Lincoln Electric introduced the Sprinter 180Si stick welder at this year’s ARA Show. The unit combined stick welding with advanced TIG functionality, wrapped up in a portable, lightweight package, thanks to the newest inverter technology.
The 180Si is designed with a maximum output of 180 amps to enable stick welding quality. Operators can weld up to 5/32-inch electrodes (6010/7018) and can even choose a dedicated 6010 mode for cellulosic stick electrodes.
But the 180Si is more than just a stick welder. It also delivers 200 amps for TIG welding and offers a variety of advanced TIG features:
· Pulse mode with options ranging from .1 to 100 pulses per second
· A choice of high-frequency or lift-start options at the push of a button
· TIG-ready capabilities with an 8-pin connector for foot pedals, hand amptrols and other devices
The 180Si is portable and versatile. Weighing in at less than 20 pounds, it goes anywhere easily and the dual-input voltage enables the operator to plug into any common power supply. Once it’s up and running, the simple user interface provides an easy-to-read seven-segment display and push-button controls. And it all packs up neatly in an ergonomically designed case with a handle and shoulder strap that make it easier to carry and move – around the shop or to any location.
Stick or TIG, in the shop or on the move, the Sprinter 180Si is designed for welders of every kind – home hobbyist, professional, or both. And it’s ready for every type of work – maintenance and repair, farm, light industrial, shipbuilding and more.
