The HITBOX ARC200E is a versatile welding machine offering three primary welding processes:

  • Stick Welding (MMA): Compatible with 1.6–4.0mm electrodes, suitable for welding material thickness of 2–10mm. Excellent for basic and cellulosic electrodes (E7018, E7016, E7028, E8018, E6010, E6011) in addition to acidic electrodes like E6013.
  • Flux Cored MIG: Compatible with 0.8–1.0mm flux-cored wire, suitable for welding material thickness of 1–8mm. Requires a spool gun (sold separately).
  • ebuli TIG: Compatible with 1.6–2.4mm tungsten rods, suitable for welding material thickness of 1–4mm. A Lift TIG torch (e.g., WP17V) is not included and must be purchased separately.

Akụkụ ndị bụ isi:

  • 81V High No-Load Voltage: Provides stronger starting power, higher arc stability, and greater arc penetration, ideal for various electrodes and long-distance welding.
  • Njikwa Njikọta: Automatically matches welding parameters to material thickness and current, simplifying setup and ensuring optimal weld quality.
  • TFT-LCD Large Display: Offers an intuitive, informative, and user-friendly interface with better visibility compared to traditional LED displays.
  • Adjustable Hot Start & Arc Force: Improves arc initiation and stability, enhancing weld quality.
  • Anti-stick & VRD: Provides operational flexibility and enhanced safety.

The synergic control feature simplifies parameter setting. As you adjust the welding current with the Value Knob, the display will show the correlated material thickness, helping you quickly select appropriate settings for optimal welding performance.

5.3 Welding Modes and Features

Use the MODE button to select your desired welding process. Adjust parameters using the Value Knob and SET button.

  • Mmalite dị ọkụ: Provides an initial surge of current to help ignite the arc easily, especially with difficult electrodes. Adjustable from 0-10.
  • Arc Force: Prevents the electrode from sticking to the workpiece by temporarily increasing current when the arc length shortens. Adjustable from 0-10.
  • Mgbochi osisi: Automatically reduces the current if the electrode sticks, preventing overheating and making it easier to detach. Can be toggled ON/OFF.
  • VRD (Voltage Ngwaọrụ Mbelata): Na-ebelata oghere oghe voltage to a safe level when not welding, enhancing operator safety. Can be toggled ON/OFF.
