Miller Syncrowave 200 AC/DC TIG Welder (208/230 Volt)

NEW Miller Syncrowave 200 AC/DC TIG Welder

Best in class - the Syncrowave 200 is a Squarewave welding package that provides you with professional performance at an economical price.

A complete industrial grade single-phase, squarewave output, AC/DC TIG/Stick machine, and now with adjustable AC Balance Control and other new features. All you need is filler material, a bottle of shielding gas and some stick electrodes and you're ready to start welding. With over 20 years of Squarewave technology, the Syncrowave 200 is a full-featured machine that brings you capabilities which were previously available only with heavy-duty industrial TIG equipment.

Features:

# Squarewave™ output with AC balance features adjustable penetration and cleaning action while increasing arc stability on various aluminum alloys, and helps eliminate tungsten spitting and arc rectification.

# Dual digital meters allow for quick and easy viewing of actual and preset values of amperage and voltage. Allows for greater accuracy and repeatability in the welding procedure.

# NEW Built-in Pulse Control enhances weld bead and puddle control for improved appearance and quality.

# NEW Cable management system uses dual cable hangers and foot control storage conveniently attached to the power source side panels.

# NEW Auto Postflow protects the weld end zone and electrode by optimizing postflow time base on welding amperage.

# NEW 115 Volt Auxiliary Power with convenient receptacle on front panel for cooling system or small tools.

# NEW Syncro Start allows the operator to select Soft, Standard or Hot TIG HF starts to optimize the application according to tungsten diameter and material thickness.

Miller Exclusives
Squarewave - The AC output of a power source that has the ability to rapidly switch between the positive and negative half cycles of alternating current.

LVC™ Line Voltage Compensation - Keeps output of the power source constant regardless of fluctuation in input power ± 10%.

Thermal Overload Protection - Internal components are protected from damage by thermal overload protection which automatically shuts down the unit if duty cycle is exceeded or air flow and cooling are restricted.

Adaptive Hot Start™ for Stick - Automatically increases output amerage at the start of a weld should the start require it and prevents the electrode from sticking and creating an inclusion.

Comes Complete With:
# Power source with primary cord
# 150 amp TIG Torch with 12 1/2 ft (3.8 m) cord
# 12 ft (3.7 m) work cable and clamp
# Electrode holder and quick-connect
# RFCS-14 Foot Control with 20 ft (6 m) cord
# Gas regulator and gas hose

Quick Specs: Syncrowave 200
Input Power Requires 1-Phase Power
Rated Output 150 A at 26.0 Volts, at 40% Duty Cycle
Output Power Range AC or DC: 5 - 200 Amps

Price is $1600 and change to the door, thanks guys....

I love mine Dave, had it about a year & it is great.

Do you have the same one, Jim???? Going to do a bunch of moly on the Ranchero, sold my big Lincoln and need a smaller home use size. Just not enough room anymore.

Dave, I've got a Miller syncrowave 250. It's been a dream.I could not think of one I'd rather have.

Don

I had a Synchrowave number of years back before I got the big Lincoln. Now that Miller has the square wave, think I'm going blue again.....

i was going to go blue i have the 250X miller mig and wanted to stay all miller. but was talk in to the 275 precision tig lincoln with the avdvance controll panel with back ground and pluse and post flow i am very happy with my lincoln and look it miller but there machine to be over rated on out put ? i weld aluminum heads with mine and steel to.I just welded a head to day chevy bow tie and with the square wave and being to move the wave for better cleaning helps the back ground and the pulsing helps to.I had a old round wave miller that was ok. but i think the lincoln may still be better. hard to say no one would let me weld with any one of the machines so i paid out $2700+ with out runing a bead. the old counter man at my welding store told me to buy the lincoln .and i did get a great deal so that is the way i went but this is like ford or chevy. but i love my 250x milller mig and am very happy with both welders just wish they were the same color

I had a Lincoln too, great big. Need something smaller this time around. I'm only doing my cars now!!!!

the guys in front of my shop have a small lincoln they like it. the lincoln rep told me if you weld 1/4 plate you need about 250 amps this may be off a bit but not much. so a 200 or 185 may work good for steel but if you weld alum you want a big dog mine is not that big

No, not much aluminum, I've got a spool gun for my mig for thick aluminun. Mainly I want it for the moly, sheet metal work, and some stainless, the 200 Miller should do the job, right??

yes it will work good i would like to have a spool gun for my 250 miller mig they are very fast

Yup, for heavy aluminum the old spool gun is hard to beat......

Yeah Dave - I love mine- use it for everything.
