All-in-one unit combines wire welding machine, generator

摘要

Miller Electric Mfg. Co. has introduced the Renegade~(TM) 180, which the company says is the industry's first all-in-one wire welding machine/generator. It is operable using its built-in generator or 230-V, single-phase wall power. It eliminates the need to own both a welding generator for field welding and a traditional GMAW for the shop. The unit can weld mild steel from 24 ga. to 5/16 in. and produces 5,000-W Accu-Rated~(TM) peak power for running power tools, lights, and a plasma cutter. It comes standard with a 12-ft. welding gun, but the optional Spoolmate~(TM) 3035 spool gun and extension allow the gun to reach up to 45 ft. away from the power source.
