powerful, high-quality and sealed metal wire feeder, as well as the availability of the KZ-2 EURO type
connector, which has become a standard in the world, allowing the user to later change the torches at his discretion.
The StandardMIG models from PATON have a built-in undervoltage protection, as well as short-term
overvoltage protection.
StandardMIG-350-400V has a top-of-the-line
4 roller
feeder with all roller drive.
The unit saves all current settings at the time of shutdown and restores them when the unit is switched on.
The machine stores up to 16 individual user settings (programs) under its own number in each welding mode.
Main advantages:
1. Wide possibilities of adjusting welding parameters:
a) in MMA mode
–
1 (basic) + 7 (additional) + 3 (for pulse mode)
b) in TIG mode
–
1 (basic) + 1 (additional) + 3 (for pulse mode)
c) in MIG/MAG mode
–
2 (basic) + 6 (additional) + 3 (for pulse mode)
2. The availability of adjustable pulse mode in all types of welding;
3. In addition to surge protection, a system is installed to stabilize operation during
large, long-lasting
voltage
fluctuations in the supply from 160V to 260V
(for StandardMIG-160/200/250 models) and from 320V to 440V
(for StandardMIG-270-400V/350-400V models);
4. Adapted to the standard household power network. Due to the high efficiency, the source provides
half the
power consumption
compared to traditional sources;
5. Adaptive fan speed, i.e. it increases when the unit is hot and slows down when it is cold. It saves fan life and
reduces dust in the unit;
6. The convenience of work thanks to the long duty cycle (DC) on the
rated current
, which allows to weld
practically
continuously
by electrodes;
7. Increased reliability of the unit in dusty production conditions, as the source microelectronics is placed in a
separate compartment;
8. A
thermal electronic protection system
is installed on all heating elements of the source;
9. All electronics in the unit are impregnated with
two layers
of high-quality varnish, which ensures the reliability
of the product during its entire service life;
10. Improved excitation and stability of the arc combustion, which virtually eliminates electrode sticking.
11. It provides small dimensions and mobility, which makes it easy to weld in hard-to-reach places.
