1.2 prOperties
MinarcMig Adaptive 180 is an easy-to-use MIG welding machine suitable
for both hobby and professional use. The welding machine is small, efficient
and extremely light. It is easy to carry with the help of a shoulder strap. The
machine is suitable for a range of different purposes and the possibility to
use a long extention cord eases operation in various sites. It is also suitable
for generator use on construction sites.
The machine has both an automatic and manul mode. In the automatic
mode, you must first select the filler wire material after which the welding
voltage and wire feed speed can be adjusted with one control according
to the thickness of the welded sheet. Thus, selecting the right parameters is
easy. In automatic mode, the length of the arc, or welding heat, is trimmed
with another control. In manual mode, the welding voltage and wire feed
speed are adjusted separately with their own controls. The use of the
machine is aided with a display which also displays the welding current,
welding voltage and wire feed speed.
