0558102554 - ESAB Rebel EMP 285ic 120V/230V Multi-Process Welder System

Industrial Power Meets Intelligent Technology

The ESAB Rebel EMP 285ic (SKU: 0558102554) represents a significant leap forward in portable industrial welding technology. Designed to bridge the gap between light industrial machines and heavy-duty shop floor equipment, the EMP 285ic delivers a massive 285 amps at 40% duty cycle (230V), giving you the confidence to tackle heavy fabrication jobs without sacrificing mobility. This single-phase 120V/230V unit is a true multi-process machine, offering top-tier performance in MIG, Flux-Cored, Stick, and DC TIG applications.

At the heart of the Rebel's performance is ESAB's exclusive sMIG ("smart MIG") technology. This innovative feature dynamically monitors arc characteristics and adapts to the operator's technique in real-time, providing a smooth, stable arc that reduces spatter and improves weld consistency. For experienced welders, this means higher productivity; for novices, it significantly reduces the learning curve. The machine is controlled via a vibrant TFT multilingual display that allows for precise adjustment of parameters, including inductance, trim, and pre/post flow, along with four programmable memory slots for each process.

Durability and feed reliability are paramount in industrial settings, which is why the EMP 285ic features a robust 4-Roll Drive System. This upgraded drive mechanism enables the machine to run solid wires up to .052 inches and cored wires up to 1/16 inch with ease. Housed in a five-handle roll cage that weighs just 70 lbs (32 kg), the unit is protected against impact and is easy to transport. With IP23S protection, it is safe for use in both indoor and outdoor environments, making it the ideal solution for agricultural repair, civil construction, and general fabrication.
