It is a step control transformer Steve. We have an inverter based 1 phase machine, our PicoMIG 180 and 185. This will give 180 amps however, but we do have a version that has the advantage of pulsed arc welding
We at EWM have a 250 amp machine, EWM Saturn 256, which requires a 32 amp supply and has a decent duty cycle to run 1.0mm wire no problem, can also handle 1.2mm. Have had good feedback in comparison to other brands 300 amp machines
Hi Erik
as a very keen cyclist we (EWM) have sold a number of machines to frame builders across the UK, my first contact was Dan Titchmarsh of Titchmarsh Cycles, he is quite well known among bespoke frame builders, and does an amazing job! (he built my pride and joy Titanium road bike! Adrian...
EWM will be at the TWI show next week, unfortunately i will not be there myself. Also, look out for the confirmed date for EWM Open Days to be confirmed very soon!
Have you looked at the new Taurus Steel range Jim? https://www.ewm-sales.com/en/MIG_MAG_welding_machines/Taurus_Steel_puls_S___Taurus_Steel_Synergic_S___Taurus_Basic_S--13855.html
The 8 pole socket is for remote torches to connect mainly. The cheapest option would be to buy the conversion cable (or make it if you can). Alternatively you can convert the socket on the panel of the machine to 5 pole. If you have a Picotig or tetrix machine, you can actually use a standard...
Hi there,
I represent EWM in the UK, and if you are considering industrial and reliable machine with good duty cycle and excellent warranty, then you may also consider either Picotig 200 AC/DC or Tetrix 230 AC/DC...
Hi Rich, if you are looking to have the machine to earn you money and be worked daily and last, my advice would be to look beyond cost alone, and consider features, warranty, reliability, availability of spares, back up etc. Most machines can fit most torch types, but for your work as you will...
Hi all, just wanted to say this really is a thorough and excellent review of our Picomig 180 Puls machine! Thank you to Hotponyshoes for taking the time to share his experiences, and to all those that have added comments and advice! I will send a link to this to our factory in Germany, as i am...
Happy New Year all! If the panel is the very latest version, then it should already have the 1.2mm puls JOB's installed. If not, then yes it is possible to upload, if the dealer has our PC 300 parameter software. If not then it could be returned to EWM UK to have this added for a small labour...
You can buy a little trolley that the 180 sits on, which has a carrier on it for 300mm spools (or tbh you could make something quite easily!) (shouldn't have said that :doh:) Definitely the 4 roll drive is worth the extra investment. New feature is JOB for 1.2mm Puls welding on 4043 and...
As Jim has said, in your selection of the PICOMIG PULS TKM on the website, it has automatically added the torch, regulator, work return etc to the basket, bringing the total price to £2,442.50. It is as you said cheaper if you buy the complete set (torch etc are the same, and you get some wire...
Why not set a programme up with superpuls activated, then as you have discovered you can select programmes from a standard torch, you could limit the programmes from 15 to 2, then switch between superpuls on and off jobs, which would be set up with identical parameters? If you get what i mean...
Hi Garaldo
Sorry to hear of your problems with the Saturn machine. I represent EWM UK and if you have not had the best after sales service, then that is of course not good! Where exactly did you buy the machine from? If you can kindly send me details by PM, then i can possibly help you. I...
