CADDYTIG & CADDYARC WELDING EQUIPMENT IS RUGGED PORTABLE & IDEAL FOR THE MOBILE PROFESSIONAL
25 June 2003 - ESAB Group

ESAB's latest CaddyTig 150 and CaddyArc 150 welding equipment is designed for use by professional welders who are out and about, working both indoors and outdoors. Moreover, the portability and flexibility does not come at the expense of weld quality, which remains high thanks to the incorporation of proven ESAB inverter technology and several sophisticated features.

Both the CaddyTig and CaddyArc machines benefit from an integral voltage and current meter so that the user can closely monitor the welding process, and a remote control facility enables the welding parameters to be adjusted from the torch, in addition to a remote on/off switch.

Suitable for both Tig and MMA welding, the CaddyTig 150 has high-frequency ignition and Lift Arc, allowing the user to select the optimum setting for the ideal start; control of the pre and post gas flow and the ramp up/down also helps to ensure the weld quality is excellent at the start and finish as well as during weld passes. When used for MMA welding, there is a further facility for adjusting the hot start, arc force and ArcPlus parameters.

Up to four sets of welding parameters can be stored in the user-friendly controller's memory, two for Tig and two for MMA. These parameter sets can either be selected from the control panel or via the Tig torch switch. Users have the choice of pulse programming and/or manual pulse switching when switching between the two Tig parameter sets.

For those who do not need Tig capability, the CaddyArc 150 can be used for MMA welding of most ferrous metals, including alloyed and unalloyed steels, stainless steel and cast iron. The CaddyArc 150 handles electrodes from 1.6 to 3.2 mm and has adjustable hot start and ArcPlus, thereby ensuring easy, reliable starts. Furthermore, the adjustable arc force helps to maintain an excellent weld quality, and the high power reserve allows a long mains lead to be used.

ESAB's CaddyTig and CaddyArc machines all operate from a standard 13 A, 230 V power supply and are equipped with a sturdy carrying handle. If a unit is to be frequently moved, an optional shoulder strap and trolley are available.
