APPLICATION &; CAPABILITY INFO*
- Single or Double Pulse MIG welding 20-220A with Aluminium (0.8-1.2mm wires / 0.8-5.0/6.0mm material*), Stainless-Steel (0.8-1.0mm wires / 0.8-5.0mm material), &; Bronze/Brazing (0.8-0.9mm wires / 0.8-5.0mm material)
- Conventional Non-Pulse MIG welding 20-220A with solid mild steel (0.6-1.2mm wires / 0.5-10mm material), stainless-steel (0.8-1.0mm wires), aluminium (0.8-1.2mm wires / 3-8mm material) &; bronze/brazing (0.8-0.9mm wires)
- Pulse MIG welding with optional Push-Pull MIG Torch and 0.8-1.2mm wires
- Stick/MMA welding 20-160A with most types of common electrodes (2.0-4.0mm), including steel, stainless-steel, hardfacing &; more
- TIG welding 20-160A (DC Lift-Arc) of steel, stainless, copper &; chrome molly up to 4mm max thickness (NOT suitable for TIG welding of aluminium - this requires AC/DC TIG capability, such as the Weldforce 202T)

FUNCTIONS
- PoP (Pulse-on-Pulse / Double Pulse) mode
- AB Pulse (Single Pulse) mode
- Easy-Mode (available in single pulse and non-pulse modes), ideal for beginner pulse welders: simplifies simplifies screen/controls &; prevents unintentional adjustment of the wrong parameter
- Pulse wave adjustments: Start Current amps/time, Start-Slope time, Main Current, Secondary Current &; Frequency (double pulse), End Slope time, End Current amps/time
- Root MIG mode: Used with mild steel wire only. Enables gap-filling &; first-pass (root) welding of pieces that are spaced apart (poor fit-up, gaps, cracks, etc) that traditionally would only be achievable by TIG welding. Weld pool is typically colder than the arc for very low heat &; minimal distortion.
- Trigger modes: 2T, 4T &; unique 4T Bi-Level which allows the operator to "manually double-pulse" (manually switch between primary and secondary current levels by quickly pulling then releasing the trigger)
- Other MIG Adjustments include: Arc Length, Inductance, Soft Start, Burnback, Pre-Gas time, Post-Gas time, Spot Weld time
- Stick/MMA Adjustments include: Hot-Start %, Arc-Force %

INCLUDES:
- MIG Torch BZL 25 3m with remote amp +/- controls on handle &; aluminium kit (for 1.0/1.2mm alu wires)
- Gas Regulator (made in Europe)
- Earth Lead 4m
- Driver Roller for 1.0/1.2mm Aluminium wires
- Driver Roller for 0.8/0.9mm Steel/solid wires

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES:
- Push-Pull MIG Torch (# WC-06369)
- Stick welding lead (# WC-06233)
- TIG Torch 17FV series or 26FV series

FAQs:
What is the Maximum material thickness the 220MP can MIG weld?
Firstly it is important to understand that;
a. The 'maximum weldable thickness' will be less in pulse modes than it will in non-pulse modes. This is becuase pulse is more complex, with multiple current levels, and typically requires more power than conventional MIG to weld the same material thickness.
b. The same applies to single-pulse and double-pulse: Single-pulse will typically allow welding of slightly heavier materials compared to double-pulse.
c. Maximum thickness capacity will vary depending on the application. One important factor is 'heat sink'. Larger workpieces / components absorb more heat (especially aluminium which is a very good thermal conductor), which means more/higher current is required, which then reduces the maximum weldable thickness.
In NON-Pulse manual mode, the 220MP will weld up to approx. 10mm mild steel or 8mm aluminium.
In Pulse modes, the maximum material thickness is around 5mm. If welding aluminium, Single-Pulse mode will weld up to 6mm, Double-Pulse up to 5mm.
For the above reasons, successful Pulse MIG welding of materials over 5-6mm typically requires 3-phase machines.

What is the Minimum material thickness the 220MP can MIG weld?
Again, this will vary depending on the application. Following is a general guide;
Aluminium: While the 220MP pulse &; non-pulse programs have a minimum thickness setting of 0.8mm, welding Aluminium less than 2mm with pulse (or less than 3mm with conventional MIG) can be very challenging. Fortunately the vast majority of aluminium applications involve material thickness of 2-3mm or more.
Stainless-Steel: Pulse mode is highly recommended for thin stainless material, to minimise distortion. Minimum thickness setting in pulse mode is 0.8mm.
Bronze: Minimum thickness setting in pulse mode is 0.8mm.
Mild Steel: The ATC (Advanced Thermal Control) feature allows excellent results when welding thin steel in Synergic Non-Pulse mode. Minimum thickness setting in Synergic mode is 0.6mm, however this setting can also be used for welding down to 0.5mm material.
