Steels up to 6mm welded from 240V supply
Capable of welding 0.8mm to 6mm mild steels, as well as stainless or aluminium, a compact arc welder operates off 240V supply and has a welding range of 30 to 185A.
Reliable MIG welder facilitates thin-wall joints
Providing high quality joints in thin sheet metals down to 0.5mm place growing demands on MIG welding equipment and operators, which is why reliable TIG weld process control is essential.
To facilitate easy metal cutting, the Sabre-arc package includes the Murex PT-50 plasma torch and 4.5m cable length.
This features an "air-check" safety system which prevents any risk of the operator accessing the torch whilst it is live.
The cut quality obtainable is of the highest standard with narrow kerf and very low dross levels.
The operator can fine tune the cutting current to match the material, thickness and travel speed to make consistently high quality cuts.
Ideal for all types of material including mild/stainless steels and aluminium, the Sabre-arc uses a high voltage ignition system capable of starting through paint and and similar surfaces and it can be used in both drag or stand-off cutting modes.
The front-end torch heatshield can be substituted for a long access type which is ideally suited for cutting tight corners or for template cutting applications.
With 240 volt operation, the Sabre-arc provides an output of 10-35amps continuously variable and is rated at 35A/110V at 40% duty, 28A at 60%.
A consumable spares kit and instruction manual are included in the package together with a plasma guide/circle cutting kit, cutting tips, electrodes, swirl baffle and heatshield. Request a free brochure from Murex Welding Products ...
