Description

Capabilities

Inverter welding MMA / MIG from the manufacturer Imperia, where inverter technology enhances the performance and durability of the machine and helps reduce its weight. The MMA electrode method creates thick and strong welds without the need for an external gas supply, making it ideal for welding outside the workshop. The MIG method requires the wire to have a special coating (flux) or otherwise needs to be connected to an external gas cylinder (e.g., argon, CO2). It can operate continuously for 2.5 minutes at 160A before needing to stop to cool down. Therefore, you may need more time to melt thicker wires and make more passes on thick welds due to the low maximum amperage it supports. Its weight reaches 12.5kg.

Advantages

With inverter technology MIG / MMA welding machines, you have the ability to weld in different ways:

  • Welding with a wire torch and using gas (MMA)
  • With a wire torch without using gas (using coated wire)
  • With an electrode torch (MMA). Additionally, for the MIG 350 model, Lift Arc TIG welding and welding with Spool Gun (for aluminum wire welding) for the MIG 215, MIG 260, MIG 350 models.

Features

  • Type: MIG 161
  • Performance (EN 60974-1): 160 A (25%)
  • Power (MIG/MMA): 5.9 / 7.1 kVA
  • Adjustment (MIG): 15.5 V - 22 V
  • Wires: ∅ 0.6 - 0.8 - 1.0 mm (coil 5 Kg)
  • Electrode: ∅ 4 mm (max.)
  • Weight: 12.5 Kg

MIG

The easiest welding method even for a beginner. 2. If the wire to be used does not have a special coating (flux), it should be connected to an external gas cylinder (e.g. argon, CO2).

MMA

Creates thick and strong bonds without the need for external gas supply, making it ideal for out-of-lab welding.

FCAW
It uses flux-coated wire, which releases gases as it burns, creating a protective zone around the molten metal.

    The best for welding. Easy to install and handle, a big plus is that it also does electric welding! Without gas, I can say that it doesn't do a good weld, but with gas, it welds great!

    I'm back with a new comment in a state of desperation about the work; I put it to work with a 3.1kw generator, 2.8 real from Lidl, and I ran it for about an hour on 1.4 millimeters of sturdy galvanized at low amps, and it went like a train, unstoppable, and the generator without a voltage stabilizer (AVR). I was amazed; for so many years I was afraid to try it for fear it would burn out from the currents, but it proved itself once again, my friend.

    I have had the 161pro mig since 2015 and I have worked with it a lot every day. The trigger of the clamp works instantly, while in some others it takes a slow 1 second to respond. It is very good, but the 200a is even better
