ESAB product range:

Fabricator EM 401i/501i – Built tough for farm and workshop use

The ESAB Fabricator EM 401i/501i is a heavy-duty inverter-controlled welding power source that is built to withstand rugged farm and workshop conditions.

Perfect for MIG/MAG and MMA (stick) welding, it handles solid and flux-cored wires with the Fabricator Feed for smooth, reliable performance.

It’s ideal for repairing tractors, implements, fencing, and farm structures.

Features:

• Rugged and reliable welding system for heavy applications: 400 A or 500 A at a 60% duty cycle.
• Three variants, one 500 with an integrated cooling unit, and two 400 with and without a cooling unit.
• Energy savings with high power factor, high efficiency and low idle power
• Lower cost of operation. Delivers all the added benefits of an inverter technology at a similar price to a conventional transformer machine.
• The machine is built with integrated wide and large wheels and cylinder support to facilitate moving around the workshop. Also includes two side cable handling supports.
• Wide voltage tolerance for stable welding output.
• Variable inductance control for better arc performance.
• IP23 use anywhere, for field and workshop applications.

Rebel™ EMP 235ic – Next-level welding machine that performs

When it comes to getting around and getting work done, Rebel EMP 235ic is second to none. It is the most mobile welder in its class and has the power and performance to crush even the most demanding jobs.

Features:

• True multi-process – excellent performance on MIG, TIG and Stick.
• Unmatched portability – weighing in at 24 kg with dual voltage capability and a four-handle roll cage. Detach the Rebel 235ic from its cart and tackle any job around the shop or out at the job site.
• sMIG Technology – innovative “smart-MIG” feature that dynamically monitors the arc characteristics, ultimately adapting to your technique, resulting in a smooth, stable arc. Set the wire diameter and plate thickness and you are ready to weld.

HandyArc 3.25i – Practical and robust

At only 3,7 kg, it features a main voltage of 220 V. The new HandyArc line brings a concept of ultraportable machines that are ideal for blacksmiths and professionals who need to make minor repairs inside and outside the workshop.

Featuring a reinforced handle for transportation, the compact model fits in your tool cabinet and in the trunk of your motorcycle.

Features:

• Simple and easy-to-use panel – Adjust the welding current according to the diameter of the electrode.
• Economical as always – Excellent efficiency ensures the lowest energy consumption in the category.
• Flawless weldability and easy arc opening – welds electrodes up to 3,25 mm, including 7018.
• Productivity and security – More efficient and accurate turbo ventilation and an overheating sensor ensure that your machine works all day.
• Extreme versatility – Weld all types of materials, including carbon steel, aluminium, chrome alloys and nickel.
