The Miller Electric Mfg. display area at FABTECH offered an advance look at the new Deltaweld 500 MIG welding power source, due on the market in early January. Designed for a wide range of general and heavy manufacturing applications, the machine delivers 500 amps at 100% duty cycle and adds carbon arc gouging capabilities to the Deltaweld family of products.
“The Deltaweld 500 allows operators to weld bigger wires and thicker materials with more duty cycle,” says Brian Hammers, product manager, Miller Industrial Equipment Division. “This is a reliable, versatile solution for when manufacturers have higher output welding and gouging needs.”
The Deltaweld 500 welding power source is rated for use with up to 1/16-inch wire and can be used to weld a wide range of material thicknesses—from 22-gauge sheet metal to materials several inches thick. Just as with the popular Deltaweld 350 model, the Deltaweld 500 boasts the simplest interface on the market for pulsed MIG welding.
The addition of carbon arc gouging capabilities makes the Deltaweld 500 power source a versatile option for many manufacturers. Operators can turn on gouging mode with the push of a button and gouge up to 3/8-inch carbons using a dedicated constant current mode designed to optimize gouging performance.
The Deltaweld 500 welding power source can be used with single and dual models of Intellx and Intellx Pro series wire feeders. Intellx Pro feeders provide pulsed welding capabilities, delivering a more forgiving arc and wider operating window for welders of all skill levels.
The optional Swingarc boom-mounted wire feeders provide flexibility and efficiency in applications where a large part is being welded or when operator mobility is required.
The Deltaweld 500 system is available as an integrated package. The power source, feeder, cart and all necessary components ship as one complete package, so users can simply open the box, hook the machine up to primary power and begin welding.
