OVERVIEW

Complete Industrial DC TIG Solution

The Miller Maxstar 280 TIGRunner (907538002) represents a top-tier solution for industrial welding professionals requiring precision, power, and portability in a DC TIG package. This comprehensive system is designed to take the guesswork out of setup and operation, providing everything needed to start water-cooled welding applications immediately. At the heart of the package is the Maxstar 280 power source, a machine engineered for the most demanding fabrication environments where reliability and arc quality are paramount. The TIGRunner configuration specifically addresses the needs of high-amperage or high-duty-cycle welding by integrating the Coolmate 1.3 water cooler and the robust Small Runner Cart, ensuring your equipment stays cool and mobile.

One of the standout features of this system is Miller's proprietary Auto-Line Power Management Technology. This innovation allows the machine to hook up to any single-phase or three-phase electrical input ranging from 208 to 575 volts with absolutely no manual linking required. This makes the Maxstar 280 TIGRunner an ideal choice for shops with fluctuating power or for contractors who move between job sites with different voltage configurations. The machine handles dirty or unreliable input power with ease, maintaining a stable arc that professionals trust for critical welds on steel, stainless steel, and other exotic DC-weldable materials.

The package is designed with the operator in mind. The integrated Cooler Power Supply (CPS) is a dedicated 120-volt receptacle on the machine that powers the Coolmate 1.3. This intelligent design ensures that when the welder is turned on, the cooler engages, preventing torch failure due to lack of coolant flow. Additionally, the included Small Runner Cart organizes the power source, cooler, and gas cylinder into a single, maneuverable unit, reducing clutter and improving shop safety. Whether you are in aerospace, food and beverage processing, or petrochemical fabrication, the Maxstar 280 TIGRunner delivers the consistent performance required for high-stakes manufacturing.

Beyond its hardware, the Maxstar 280 offers advanced software features like Pro-Set, which eliminates guesswork by providing professional-grade preset parameters for Balance, Frequency, Pulse, and DIG. This allows less experienced welders to achieve quality results while giving seasoned pros the speed and convenience they desire. The machine is also future-proof, featuring a front-panel memory card port that allows for easy software upgrades and feature expansions as Miller releases them.

FAQ

The TIGRunner package (907538002) includes the Maxstar 280 power source, the Coolmate 1.3 water cooler, the Small Runner Cart, an adjustable shoulder strap, an 8 ft primary cord, and two 50mm Dinse connectors.

No, the Maxstar 280 is a DC-only machine designed for steel, stainless steel, and other DC-weldable metals. For Aluminum welding, you would require an AC/DC machine like the Miller Dynasty series.

The Maxstar 280 features Auto-Line technology, allowing it to connect to any input voltage from 208V to 575V, single-phase or three-phase, without manual linking.

QuietPulse activates during DC pulse welding to create a slower transition between background and peak amperage. This significantly reduces the audible noise of the arc, improving the work environment.

This specific SKU (907538002) is the TIGRunner package which includes the cooler and cart, but it typically does not include the torch kit unless specified as a 'Complete' package. You may need to purchase a water-cooled torch kit separately.

The CPS is an integrated 120V receptacle on the Maxstar 280 dedicated to the Coolmate 1.3. When you turn on the welder, it automatically powers the cooler, preventing torch failure caused by forgetting to turn on the cooling system.

The machine provides a welding output range of 1 to 280 Amps.

Yes, the power source itself weighs only 47 lbs and includes a shoulder strap. However, the TIGRunner package mounts it on a cart with a water cooler for shop mobility.
