A. Yes. The IMIG160 supports both gas MIG (CO₂, Argon, or Argon/CO₂ mix) and gasless flux-cored wire welding. Switch between modes by reversing the torch polarity — no other changes needed.
A. The IMIG160 requires a 230V supply. If you are unsure whether your supply is adequate, consult a qualified electrician before installation.
A. The IMIG160 has a duty cycle of 20% @ 160A. Duty cycle is measured over a 10-minute period — a 60% duty cycle means 6 minutes of continuous welding followed by a 4-minute cool-down. Operating at lower amperages increases available run time.
A. The IMIG160 is supplied with 3m MIG torch, 2m 16mm earth cable, 3m gas hose. Additional consumables such as contact tips, nozzles, and electrodes are available separately.
A. The IMIG160 weighs 14.5kg and includes a carry handle for transport between locations. It can be moved by a single person and is suited to workshop use.
A. The IMIG160 welds stainless steel, copper, nickel and titanium. Different shielding gas types are recommended for different materials — refer to the product specification.
A. Yes. The IMIG160 is fitted with automatic thermal overload protection that cuts output if the machine exceeds safe operating temperature. It will restart automatically once it has cooled. Operating within the rated duty cycle minimises the frequency of thermal interruptions.
A. Yes — the IMIG160 is specifically designed for automotive and body panel applications. Its output range and wire diameter compatibility make it well suited to the thin-gauge steel used in vehicle body panels.
A. For gas MIG welding, yes — you need a CO₂, Argon, or CO₂/Argon mix cylinder with a regulator and hose (purchased separately at PartsForMachines.com). The IMIG160 also supports gasless flux-cored wire for outdoor work or sites where bottled gas is impractical — switch between modes by reversing the torch polarity.
