The ESAB ET 186i AC/DC TIG/Stick Welding Package is a comprehensive solution designed for fabricators who demand versatility and precision. This system is engineered to handle a broad spectrum of materials, offering both AC and DC output. This makes it an ideal choice for welding aluminum, aluminum alloys, stainless steel, mild steel, and chrome-moly. Whether you are working in an automotive shop, maintaining boats and trailers, or performing on-site repairs, the ET 186i delivers consistent, high-quality arcs.
Weighing in at just 48.4 lbs, this machine redefines portability in its class. Despite its compact footprint, it does not sacrifice performance. It provides a robust 200 amps of TIG welding output and 170 amps for Stick welding, ensuring you have the power needed for medium-duty industrial applications. The included utility cart and foot control pedal transform the power source into a mobile welding station, allowing operators to move effortlessly around the workshop or job site.
One of the standout features of the ET 186i is its advanced control over the welding arc. For aluminum applications, the adjustable AC frequency allows operators to narrow the arc cone for precise penetration or widen it for a softer profile. The Wave Balance control is equally critical, enabling fine-tuning between cleaning action and penetration, ensuring oxide removal without overheating the base material. Additionally, the integrated Pulse TIG function helps manage heat input on thin gauge materials, reducing distortion and burn-through.
Durability is key for any industrial tool, and the ESAB ET 186i is built to last. It carries an IP23S protection rating, making it suitable for outdoor use where it might be exposed to light moisture or dust. The unit also features overload protection that automatically shuts down the power source if internal components risk overheating, safeguarding your investment. With features like High Frequency (HF) start for non-contact ignition and Lift TIG for sensitive environments, this package is a versatile workhorse for any professional welder.
