ESAB LAUNCHES ALL-NEW PORTABLE WELDING MACHINES FOR TIG & MMA
09 July 2003 - ESAB Group

ESAB's latest welding machines are the OrigoTig 150 and the OrigoArc 150, designed for the user who wants simplicity of operation, reliability and high welding performance from a compact, robust, easily portable machine. Suitable for use both indoors and outdoors, the all-new machines operate from a single-phase 230 V power supply and can be used with long mains leads to give access to areas distant from the power supply.

For Tig welding mild steel, stainless steel or many other weldable metals in thicknesses from 0.5 to 5 mm, the OrigoTig 150 unit offers several sophisticated features on the back of ESAB's proven inverter technology. With a choice of high frequency ignition or lift arc, the user is assured of a reliable, safe start. Furthermore, adjustable post gas and ramp-down helps to avoid cracks and oxidation. The OrigoTig machines can also be used for MMA welding, in which mode the functions include an automatic hot start, arc force and ArcPlus to ensure excellent weld quality with simple settings.

For users who do not require Tig welding capability, the OrigoArc is a simpler machine, though still benefiting from ESAB's inverter technology and ArcPlus for easy starting and excellent weld quality. Suitable for use with alloyed and non-alloyed steel, stainless steel and cast iron, the OrigoArc 150 can be used with electrodes up to 3.25 mm in diameter. Very straightforward to use, the OrigoArc simply has a current setting on the front panel.

Modern materials and innovative design ensure that both the OrigoTig and OrigoArc machines are compact, robust and easily portable. A carrying handle is provided on the top of each unit, and the simple, quick controls enable the user to move into position and start welding very rapidly.
