Max-Arc® R-TIG 180 AC/DC Aluminium TIG Welder - Ready to weld package - 230V
The Max-Arc® R-TIG 180 AC/DC is a compact yet powerful
inverter TIG welder designed for professional fabricators, maintenance
engineers and serious DIY users who require high-quality AC and DC TIG
welding in a portable package.
Offering 180 Amps of welding power, the R-TIG 180 is equally
at home welding mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, titanium and
other non-ferrous materials.
High Frequency arc starting provides clean, contamination-free ignition,
while the adjustable pulse and AC controls provide greater precision when
welding thin materials and aluminium.
The machine also features an MMA welding mode, making it a versatile solution
for workshop, fabrication, maintenance and repair applications.
Built using modern inverter technology, the R-TIG 180 delivers excellent arc
stability, reduced power consumption and reliable performance from a standard
230V single-phase power supply.
