Versatile Welding CapabilityThe ST-Series supports manual metal arc welding using all electrode types with rod diameters ranging from 2.5mm to 6.0mm. Its adjustable output current (180A to 400A) allows for seamless adaptation to different materials and thicknesses, catering to a wide range of welding tasks in both industrial and maintenance settings.
Advanced Controls for PrecisionEquipped with advanced hot start and arc force adjustment, the ST-Series offers superior control over the arc characteristics, improving ignition and stability during welding. The integrated digital meter display provides real-time monitoring for precise and reliable operation.
Built for Durability & SafetyConstructed from robust steel and featuring IP21S protection class, the ST-Series safeguards against dust and incidental water exposure. Efficient fan cooling and insulation grade F ensure long-term reliability, while cable lengths up to 5m enhance operator convenience.
FAQs of ST- Series:
Q: How does the advanced hot start and arc force adjustment enhance the welding process in the ST-Series?
A: The advanced hot start and arc force adjustment in the ST-Series improve arc reliability, making it easier to strike and maintain a stable arc. This provides smoother starts, reduces sticking, and helps achieve consistent weld quality, especially with challenging electrode types.
Q: What types of welding applications are suitable for the ST-Series machines?
A: The ST-Series is versatile and suitable for manual metal arc welding across all electrode types, including mild steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. It supports welding electrodes with diameters from 2.5mm to 6.0mm, making it ideal for construction, fabrication, repairs, and industrial manufacturing.
Q: When is the 60% duty cycle most beneficial during operation?
A: The 60% duty cycle at maximum output indicates the machine can operate continuously for six minutes within a ten-minute period before requiring a rest. This is beneficial during prolonged welding sessions, ensuring stable performance and protecting the unit from overheating.
Q: Where can I install and safely use the ST-Series welding machines?
A: ST-Series machines are designed with an IP21S protection class, making them suitable for indoor use in workshops, fabrication shops, and industrial settings where exposure to dust and limited moisture may occur. They should be placed on stable surfaces with adequate ventilation for fan cooling.
Q: What is the process for using various electrode types with the ST-Series?
A: To use different electrode types, select the appropriate diameter and adjust the output current accordingly (180A to 400A). The ST-Series is compatible with all common electrodes, and its advanced control features help fine-tune the arc for specific materials and welding positions.
Q: Which benefits do the digital meter and long cable length provide?
A: The digital meter allows precise monitoring of weld parameters for better control over output settings, improving weld consistency. Cable lengths ranging from 3m to 5m offer greater mobility around the workstation, simplifying complex welding tasks and ensuring flexibility.
