Wilkinson unveils Mosa diesel welder generator

Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Mar 13, 2009

Wilkinson Star has launched the Mosa CT230 YSX CC/CV diesel welder generator for general on-site plant, pipeline and equipment maintenance applications.

This diesel welder generator has a super silenced canopy and is rated at 210A at 35 per cent duty cycle for MMA (manual metal arc) welding using up to 4mm diameter basic or rutile electrodes in any position.

It is also fitted with CC/CV control for solid wire and flux-cored MIG welding using the optional WF4 wire feed package.

The CV mode enables the infinitely variable control to set the correct voltage to weld flux- cored wires.

The welding current and voltage is controlled using HF Chopper technology, which gives the machine the same control over the welding arc as obtained using inverter-based welders.

It also has a 5kVA single-phase 230/110V output socket for use with power tools and MOSA's Power Optimiser PCB, which optimises the welding current without overloading the engine.

The user can also fit an optional TC2 remote welding control unit to allow current adjustment 20m away from the machine.

Other features include a single-cylinder Yanmar L100 6.5kW output, air-cooled, four-stroke diesel engine that meets EU gas emission regulations, a MOSA asynchronous welding alternator and engine shutdown protection in case of low oil pressure, and 20 hours' continuous operation on one tank of fuel.

For operator safety, this welder generator is also fitted with a VRD (voltage reduction device) to ensure that only low voltages are present at the welding terminals when the machine is idling.
