STICKMATE® 205 AC

AC Stick (SMAW) Arc Welding Power Source

216 440

Oct. 2003

PROCESSES

Stick (SMAW) Welding

The STICKMATE® 205 AC Stick welding power sources have the control to get the exact heat

you need — always. Also, these machines allow weld time to increase when amperage decreases.

They have the range and muscle to handle many Stick welding, hard surfacing, and cutting jobs. At the same time, they have the precision for low hydrogen and special alloy electrodes. Recommended for a variety of electrodes 1/16 – 5/32 in diameter.

The patented Accu-Setdesign provides accurate heat control with infinite amperage control. Additionally, the STICKMATE allows a higher duty cycle when amperage decreases, unlike some competitive products in the market.
