PRO-STICK 170 – Electrode inverter with 170 A from 230 Volt.
DC model with TIG welding function and gas management.
With a weight of just 3.5 kg, the PRO-STICK
170 achieves a welding current of 170 A from a
230 V supply voltage with a duty cycle of 50%.
The rugged housing with protection class IP
23 makes the PRO-STICK a reliable specialist
for tough deployment on the construction site.
INTIG-Energy (Intelligent Ignition Energy)
XXIn electrode welding, the INTIG-Energy
configures an ignition overshoot that
guarantees safe and soft ignition. Ignition
in TIG welding relies on Lift-arc; thanks
to INTIG-Energy, the optimum ignition
energy setting is chosen as a function of
the selected welding current. This prevents
premature wear of the tungsten electrode, or
tungsten particles entering the weld.
EPC - Electronic Power Control
XXContinuous electronic mains voltage
monitoring guarantees operational safety
and prevents damage through switching
on/off. At the same time, the overvoltage
protection this provides considerably
extends the service life of the device.
Gas management (TIG function)
XXoffers a DC TIG welding option. The TIG
function (controlled gas pre-flow and postflow,
current-on and current-off function,
and automatic current ramp and reduction)
is controlled via the optional TIG torch WP
17 KM in a 4-cycle function; this ensures
optimal gas coverage of the weld, and
effective gas consumption (only PRO-
STICK 170 DC).
E-Max function
XXThe E-Max function gives you a maximum
of 150 A (140 A) electrode welding current
output with a duty cycle of 60%(50 %).
Fuse hold function
XXThe mains current draw is electronically
monitored, and the output power reduced if
needed, to prevent the mains fuse blowing.
In this mode, PRO-STICK achieves a welding
current of 140 A.
100 m power cable? - No problem!
XXWith the ELSA (Electronic Stabilised
Arc) system, the PRO-STICK guarantees
uninterrupted welding - even with mains
cable lengths of 100 m (with a 1.5 mm²
diameter, of course). ELSA makes welding
interruptions a thing of the past!
Anti-stick function
XXIf the electrode inadvertently sticks, the
PRO-STICK automatically reduces the
welding current to approx. 35 A. This avoids
the electrode annealing; and it can be easily
removed from the workpiece.
Temperature controlled fan circuit
XXThe PRO-STICK 170 has a temperaturecontrolled
fan circuit which automatically
optimises the cooling performance, thus
achieving minimal noise emissions.
