ESAB ROGUE ET 180i

It is an efficient and easy-to-use entry-level device for TIG DC welding with HF ignition. The devices incorporate ESAB's DNA, which means a combination of high durability with an extremely compact design.

A light ergonomic handle, a carrying strap and long extension cords make the Rogue ET model ideal for a wide variety of applications. In all variants, the device is adapted to be powered by power generators with a capacity of> 7kW.

Rogue ET offers excellent arc characteristics for both TIG and MMA methods. For TIG welding, many advanced parameters can be adjusted, such as: gas pre-flow, start current, rise time, fall time, end current and post flow.

All functions can be set in two-step or four-step mode. In the case of MMA welding, the user has the option to adjust the parameters of the Hot Start or Arc Force function to his preferences or application.

All required adjustments can be made in no time via the simple and intuitive user interface.

PROPERTIES

• Excellent high frequency ignition in the case of TIG operation eliminates errors and provides excellent arc characteristics, which ensures smooth and stable operation.
• Simple operation - configuration of welding parameters is easy and intuitive.
• Rugged construction - protection class IP23S allows for operation both in the workshop and on the construction site.
• Advanced TIG adjustment of operating parameters for full cycle control in every application and pulsation function up to 500Hz, which provides excellent control of linear energy.
• The PFC technology stabilizes the arc and makes it resistant to power supply fluctuations, even when connected to extension cords up to 100m long (PRO version only).
• Optional remote adjustment of current settings using: TIG torch, foot pedal, handheld remote

PFC

PFC (Power Factor Correction) module - enables significant reduction of losses in industrial lines.

LEVEL OF SECURITY

IP defines the degree to which the device is resistant to the ingress of solid and water contaminants. IP 23S means that the device is adapted to work in closed rooms or on a construction site.

WORK CYCLE

The duty cycle is based on a 10-minute period. Duty cycle of 20% means that after 2 minutes of operation of the device, an 8-minute break is required. Duty cycle of 100% means that the device can work continuously without interruption.

MMA

A covered electrode method consisting of a metal core covered with a sheath. The device allows welding with all types of electrodes, e.g. basic, cellulose, rutile or acid.

ARC FORCE

Increasing or decreasing the length of the welding arc depending on the distance between the electrode and the material to be welded. It allows you to adjust the dynamics of the welding arc. Shortening the arc length is accompanied by an increase in the welding current, which stabilizes the arc.

HOT START

The purpose of this function is to prevent the electrode from sticking to the material and is a great help when striking the arc. It works when the arc is struck, causing the welding current to temporarily increase above the value set by the welder.

2T / 4T OPERATING MODE

• 2T - pressing the button in the handle of the handle turns on the ionizer and ignites the arc. Welding is carried out with the button pressed.
• 4T - pressing the button in the handle of the handle will turn on the ionizer and ignition of the arc, then release the button and start welding with the released button. Pressing the button again will stop welding

GAS PREFLOW TIME

The time from pressing the button in the handle of the handle and opening the gas valve until the arc is struck. Typically, it should be longer than 0.5 seconds to supply shielding gas to the exit of the torch nozzle to shield the welding start and the tungsten electrode.

GAS FLOW TIME

The time from extinguishing the arc to closing the gas valve to shield the solidifying weld pool from air and to cool the tungsten electrode. Too short a post-flow time may result in oxidation of the weld.

RISE TIME

The time taken for the welding current to rise from the starting current to the set welding current value.

DOWN SLOPE TIME

Time for the downslope of the welding current from the set value to zero or the value of the crater current.

INITIAL CURRENT

The current appearing in the circuit after pressing the button in the handle of the handle. The higher the starting current, the easier it is to strike the arc.

However, when welding thin sheets, too high a starting current can lead to burnout. In some welding modes, the current does not rise to heat the workpiece.

EASY TO USE, READABLE CONTROL PANEL

The easy-to-use control panel enables precise and smooth adjustment of parameters. The digital display shows the actual current during welding.

HF

The electric arc is ignited without contact between the tungsten electrode and the workpiece by means of the spark generated by a high-frequency device.

EASY TRANSPORT

Small dimensions and light structure make the device easy to take to any workplace. The devices are equipped with a strong handle that makes it easy to carry.

COOLING

The device has a fan cooling system, which significantly increases its efficiency.
