General Description - Migatronic FOCUS STICK 160 E PFC Manuel D'instruction

FOCUS STICK 160E PFC is a monophased welding machine
based on the Power Mosfets technology. It has been
constructed especially for those applications where welding
jobs must be completed quickly and easily. Using the inverter
technology, MIGATRONIC has designed and produced a
compact welding machine able to weld with all types of
electrodes (not high-yield electrodes) at currents up to
160 amps.
The combination of low weight and compact design makes
the FOCUS STICK160E PFC extremely suitable for
installation work, field construction, emergency repairs, etc.
The electronics of the machine will keep the welding current
stable at the set level by automatically readjusting mains
voltage and load variations.
FOCUS STICK160E PFC is very easily operated since it is
only fitted with one knob for infinitely variable adjustment of
the welding current from 20-160 A.
The block diagram illustrates the principle of the machine.
The machine is equipped with the following fixed functions:
Hotstart:
This auxiliary function helps to establish the arc when MMA
welding starts. This is done by increasing the welding current
(when the electrode touches the workpiece) compared to the
set welding current. This function facilitates the ignition of the
electrode and results in quicker and better welding.
Arc control:
When arc and weld pool have been established, this function
will ensure that the arc is kept stable, and that the result will
be a more uniform welding.
Static characteristic
The static characteristic graph illustrates that the machine
performs up to 160A at 26V.

Pay attention to the fact that application of
extention cables reduces the maximum
performance of the machine. Also electrodes
with a higher working voltage than the specific
arc characteristic will reduce the maximum
welding current.
