PATON™ ECO 160 — YOUR RELIABLE PARTNER FOR WELDING AT HOME AND IN THE FIELD

Inverter Welder PATON™ ECO 160 is a modern, lightweight, and efficient device intended for manual arc welding with direct current (MMA). It has been designed with home users, service centres, and workshops in mind, which require a compact welding-current source with stable parameters and full functionality.

FULL POWER IN A SMALL SIZE

Welder PATON™ ECO 160A is the choice for those who expect high performance enclosed in a compact housing. A maximum welding current of 160A permits free use of electrodes with diameters from Ø1,6 mm to Ø4 mm – including the more demanding ones, such as basic electrodes type 7018, which require a stable arc and precise ignition. A duty cycle of at least 40 % at maximum load enables the execution of most tasks connected with household, assembly, and preparatory works – from workshop repairs to prefabrication of steel components.

Small dimensions and low weight of the device go hand in hand with full functionality, which makes ECO 160A a ready tool for intensive use. Thanks to ingress-protection class IP33, the welder is protected against dust and precipitation at an angle up to 60° from the vertical, which increases its resistance to conditions prevailing in the field and on building sites. Thanks to a solid, compact construction ECO series welders are perfect for the field. The small size of the device makes it very mobile, and the professional transport case included in the set makes it much easier to move the device.

MAXIMUM MOBILITY THANKS TO INVERTER TECHNOLOGY

Application of inverter technology, consisting in raising the frequency of the transformer supply voltage, has allowed a significant reduction of the size and weight of the device – without compromises in respect of its power or operating parameters. PATON™ ECO 160 weighs only 3,7 kg, which makes it exceptionally light, easy to carry, and convenient to store. It is an excellent choice for users seeking mobile equipment for work in the workshop or in the field.

STABLE OPERATION EVEN DURING VOLTAGE DROPS

The ECO 160 welder has been designed for reliable functioning under conditions of unstable power supply – it supports a wide input-voltage range from 170 V to 260 V. Owing to the built-in current-stabilisation system, the device operates smoothly and safely, even when powered by generator sets or when using long extension leads.

For example, with an Ø3,0 mm electrode and a current setting of 120 A, the welder can be powered through an extension lead with a cross-section of 2,0 mm² over a distance of up to 105 metres without deterioration of operating parameters. Conversely, when an Ø4,0 mm electrode is employed at 160 A, an extension lead of 2,5 mm² permits effective work even with a cable length of up to 130 metres. Such capabilities make PATON™ ECO 160A an ideal tool for work both in the workshop and in the field – wherever access to a power source is difficult or remote.

INTELLIGENT FUNCTIONS FOR CONVENIENCE AND BETTER WELD QUALITY

Welder PATON™ ECO 160 has been equipped with a set of modern functions that support the user in achieving a clean, stable weld – even under more demanding power conditions and with electrodes requiring greater precision.

PRECISE WELDING-CURRENT ADJUSTMENT – the possibility of accurately setting the current intensity permits adaptation of operating parameters to a particular task and electrode type, which translates into greater control over the welding process.

CERTAIN ARC IGNITION AND MAINTENANCE – the device provides a stable welding arc – also when working with demanding electrodes such as basic 7018 – which minimises the problem of failed strikes and improves working comfort.

The device likewise offers three supporting functions that automatically adjust parameters at key moments of the process:

• HOT-START – automatic, momentary increase of current at start-up, which facilitates arc ignition and reduces the risk of electrode fusion, particularly when welding materials difficult to ignite.
• ARC-FORCE – dynamic current correction during welding, stabilising the arc when the electrode approaches the weld pool. This function lessens the risk of electrode sticking and enables stable arc guidance in forced positions.
• ANTI-STICK – in the event of electrode adherence to the material, the device automatically lowers the welding current, permitting rapid and easy detachment of the electrode without risk of damaging the weld or the electrode.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND ELECTRONICS PROTECTION

The device consumes up to half as much energy as traditional power sources, which makes it a more environment-friendly and economical solution. All electronic components have been secured with a double layer of protective varnish, which markedly extends their service life, even in harsh working conditions (dust, moisture). The high protection degree IP33 further safeguards the welder against external factors, which enhances its resistance and reliability in everyday use.

EFFECTIVE COOLING AND THERMAL PROTECTION FOR LONGER SERVICE LIFE

Welder PATON™ ECO 160 has been designed for operation in demanding conditions – therefore, an advanced cooling system has been applied, which runs at an unchanging speed, irrespective of device load. A constant airflow guarantees effective heat dissipation, shielding components from overheating and ensuring their longer durability.

The integrated thermal-protection system continuously monitors the temperature of internal components. Should the permissible level be exceeded, the device automatically restricts operation or switches off, preventing overheating and protecting electronic elements from damage.

Thanks to the specially designed housing and an optimised ventilation arrangement, the device maintains high efficiency even under conditions of heavy dust. Such solutions make ECO 160 excel during intensive and continuous work.
