0558102553 - ESAB Rebel 205ic AC/DC All-Process Welder

The Ultimate Portable Solution for Industrial Welding

The ESAB Rebel EMP 205ic AC/DC Multi-Process Welder represents a monumental leap forward in welding technology, bridging the gap between portability and full-spectrum industrial capability. As the first machine of its kind to offer true all-process performance in a portable package, the Rebel 205ic eliminates the need for multiple dedicated machines. It flawlessly executes MIG, Flux-Cored, Stick, DC TIG, and AC TIG welding, making it the only welder you need for a wide variety of materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. This versatility is a game-changer for fabrication shops, maintenance teams, and mobile welders who require a single, reliable solution for every task.

Advanced AC TIG Capabilities

Unlike other multi-process units that treat TIG as an afterthought, the Rebel EMP 205ic is a fully featured TIG powerhouse. It offers both LiftTIG and High-Frequency (HF) start modes, ensuring clean and precise arc initiation every time. The machine provides extensive control over the AC wave, allowing operators to adjust the frequency from 25 to 400 Hz and the balance from 60% to 90%. Additionally, the amplitude offset control allows for fine-tuning of the cleaning and penetration action, giving you the ability to produce aesthetic, high-quality welds on aluminum. For thin materials or heat-sensitive applications, the DC Pulse feature (1-500 pps) offers superior heat input management.

Smart Technology for Superior Results

At the heart of the Rebel 205ic is ESAB's exclusive sMIG ("smart MIG") technology. This innovative feature revolutionizes the welding experience by continuously monitoring the operator's technique and adapting the arc characteristics in real-time. For experienced welders, sMIG increases productivity by maintaining a stable arc even during positional changes. For novice welders, it drastically reduces the learning curve, making it easier to achieve professional-quality results with minimal setup time. The machine's interface is accessed through a vibrant 4.3-inch TFT LCD display, which is easy to read even in bright sunlight. The multilingual menu system is intuitive, offering on-screen user manuals and spare parts lists, ensuring you have all the information you need right at your fingertips.

Built to Endure

Durability is paramount in industrial environments, and the Rebel 205ic is built to last. Housed in a rugged steel case with a five-handle roll cage, the unit is protected against impact and drops, making it ideal for transport in service trucks or movement around busy job sites. Weighing just 49 lbs (22 kg), it offers unmatched power-to-weight ratio. The IP23S protection rating ensures that the internal components are shielded from dust and moisture, allowing for safe operation in challenging conditions. Whether you are working on 120V household power or 230V industrial lines, the Rebel 205ic delivers consistent, high-performance welding power.
