ESAB BUDDY ARC 400i and Buddy™ Arc 400i XC mmA/TIG (scratch-Start) Welding Machine The Buddy™ Arc 400i & 400i XC are heavy-duty, fan cooled, IGBT based inverter controlled power sources for mmA / TIG (scratch-start) welding. A wide current range and powerful welding performance make the Buddy™ Arc machines suitable for a wide range of mmA electrode types, such as:- General purpose – Low-hydrogen- Stainless steel- Cellulosic. The Buddy™ Arc 400i XC model has controlled welding dynamics that provides even better weld properties for welding pipe root passes, e.g. with cellulosic electrodes. The Buddy™ Arc machines are also capable of performing TIG welding with precise current control. All you need is an optional TIG-torch with a gas valve, a gas regulator and a cylinder of gas. You can weld mild steel or stainless steel material with or without filler material. • Inverter controlled – more efficient power usage • Light weight – improved mobility • Easy-to-use control panel – quick setup • Adjustable hot start – easy to strike the electrode. Helps you to avoid starting problems. • Adjustable arc force – sets the intensity of the arc for improved weld quality. • Wide mains voltage tolerance – stable welding controls Robust and powerful – The Buddy™ Arc 400i & 400i XC are industrial-duty, fan cooled, inverter controlled power sources meant for mmA / TIG (scratch-start) welding.
