Features & Benefits
Can Handle Multiple Options of Welding
TIG 160 DC give you the opportunity to use Stick, Arc and MMA welding. As because of stick welding you can use this welding process in windy or rainy condition as it’s not required any external shielding gas. If you habituated in arc welding, then you can use this machine too. Arc welding gives you facilities to weld heavy metal where need excessive heat to melt down. If you need powerful welding in the adverse situation, then you can rely on TIG 160 DC arc and stick welding.
Types and Thickness of Metals which are Suitable to Weld
As a powerful welder, you can weld ¾ inch stainless steel with this TIG 160 DC. Beside this, you can also weld Alloy steel, Mild steel, Copper, Cast Iron, Chrome and other color metals. You can also use it for traditional electric welding.
Wide Amperage Range
TIG 160 DC allows you to work in a wide range of amperage from 20 to 160 Amps. We know that for arc welding the ideal amperage is 20 to 100 Amps which you can get in TIG 160 DC, as well as you can adjust the voltage based on the depth of welding. If you required more penetration in welding, you could set a higher amp in reverse if you need low penetration you can set lower amp range. So, TIG 160 gives you complete flexibility of work.
Average Range of Duty Cycle
Why is duty cycle so important in case of welding? The device with a higher duty cycle allows you for welding a long time with a given power source without overheating or burning. As per US standard having 40-60% Duty Cycle is suitable for any welding machine. Keep this in mind, AMICO manufactured its TIG 160 DC with compatible for 60% duty cycle. However, the rated duty cycle is 100%.
Portability Demanded Transferable Jobs
The dimension and weight of TIG 160 DC are respectively 16.6´´ long, 7.5´´ width, and 11.8´´ height and 14.5 pounds. You can easily imagine that the machine is easy to transport from one place to other. Suppose you need to weld a truck body beside the road, so in such case, you can carry your welder easily.
