TELWIN DIGITAL MIG 180: Specific Torch?

[Fred_64]

I am about to buy a used Telwin Digital Mig 180, it does not have its torch anymore.
From the pictures I can find on the net, it looks like it has a Euro Torch connection, but Telwin litterature states "automatic Torch detection".
It has a Spoolgun socket on the front, maybe Telwin makes the difference between the standard euro torch and a Push Pull (Spool Gun) Torch ?
I am wondering if I can plug any Parweld or Binzel torch to this machine.

Anyone has a clue ?

Might well be worth posting a picture of the fitting, i would guess if it has euro fitting, it would be very foolish for it not to accept a standard torch.

I guess it senses if a spool gun is drawing extra power and switches the main wire feed motor off or something along them lines.

Sorry I forgot that a picture would help, here it is (seems quite Euro-standard to me);

I had one to repair. Any Eurotorch would be fine. The unit can detect wheich gun is connected ie the spool or Euro.

The 'digital' element is a series of onboard programs that control the wire speed depending on what gas/material you are welding. Otherwise a very its a very basic welder built to a budget.

Sealey sell these for nearly 2K list.

Thank you very much for your reply, I should be buying this thing quite cheaply tonight, I keep my fingers crossed.

Otherwise I have to agree, the duty cycle is not amazing (although comparable to a Kempomat 170 I believe) and the synergic thing does not hide the fact that it has just 6 voltage steps !

I have just missed a nearly new Lincoln PowerMig 180C for 300 pounds (to be seen soon in the "Bargains" post), I hope this Italian stuff will compensate !

Edit : Yes Sealey do the same, but these clever guys rebadged it as a "Powermig 195" so you have to pay for the extra Oomph (195A with 0.5% duty cycle ?)

I bought it and here it is below (I started to work on it); very dirty but nothing broken, now I need to get a ground clamp, mig torch and a power plug. All this for 150 euros or 130 pounds.
The drive is not so impressive (all plastic) but the synergic panel seems quite clever with wire feed rate up slope, burn back time and pregas time that can be fine-tuned.
