Striker 200 Welding Inverter
Description
Striker 200 welding inverter for TIG and stick welding is a full-featured digital AC/DC welding machine. It adopts the latest pulse width modulation (PWM) technology, as well as insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT); technologies that provide more precise results. Weighing 24.7 lb., the machine is a small, compact, dual voltage (115 or 230V) inverter unit with digital readouts that automatically identifies the power grid voltage and operates accordingly.
The Striker TIG 200 machine features power factor corrector (PFC), which increases power efficiency, reduces input power requirements, and stabilizes the welding current, maximizing efficiency on extension cords and generators. As a safety precaution, it has a voltage reduction device (VRD) that reduces the voltage across the outputs when idling.
Targeted for light industrial, automotive and home use, Weldcote’s TIG Striker 200 has a duty cycle, on average 10% higher, when compared to competitive units. The duty cycle establishes how long a machine can hold a continuous arc in a 10-minute cycle. The welding machine’s micro control unit (MCU) corrects the arc length and synergizes its operations to optimize the welding experience for the user. The unit also gives users the option for foot control or push-button hand amptrol, to control the current. For stick welding, a hot start function provides easy ignition of the weld arc, while arc force prevents the electrode from sticking to the workpiece.
The TIG Striker 200 model comes ready to use with a TIG torch with 12-ft cable, a 230 to 115V adaptor, a flow gauge regulator, a gas hose, ground clamp, and electrode holder and cables. Optional accessories include a foot control and a thumb-wheel, hand amp control torch.
