With multiprocess capabilities and features like Auto-Line™, pulse and high-frequency arc starts, the Maxstar 280 Multiprocess is the most versatile, portable machine in its class.
• Maxstar® 280 Multiprocess, Tweco
• 8 ft. (2.4 m.) Primary Cord
• Adjustable Shoulder Strap
QuietPulse is activated by changing the waveshape for DC pulse welding, creating a slower, more fluid transition between the background and peak amperage to create the least possible audible noise.
Multiprocess Capabilities
MIG, flux-cored, DC stick and DC TIG processes, allowing you ultimate versatility.
MIG
CV output of the power source gives this unit MIG process capabilities when paired with an ArcReach® 8 or 12 (or other voltage-sensing feeder).
Blue Lightning™
High-frequency (HF) arc starter for non-contact arc initiation. Provides more consistent arc starts and greater reliability compared to traditional HF arc starters.
Pro-Set™
Eliminates the guesswork when setting weld parameters. Use Pro-Set when you want the speed, convenience and confidence of preset controls. Simply select the feature and adjust until Pro-Set appears on the display. Learn More
Stick Features
Tailored arc control (DIG) allows the arc characteristics to be changed for specific applications and electrodes. Smooth running 7018 or stiffer, more penetrating 6010. Hot Start™ adaptive control provides positive arc starts without sticking.
Fan-On-Demand™
Cooling system operates only when needed, reducing noise, energy use and the amount of contaminants pulled through machine.
