Ignis 150 / 180 / 250 — inverter manual arc welder MMA (and TIG)

Country: Austria · Model: Ignis 150 / 180 / 250

Ignis 150, 180 and 250 weld with coated electrodes (MMA), and the Ignis TIG versions also with a non-consumable electrode in argon. The lightest, Ignis 150, weighs 6.5 kg. These inverters are used on construction sites, in structural steel erection, on pipelines, in agriculture and for on-site repair, including in dust, moisture and cramped conditions.

Welding current: 150 / 180 / 250 A
Weight: 6.5 kg (Ignis 150), 8.8 kg (Ignis 180)
Processes: MMA (HotStart, SoftStart, Anti-stick, MMA Pulse, TrackingArc); TIG in the Ignis TIG versions (TIG Pulse up to 990 Hz, TAC)
Mains: PFC, operation with an extension cable up to 100 m; 180/250 — versions for different mains voltages

Description

Ignis 180 weighs 8.8 kg and, like the 250 A model, is made in versions for different mains voltages. The sturdy housing and the built-in stainless steel filter protect the electronics on open sites and in bad weather. PFC power factor correction reduces mains interference and keeps the result stable even with an extension cable up to 100 m. The panel with a 7-segment display is recessed into the housing and protected from impacts. HotStart raises the current when striking rutile and cellulosic electrodes, SoftStart stabilizes the arc of basic electrodes at low current, and Anti-stick instantly switches off the current if the electrode sticks. MMA Pulse helps in awkward positions, and TrackingArc strikes the arc at 8 A like a flashlight, to find the restart point of the weld without an automatic helmet.

How to choose

The power class is chosen according to electrode diameter and metal thickness, so the light Ignis 150 is enough for minor repair and on-site work, while 180 or 250 A is better for structures and pipes. If TIG is also needed, take Ignis TIG with TAC tacking, TIG Pulse up to 990 Hz and the TIG Multi Connector for Up/Down torches, torches with a potentiometer and remotes. For TIG there is also Comfort Stop, which switches off the current when the arc length changes and keeps gas shielding of the crater, and replaceable Multilock torch bodies.

FAQ

How much do Ignis 150 and Ignis 180 weigh?

Ignis 150 weighs 6.5 kg and Ignis 180 weighs 8.8 kg, so both machines are easy to carry around a site.

Can the Ignis be used with a long extension cable?

Yes, PFC power factor correction keeps the result stable with mains extension cables up to 100 m long.

How does the TrackingArc function work in the Ignis?

The machine strikes an arc at a weak current of 8 A, which shines like a flashlight. This way the welder sees the restart point of the weld without an automatic helmet.

Does the Ignis weld with cellulosic electrodes?

Yes, HotStart briefly raises the current when striking rutile and cellulosic electrodes. SoftStart is provided for basic electrodes at low current.
