R-Tech I-MIG160 MIG Operation Instructions Manual - Introduction
Introduction
The R-Tech I-MIG160 is a member of our highly acclaimed family of welding products.
Premium features include:-
1. Inverter power source – more efficient to operate, provides smoother weld characteristics
than traditional welders
2. Infinite welding voltage to allow fine tuning of weld characteristics
3. Adjustable arc force – controls splatter – ideal for automotive work
4. Digital amp & volt meters
5. Euro type torch fittings for easy torch fitment/replacement
6. 35% Duty cycle at 160 Amps @ 40C
7. 60% Duty cycle at 110 Amps @ 40C
8. Lightweight and portable – Ideal for maintenance and mobile welders
Recommended Processes
The R-Tech IMIG 160 is recommended for the MIG welding processes within its output capacity
of 160 Amps DC
Equipment Limitations
The R-Tech IMIG 160 is protected from overloads beyond the output ratings and duty cycle as
per machine specifications with thermostat protection of the output coils and rectifiers.
Welding Capability – Duty Cycle
The R-Tech IMIG 160 is rated at 160 Amps at 35% and 110 Amps @ 60% duty cycle on a ten
minute basis. If the duty cycle is exceeded a thermal protector will shut the machine off until it
cools.
