Portable Welding and Cutting Machines



ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has introduced convenient carrying cases for two of its portable welding and cutting machines, MiniArc 161LTS power source for GTAW/stick welding and PowerCut 400 manual plasma cutting system.

"Weighing only 18 pounds, the MiniArc 161LTS is a portable, 115 or 230 V, single-phase machine that provides outstanding results for GTAW (TIG) and stick welding and is able to use cellulosic 6010 electrodes with ease. The Automatic Primary Select function configures to the primary input supplied. When welding in DC mode, the machine ranges from 5 to 160 amps," said a company spokesperson.

The MiniArc 161LTS features a fixed hot start function that allows the operator to strike an arc without the electrode sticking to the plate. The machine's fixed arc force is designed to permit deeper penetration into the plate without the electrode sticking. Another standard feature, the Lift Arc TIG, gives the welder the ability to lift the tungsten, eliminating the risk of depositing tungsten into the plate.

ESAB's MiniArc 161LTS comes fully assembled, ready to weld and packaged in a protective carrying case. The carrying case features locking clips with carrying handle and includes a quick-reference guide inside.

ESAB also offers the PowerCut 400 plasma cutting package, designed with ESAB Plasmarc technology. According to the company, The PowerCut 400 has a manual cutting capacity of up to 3/8 inch, and severs up to 1/2 inch. Recommended piercing capacity is 3/16 inch. The unit features adjustable voltage and can easily adapt to 110V-230V by changing the adaptor plugs provided. Automatic air pressure sets the air pressure for the application without operator intervention. Blowback technology eliminates high-frequency startups that can disrupt CNC controls and nearby computer systems. The machine is also generator-friendly and compatible with engine-driven welders when power is not accessible in the field.

The PowerCut 400 weighs in at 32 pounds and is easily carried to the job site or around the shop in its carrying case made of durable material. It includes a handy cutting guide inside, which provides information on cutting parameters as well as torch consumables replacement. The plasma cutting package ships fully assembled, ready to cut.
