0700500070 - ESAB MiniArc Rogue ES 180i Stick/TIG Welder Package

Professional Grade Portability and Power

The ESAB MiniArc Rogue ES 180i Stick welding package represents a significant leap forward in the compact inverter welding category. Designed for the professional who demands reliability and performance in a mobile package, this machine delivers a robust 180 amps of welding output while weighing in at a mere 18.2 pounds. The unit is engineered with ESAB's cutting-edge power source technology, ensuring stable arc characteristics across a wide range of applications, from general fabrication to critical repair and maintenance tasks.

Advanced Power Management

One of the standout features of the Rogue ES 180i is its Automatic Primary Select technology. This intelligent system automatically detects the input voltage, allowing the operator to seamlessly switch between 120V and 230V power sources without manual linking or internal adjustments. This flexibility is crucial for contractors who move between job sites where power availability varies. Whether plugged into a standard household outlet or a heavy-duty generator, the Rogue adapts to provide consistent welding performance.

Rugged Industrial Design

Built to withstand the rigors of the job site, the Rogue ES 180i features a specially designed housing that is IP23S rated. This International Protection rating certifies that the machine is protected against solid objects and spraying water, making it suitable for outdoor use in less-than-ideal weather conditions. The impact-resistant case includes an integrated ergonomic handle and comes with a shoulder strap, facilitating easy transport up ladders, into confined spaces, or across large construction zones.

Precision Arc Control

The machine offers granular control over the welding arc, a necessity for professional results. It features adjustable Hot Start, which increases the amperage for a fraction of a second at arc initiation to prevent the electrode from sticking. Additionally, the adjustable Arc Force control alters the volt/amp curve to stiffen the arc when the voltage drops, preventing the rod from extinguishing during tight fit-ups. These features allow the Rogue ES 180i to run a variety of electrode types, including the difficult-to-run E6010 cellulosic rods, with exceptional stability.
