The Pico 160 cel puls from EWM
EWM AG has designed one of the
lightest portable electrode welding
machines currently available: the Pico
160 cel puls, weighing only 4.7kg. It can
be used safely for vertical-down CEL
welding and TIG pulse welding for the
230V lighting main. The latest addition to
EWM’s Pico range has been optimised in
several ways with the focus on welding
results, universal usability and enhanced
user-friendly operation as well as a high
level of robustness.
The Pico 160 cel puls also features a
new ergonomic design. With its stable,
splash-proof housing made of plastic
and aluminium and a transparent
protective cap over the new control
this is an option for many applications
– construction sites, workshops and
other assembly work. Another highlight
is the simple operability of the welding
machine. The new control’s easy-to-read
display enables the welding parameters
to be set precisely. This is an important
prerequisite for simple reproducibility
in order to ensure that consistent high-
quality welding results are achieved.
EWM’s single-hand operation concept
also enables the functions to be set using
a single large button, which means users
do not need to remove their gloves every
time they need to change a setting.
Other advantages are the remote
control connection option and the large
connection sockets (50mm2), which
enable the machine to be combined
with standard electrode holders and
standard TIG welding torches with rotary
gas valves.
It is not only the external features of
the new Pico 160 cel puls that have
improved. Hot start and an anti-stick
function for sticking electrodes are
all integrated as standard, providing
support for all welding processes. The
new pulse function also enables easy
vertical-up and vertical-down welding
without having to resort to the complex
‘Christmas tree’ technique. This makes
work easier, especially in hard-to-reach
areas or locations with poor visibility.
The Pico demonstrates its strengths
when welding electrodes up to 4mm
and enables 100 per cent safe vertical-
down welding when using cellulose
electrodes.
The Pico 160 cel puls is suitable
for use in industry and in workshops,
for both fast repairs and continuous
operation.
