Overview

The RazorWeld ARC180 from Xcel-Arc is a high quality inverter welding machine with a primary function of DC-MMA (Stick) welding and 

 

additional  DC-TIG  function  incorporating  Lift-Arc  Ignition.  Produced  using  the  very  latest  generation  40KHz  IGBT  inverter  technology; 

 

this machine offers outstanding arc characteristics whilst also being highly reliable, robust and incredibly portable. The DC-MMA welding 

function delivers a smooth and incredibly stable arc, producing high quality welds including cast Iron, stainless and low hydrogen. With the 

inclusion of both Hot-Start and automatic Arc Force coupled with Selectable VRD for increased workplace safety, this machine is suited to site 

work and a popular choice for the general engineer or contractor. With connection of the optional XA17V Tig Torch, this machine also provides  

intermediate level DC-TIG welding of steel, stainless steel, bronze and copper. The Lift-Arc TIG function is superb and delivers perfect arc 

ignition every time without any sticking or inclusion of the tungsten electrode to the work piece and a remarkably smooth stable arc produces high 

quality TIG welds. The ARC180RZ is an exceptional machine suitable for a wide range of applications including medium-level industrial use, 

site welding, farming and general repair and maintenance work. The ARC180RZ gives you great portability with the power to get the job done. 

 

Built to our specification and manufactured in compliance to AS/NZ60974-1.
