MMA DC welding machines
Low investment costs and universal applications make MMA welding machines
from BOC extremely economical. The innovative Smootharc Elite MMA 162VRD and
MMA 180VRD inverter technology offers premium quality and high output with low
energy consumption. This development sets new environmental standards.
Highlights
Anti-stick – weld like a professional
Extremely easy welding: the arc burns steadily without sticking or
annealing of the stick electrode.
Arcforce: tuning for all electrodes
Arcforce offers exceptional welding properties with all types of
electrodes. No short circuits, even with rutile-cellulose electrodes.
Perfect weld seams even with thick electrodes
Superb control dynamics provide a stable arc, which makes joining
with rutile or rutile-cellulose electrodes effortless. Even 4-millimetre
electrodes are no problem for these machines.
Welding consumables and safety products
BOC has you covered, offering a full range of
quality products that meet AUS/NZ standards.
“Fail to safe” for safety
Both machines have the added safety of VRD (voltage reduction device),
which reduces the open circuit voltage to safer levels. The VRD meets worldwide
requirements and standards.
Advantages
