Product Number: 05696
Variations
Weld and steel from the same machine. Duty cycle: @ 20°C: 180A @ 30% (ARC) / 180A @ 30% (TIG).
EU Regulation 2019/1784 compliant. 4th-generation inverter (>80% efficient).
Suitable for welding mild steel. suited to workshop, fabrication environments.
Fan-assisted cooling manages operating temperature during sustained welding. Automatic thermal overload protection cuts output if the machine exceeds safe temperature. Covered by SIP's 2-Year Standard Silver Warranty. For operators comparing TIG welders for steel and stainless steel, the 05696 delivers DC TIG output with lift or HF arc start. TIG welding produces the cleanest, most precise welds — ideal for visible joints and thin materials. TIG mode requires tungsten electrodes and shielding gas (Argon or Argon/Helium mix) for clean, precise welds on steel and stainless steel. IGBT inverter technology delivers a smoother arc with lower power consumption than older transformer-based designs. Replacement consumables including contact tips, nozzles, and electrodes for the 05696 are available at PartsForMachines.com. Refer to the operating manual for full setup instructions, safety information, and recommended maintenance intervals.
Additional Information:
The SIP WELDMATE® PRO 180A ARC/TIG Inverter Welder is a dual process inverter welder specifically designed for use in professional fabrication workshops.
Powerful, compact and lightweight, this welder also features Synergic Control which adjusts the welding current output according to the electrode diameter selected for optimal penetration and bead formation.
Fully compliant wth Reg EU 2019/1784 (Eco Design for Welding Equipment), this welder features a 4th generation inverter which is above 80% energy efficient. This means it uses less power at the same output as older inverters, helping to lower operating costs.

A. The 05696 supports TIG welding, ARC/MMA stick welding. Output spans 10A - 180A (ARC) / 10A - 180A (TIG) across all modes. Suitable for mild steel.
A. The 05696 requires a 230V / 16A supply. If you are unsure whether your supply is adequate, consult a qualified electrician before installation.
A. The 05696 has a duty cycle of 20°C: 180A @ 30% (ARC) / 180A @ 30% (TIG). 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 05696 is supplied with the accessories needed to start welding — check the product listing for the complete included items. Additional consumables for the 05696 are available at PartsForMachines.com.
A. The 05696 is primarily designed for workshop use. Check the specification for weight and portability details.
A. The 05696 is primarily suited to mild steel.
A. The 05696 is covered by SIP's 2-Year Standard Silver Warranty, covering manufacturing defects under normal use conditions. Register the product with SIP at time of purchase to activate the warranty.
A. The 05696 does not include a foot pedal as standard. A compatible foot pedal may be available as an optional accessory — check the product listing for compatible accessories.
A. TIG produces the cleanest, most precise welds — ideal for stainless steel, thin sheet, and visible joints where appearance matters. ARC/MMA is faster for thicker sections and suits outdoor or on-site work. The 05696 lets you switch between TIG and ARC to match the job.
