The Thermal Arc Fabricator 181i is a robust and versatile welding system designed to meet the diverse needs of modern fabrication and maintenance operations. Engineered as a three-in-one power source, this machine enables operators to perform MIG, Stick, and TIG welding from a single, compact unit. This multi-process capability makes it an invaluable asset for workshops where space is at a premium or for mobile technicians who require a comprehensive welding solution that can be easily transported to the job site.
At the core of the Fabricator 181i is a reliable power supply delivering 145 Amps at 22.5 Volts with a 30% duty cycle. This power output is sufficient for a wide range of applications, from light stainless steel fabricating to working with steel and aluminum. The unit features digital meters that allow the operator to preview and post-view welding parameters, ensuring precise setup and consistent results. The inclusion of "Fan on Demand" technology is a critical design feature; the cooling fan operates only when necessary, significantly reducing the amount of airborne dust and contaminants pulled through the internal components, thereby extending the lifespan of the machine.
This package is curated to provide immediate operational readiness. It includes industry-leading accessories such as a 12-foot Tweco 180A MIG Gun, known for its durability and ergonomic design, and a Tweco 200A Electrode Holder for Stick welding applications. A Victor Flowgauge Regulator is also supplied to ensure accurate gas flow control. While the machine is TIG-capable, it is important to note that the TIG torch is available as an optional accessory, allowing users to customize their setup based on specific requirements. The unit also features a remote receptacle, making it compatible with foot controls and spool guns for enhanced flexibility.
The Fabricator 181i is designed with the user in mind, featuring an easy setup chart to guide operators through parameter selection. Polarity changes are straightforward, facilitating quick transitions between solid and flux-cored wires. Overload protection safeguards the internal circuitry against thermal stress, ensuring reliability during extended use. Whether for maintenance, repair, or light fabrication, the Thermal Arc Fabricator 181i delivers professional-grade performance in a portable package.
