The MigMaster® 173 can also be fitted with optional digital meter kit for precise measurement of welding parameters.
Power Smoothing Device™
Although the MigMaster® 173 is a single phase unit, Power Smoothing Device™ gives them excellent welding performance in straight CO2 as well as mixed gas. Power Smoothing Device™ provides the same smooth welding current normally only experienced on 3-phase machines.
ESAB MXL Torches™
Equiped with ESAB MXL torches featuring enhanced gas-cooling and ergonomic handles. Features spring loaded contact pins in the central connector to eliminate any possibility of pin misalignment.
Optimum cooling of the torches gives them extended life time of the goose necks and the wear parts. You can choose gas nozzles in 3 different versions -- standard, straight and conical. This provides maximum flexibility and an optimum life.
