The Cebora Tri Star MIG1635/M is a new low cost, single phase 160A multi-process welding power source using inverter technology from Wilkinson Star, the Manchester based industrial equipment supplier and sole UK representative for Cebora welding equipment.

Tri Star is a multi purpose welder designed for MIG/MAG, MIG Brazing, MMA and DC TIG welding using either a 230V 50/60Hz power supply or a generator.

The low electrical input makes it ideal for a multitude of applications including general maintenance, automotive body repairs, machinery installation and on-site, including agricultural applications.

When MIG/MAG and TIG welding it is rated at 160A at 35% duty cycle at 40C, whilst for MMA welding it is rated 130A @ 35% duty cycle.

Weighing only 12.5kg and with its easy to grip carrying handle it is very portable.

Using applied technology and built-in synergic programs plus the two knob stepless electronic controls and LED display, it is easy to set up ready for welding.

For MIG/MAG welding, using a 5kg wire spool, the operator simply uses one knob to select the material thickness, wire diameter and type and the shielding gas to be used; if necessary he can fine tune using a second knob and the machine then selects the welding programme to be used, and the welder can start to weld.

Its versatility allows it to be used for welding mild steel, aluminium and stainless steel; when MMA welding, electrodes up to 3.25mm diameter can be used.

Optional equipment includes a power source only trolley, a power source and gas cylinder trolley, TIG welding torch with 4m cable and a two stage regulator as well as a welding accessories kit comprising MMA electrode welding torch with 5m cable, earth return lead, welding mask, chipping hammer and wire brush.

The package can be supplemented with a comprehensive range of MIG wires including flux cored wires and TIG welding wires as well as MMA electrodes available from Wilkinson Star.
