0558012702 - ESAB Rebel EMP 235ic Multi-Process Welder (MIG/Stick/TIG) 120/230V

True Multi-Process Industrial Power in a Portable Package

The ESAB Rebel EMP 235ic is the welding machine that bridges the gap between light industrial portability and heavy industrial performance. Designed as a true multi-process system, the EMP 235ic delivers top-tier performance in MIG (GMAW), Flux-Cored (FCAW), Stick (SMAW), and DC TIG (GTAW) applications. Unlike smaller units, this machine is built to handle full 12-inch wire spools, allowing for longer run times and lower consumable costs in production environments, while still being compatible with 4-inch and 8-inch spools for smaller jobs.

At the heart of the Rebel EMP 235ic is ESAB's exclusive sMIG ("smart MIG") technology. This innovative feature dynamically monitors the arc characteristics and adapts to the operator's technique in real-time, providing a smooth, stable arc that is repeatable weld after weld. For experienced welders, this means increased productivity and faster setup times. For novice welders, sMIG significantly reduces the learning curve, helping to produce quality welds with less training. The machine also features a large, high-density TFT color display that provides a clear view of settings and parameters, even in bright environments. The interface is intuitive, offering on-demand access to the user manual and spare parts list directly on the screen.

Weighing in at just 53 lbs (24 kg), the Rebel EMP 235ic is enclosed in a rugged, unibody steel case with a five-handle roll cage, offering superior protection against impact and drops. This design makes it the most mobile welder in its class, perfect for moving around the shop or transporting to remote job sites. With dual-voltage capability (120V/230V), it offers the flexibility to plug in anywhere power is available. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum (with an optional spool gun), the Rebel EMP 235ic provides the power to perform, running solid wires up to .045 inches and flux-cored wires up to .052 inches with ease.
