In the world of welding, precision, control, and versatility are the most important aspects welders look for. Whether you are a seasoned professional or a hobbyist, having the right machine can make all of the difference when it comes to getting the results you want. The CK Worldwide MT375 AC/DC TIG Welder is one of those machines that can change the game when it comes to getting the TIG welds you want. The CK MT375 is their newest TIG machine on the market. This system comes with everything you need to get up and going with a serious TIG machine.
The Details
The CK Worldwide MT375 is dual voltage meaning you can run off of 230V or 460V power. The machine is capable of TIG and stick welding and comes with a dual pump water cooler and utility cart. A feature on this machine that you won't find anywhere else is the Steady Grip Foot Amperage Control. This machines foot pedal also doubles as a pistol grip amperage control. Just open up the foot pedal and attach your torch to the pistol grip, it is the best of both worlds.
Specifications
The MT375 has an output rating of 5 – 275 Amps DC and 5 – 260 Amps AC on 230V input power and 5 – 375 Amps DC; 5 – 360 Amps AC on 460V input power. The machine is pulse capable and has a frequency of 1-200 Hz with a pulse width of 50%. The machine also has adjustable gas post flow, which can be adjusted from 0.5-20 seconds.
TIG Duty Cycle:
230V: 275 Amps @ 21.0 VDC, 35% duty cycle. 260 Amps @ 20.4 VAC, 35% duty cycle
460V: 375 Amps @ 25.0 VDC, 35% duty cycle. 360 Amps @ 24.2 VAC, 35% duty cycle
