Multi-Process Welders - Functional, Easy To Use Performance!

Welders have evolved significantly over the last 10 years, thanks to improvements in technology, user expectations, and industry demands. Once in the not too distant past switching between MIG, TIG, and Stick often meant owing multiple welders.

Some of the changes that are now common include:

Inverter Technology Is Standard

We have moved from transformer-based machines — heavy, power-hungry, and bulky, to inverter based machines, these are lighter, more portable, and energy-efficient, with better arc control.

Multi-Process Capability

The ability to switch between ARC / MIG and TIG functions offers exceptional flexibility for on-site repairs, workshop tasks, and mobile use.

Smart Controls And Digital Interface

Digital displays, pre-set programs, and synergic controls (where one dial adjusts multiple settings automatically) are standard even in basic units - No longer multiple dials for voltage and wire speed.

Improved Arc Stability And Quality

Advance waveform control now gives smoother, more stable arcs, especially at lower amps, as well as better starts, reduced spatter, and easier welding on thin materials (like auto panels)

Expanded Material Compatibility

Modern welding machines handle a wider range of wire types: mild steel, stainless, aluminium, flux-core, metal-cored, and more. These machines can also allow for easier switching between solid and flux-cored wire, often without needing internal rewiring.

Energy Efficiency And Generator Compatibility

Inverter welders are now much more generator-friendly, with auto-sensing input voltage and better protection from power fluctuations.

In Conclusion

Over the past decade, MIG welders have become lighter, smarter, more versatile, and easier to use, without compromising on performance.

The gap between professional and DIY gear has narrowed considerably, making quality welding more accessible to everyone.
