Compact TIG machines offer precise control
Kemppi (UK) has launched Mastertig MLST (Multi Logic System) 2500 and 3500 TIG welding machines, which feature compact size and a wide power generator voltage range.
The old, MMG 18 gun has been replaced with a new gun, the MMG 20.
It has a much more streamlined design, which goes very well with the award-winning design of the MinarcMig Adaptive 180 welding machine.
The new gun completes the design of the welding machine to form a well-designed, harmonious unit.
The enhancements in the MMG 20 welding gun are not restricted to merely its design.
The technical and functional characteristics of the gun have been improved also.
A welding gun is subjected to high stress, especially when used near maximal power in welding without shielding gas.
If the welding gun overheats, even the gun mechanism could be damaged.
In the new MMG 20 welding gun, the heat resistance has been improved by using gas hose material with better heat tolerance.
Thanks to the handle's improved structure, the temperature doesn't rise too much and the gun is more comfortable to use.
Ease of use is improved further by the supportive extension of the handle, the bending support.
With the bending support, you can weld in a variety of positions without making sharp bends in the cable behind the handle.
The feature also makes the wire feed smooth and reliable all the time.
The new MMG 20 welding gun is included in the standard MinarcMig Adaptive 180 delivery.
