Buddy™ Mig 500i
Buddy™ Feed 402
Rugged & Reliable Package
Robust and powerful
Buddy Mig 500i is an inverter controlled power source meant for MIG/MAG welding. With well proven technology, the inverter controlled power source will reduce the overall input power required thus reducing energy cost.
Easy settings
Wire feed speed, voltage control and wire inching are made on the wire feeder. The crater current and voltage, gas check, 2/4 stroke and inductance are set on the front panel of the power source. Other settings such as creep start, pre-flow and post-flow are preset to reduce the hassle of adjusting the machine.
Flexibility
The compact & lightweight wire feeder allows access of the feeder unit into tight spaces, thus improving mobility. The power source has an heater outlet for powering a 110V CO2 heater regulator to remove the need for an additional power line.
Applications
- Shipbuilding
- Civil construction
- Pipe workshops
- General steel fabrication
- Inverter controlled – more efficient power usage
- Light weight – improve mobility
- Easy-to-use control panel – quick setup
- Sturdy eyelets for lifting – improve mobility (power source only)
- Stepless inductance – easy to optimize settings
