Rogue ET181i is a DC HF-start TIG and MMA welding machine built with the latest inverter technologies to guarantee an extremely stable welding arc, ideal for working on steel, stainless steel, brass, cast iron...
The electronic boards of the Rogue ET181i are protected by a special coating that insulates them from moisture and dust (IP23S protection). The body is very robust and the dimensions are compact in order to allow the operator to transport and use this welding machine in a workshop or on a job site even in adverse environmental conditions.
The Rogue ET181i can generate a maximum welding current of 180 A and has a duty cycle of 116 A at 60%; these characteristics make this welding machine ideal for installation, maintenance and light metalwork.
The control panel of the Rogue ET181i is easy to use and the convenient LCD screen allows the operator to accurately view the welding parameters. From the control panel, it is possible to modify the TIG welding parameters to adapt the process to the needs the operator must face: LIFT or HF trigger mode, pre and post gas, initial and final current, up and down slope, 2T or 4T.
If you use the Rogue ET181i in MMA mode for MMA welding (electrode holder optional), it is possible to select the percentage of Arc-Force and hot start that best suits the welder's operating style; furthermore, from the control panel, it is possible to select the welding mode for CELLULOSE-coated electrodes.
The Rogue ET 181i comes with:
- Instruction manual
- Shoulder strap for transport
- ESAB SR26 TIG torch 4 metres with a grey Cerium tungsten electrode Ø 2.4 mm)
- Ground cable 16mm2 cross-section - length 3 m
- Gas hose with quick connector
This machine replaces the ESAB ROGUE ET180i model and additionally features the PULSE function compared to that previous model.
The Pulse function of the Rogue allows welders to better control heat input and arc stability. The controlled pulse action helps create a stable arc, avoiding excessive spatter and minimizing the risk of weld defects or the need for post-weld cleaning. The Rogue's Pulse technology facilitates penetration and fusion in the welding process, which is essential for creating strong and durable weld beads and for ensuring the structural integrity of manufactured components. Pulse technology helps minimize the heat-affected zone, thereby reducing the likelihood of material distortion or unforeseen metallurgical changes.
