The Stamos Power2 S-ARC 200PFC electrode welding machine is designed for 230 V power supplies, but thanks to power factor correction (PFC) it can also be operated with different voltages from 90 V to 270 V, so you can also use the device for power generators. Since the welding machine electrodes can also reliably compensate for unstable power sources, it is particularly flexible and can be used on construction sites. Additional possible uses are offered by the option of using a TIG Liftarc welding torch (not included in the delivery) in order to use the TIG welding process with the device.

You can adjust the welding current between 10 and 200 A using a dial on the control panel. If the power is reduced to 110 A when MMA welding, the duty cycle can be increased to the point where you can weld without interruption. The MMA welding machine with IGBT inverter does not require shielding gas, so you can work precisely even under adverse conditions, such as in high winds. With the MMA welder, you can weld materials such as steel, iron, cast iron, nickel or copper alloys.

The hot start function on the electrode welder ensures an automatic and short-term increase of the welding current at the start of the welding process. Thanks to this “Hot Start”, the starting point is immediately heated to the optimal temperature and the electrodes do not clog. You get perfect welding results from the first try.

The arc force and anti-stick functions further optimize the welding results. The arc force regulates the arc sensor and adapts it to the perfect density for the respective material. The anti-stick function prevents the electrode from overheating and sticking to the welding material by switching off the welding current. Thanks to the sum of its features, the welder is an all-rounder for metalworking, repairs and renovation work.

By means of an additional TIG welding torch with external gas connection (not included in delivery), TIG welding with lift-arc ignition can be added to this welding unit as an additional welding mode. For this, all you have to do is select the corresponding function on the control panel.

TIG welding is for when you need or want especially clean welds, with minimal contamination, that are straight and leave sharp edges. There is no development of slags, therefore the device does not require additional cleaning. Sparks, splashes and open flames are reduced to a minimum.

You can weld almost every metal and alloy, including magnesium, copper, nickel, titanium and steel. Very thin materials can be processed with TIG welding. In practice, it is possible to weld in many different positions: Whether welding lying down, overhead, vertically or horizontally, you are always in control of all welding functions.

The lift-arc ignition method, which has several advantages over high-frequency ignition, plays a special role in this. It does not influence or disturb nearby sensitive electronic devices such as smartphones, computers or control systems.

The welding machine has a compact housing and is equipped with a comfortable handle. The device is cooled with a high-powered ventilator that prevents overheating. In addition, an overheat protection rounds off the safety functions of the electrode welder.
