Rating of the best semiautomatic welding machines on user reviews

Existing welders now differ in the type of their work. For example, for working with ferrous metals, you can use manual MMA welding. For aluminum alloys, the Pulse MIG and Double Pulse MIG modes are designed. Well, semiautomats of interest to us today use MIG / MAG welding, which consists in feeding a current to a filler wire located in an inert or active gas environment. With the help of our collection you will learn about the best welding semi-automatons available in Russian retail and collecting only positive reviews.

The best welding semi-automatic machines

Aurora OVERMAN 180

Relatively small welding machine, packed in a metal case in blue. The minimum number of all possible regulators allows you to prepare for work in the shortest possible time. You can only complain about a slightly inflated price tag.

Pluses:

• Wide range of welding current;
• The input voltage can be from 187 to 253 V;
• Operating voltage - from 16 to 22,5 V;
• Power is up to 4.7 kW;
• Far not the lowest efficiency( 80%);
• Degree of protection IP21;
• High build quality.

Disadvantages:

• High cost.

If you are going to be engaged in welding on a regular basis, and not once a year, then take a look at this model. In fact, it does not have serious shortcomings, if you forget about the high cost. Reviews on the Aurora OVERMAN 180 indicate that the device manages to weld any materials - from foil to 8 mm metal. The seam turns out to be perfect. In a word, this is the best aggregate of our entire collection!

Respaired SAIPA-135

This is one of the smallest welding inverters. Yes, and it weighs only 11 kg - about one and a half times less than many of its competitors. All this allows you to recommend it to non-professionals who are still trained in welding skills. The purchase of this device implies its use from time to time, for regular operation of its capacity may not be enough.

Advantages:

• Minimal set of settings;
• Small size and weight;
• Quality assembly;
• Welding current - from 20 to 110 A;
• Degree of protection IP21;
• Not very high cost.

Disadvantages:

• Not the largest operating voltage range( 17 to 23 V);
• Poor configuration;
• Short cable.

Reviews on Resanta SAIPA-135 show that this is the best device for a beginner. The device works well in the auto parts business. However, it should be taken into account that the power of the device is not high enough, in connection with which it does not lend itself to steel with a thickness of more than 6 mm. In short, the main advantage of this welding inverter is its ease of use and easy transportation.

Aurora OVERMAN 160

A simplified version of the previously reviewed welding inverter Aurora OVERMAN 180, close to the ideal rank. The creators of this model reduced the power and the maximum value of the welding current, at the same time reducing the price tag. At the same time, the device still knows how to boil metals up to 0.6 mm thick, just the speed of this process has slowed down somewhat. Advantages:

• Welding current varies from 40 to 160 A;
• The input voltage can be from 187 to 253 V;
• Power is 4 kW;
• Degree of protection IP21;
• Not a bad efficiency( 80%);

The best welding semi-automatic with the possibility of manual welding

Svarog EASY MIG 160 N213

Quite expensive machine. But its creators knowingly ask for a lot of money, because the device offers not only a semi-automatic, but also a manual welding mode. To please any professional must and very high power.

All in order at the welding inverter and with power characteristics.

FUBAG INMIG 200 PLUS

This model is even more different from budget semi-automatic devices. The fact is that it offers not only MIG / MAG and MMA modes, but also an argon-arc type of welding( TIG).At the same time, the maximum welding current depending on the mode is from 170 to 200 A. In the presence of the device and all sorts of modern "chips", like a hot start and antipicking.

Disadvantages:

• Very high cost.

This is one of the most expensive welding machines in our collection. The high price here is due not only to the support of several welding modes, but also to high power. All this allows you to prepare the device for any material, as well as to weld in the shortest possible time. Reviews for FUBAG INMIG 200 PLUS this is only confirmed. Still people like not the biggest size of the device, which greatly simplifies its transportation.

What kind of welding semi-automatic machine to buy

If it's a semi-automatic welding machine, then the device does not have to support only one mode of operation. If the device is purchased for professional use, then it is better to consider models with support for manual arc welding. Everyone knows that this method allows you to create a more even and reliable welding seam. And semi-automatic welding( MIG / MAG) is good because it is easy to learn.

When selecting a semi-automatic welding machine, be sure to pay attention to the mains supply to which you will connect it. The fact is that some machines require three-phase power. However, such models are rare, usually the traditional single-phase power supply with a voltage of about 220 V is used.

The speed of operation is influenced by the current and power. Be sure to specify these parameters before purchasing the device. And, on the strength of the current depends on what thickness of metal sheets you can weld. Finally, it is not superfluous to know about the duration of continuous operation - not all devices are capable of producing the maximum power for a long time.
