With multiprocess capabilities and features like Auto-Line™, pulse and high-frequency arc starts, the Maxstar 280 Multiprocess is the most versatile, portable machine in its class. Includes tweco-style connectors

Does Not Include

  • Weld leads
  • TIG torch
  • Work cables
  • Quick Reference Guide
  • TIG remote fingertip/foot control
  • ArcReach® SuitCase® 8 or 12 feeder
  • TIG torch adapter

Features

  • Eliminates the guesswork when setting weld parameters. Use Pro-Set when you want the speed, convenience and confidence of preset controls. Simply select the feature and adjust until Pro-Set appears on the display.
  • Tailored arc control (DIG) allows the arc characteristics to be changed for specific applications and electrodes. Smooth running 7018 or stiffer, more penetrating 6010. Hot Start™ adaptive control provides positive arc starts without sticking.
  • High-frequency (HF) arc starter for non-contact arc initiation. Provides more consistent arc starts and greater reliability compared to traditional HF arc starters.
  • Cooling system operates only when needed, reducing noise, energy use and the amount of contaminants pulled through machine.
  • CV output of the power source gives this unit MIG process capabilities when paired with an ArcReach® 8 or 12 (or other voltage-sensing feeder).
  • MIG, flux-cored, DC stick and DC TIG processes, allowing you ultimate versatility.
  • QuietPulse is activated by changing the waveshape for DC pulse welding, creating a slower, more fluid transition between the background and peak amperage to create the least possible audible noise.
