StandardMIG

MMA/TIG/MIG/MAG

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Digital inverter semi‐automatic one-body machines PATON StandardMIG‐160/200/250/250-400V are

designed  for,  manual  metal  arc  welding  (MMA)  and  tungsten  arc  inert  gas  welding  (TIG),  as  well  as  for
semiautomatic metal inert/active gas welding (MIG/MAG) in the atmosphere of  shielding gas with direct current.
Advantageous  completely  digital  control  implemented  in  the  design  of  the  machine  provides  freedom  from
limitations  typical  for  multi‐functional  systems  based  on  the  analogous  control  system,  which  are  always
inherently  geared  towards  a  specific  mode,  while  other  modes  are  additional  and  have  drawbacks  in  terms  of
control.  On  the  contrary,  control  board  of  a  completely  digital  system  offers  all  capabilities  of  the  source  within
the  range  of  its  full  power,  regardless  of  the  mode  of  use.  This  machine  is  intended  for  domestic  and  semi-
industrial use. It provides a good load duration at a full rated current of 160A, 200A, and 250A, respectively, when
powered  from  a  powerful  220V  single-phase  network  or  from  a  three-phase  380V  network,  which  is  enough  to
work  with  any  electrodes  from  F1.6mm  down  to  low-melting  F6mm  (for  StandardMIG-250)  and  semiautomatic
solid wire welding with a diameter from F0.6mm to F1.2mm (for  StandardMIG -250). Initially, the source is set to
settings, which are optimum for most applications, and is quite easy to use if you do not go into additional details
of  settings,  which  require  good  welder’s  skills.  It  is  possible  to  replace  the  polarity  for  fluxing  wire  welding.  For
safety  in  dangerous  working  conditions,  the  rectifier  is  equipped  with  an  in‐built  unit  for  open‐circuit  voltage
reduction  in  MMA  mode,  which  can  be  enabled  or  disabled.  The  distinctive  feature  of  PATON  semi‐automatic
machines  “StandardMIG”  series  is  very  robust,  high‐quality,  and  structurally  sound  wire  feeding  mechanism,  as
well as availability of KZ‐2  slot of world standard EURO type, which allows user changing torches at his/her own
discretion.

This StandardMIG model by PATON is equipped with a unit for minute undervoltage protection, as well as

against minute overvoltage.

Due to the increased frequency of voltage supplied to the transformer, the transformer can be made several

tenfolds smaller. That is why weight and overall dimensions of this machine is several times smaller than those of
regular equipment with identical output parameters.

Main advantages:

1. Wide range of welding parameters adjustment:

a) in MMA mode – 1 (main) + 7 (additional) + 3 (for pulsed mode)

b) in TIG mode – 1 (main) + 1 (additional) + 3 (for pulsed mode)

in semiautomatic MIG/MAG mode – 1 (main) + 6 (additional) + 3 (for pulsed mode)

2. Very wide range of settings for pulsed mode for all welding types.
3. In addition to voltage surge protection, the machine is equipped with a stabilization system for

large

long‐term

voltage variations in the 160V to 260V single‐phase supply mains. But it should be

remembered that at a minimum voltage of 160V, it is possible to conduct welding with an electrode of
not more than Ф3mm or semiautomatic welding with a wire of not more than Ф0.8mm.

4. The machine fits standard domestic power mains. Due to high efficiency factor, the source provides

twice lower power consumption

compared to regular sources.

5. Adaptive fan speed, i.e. increases when the machine heats up and slows down when it is cold, thus

prolonging the service life of the fan and reducing the amount of dust accumulated in the machine.

6. Convenient use due to high load duration (LD) at

rated current

, which enables virtually uninterruptible

welding with Ф4mm electrodes (for

StandardMIG

-200S) and

5mm (for
