The Pico 160 cel puls from EWM EWM AG has designed one of the lightest portable electrode welding machines currently available: the Pico 160 cel puls, weighing only 4.7kg. It can be used safely for vertical-down CEL welding and TIG pulse welding for the 230V lighting main. The latest addition to EWM’s Pico range has been optimised in several ways with the focus on welding results, universal usability and enhanced user-friendly operation as well as a high level of robustness.

It is not only the external features of the new Pico 160 cel puls that have improved. Hot start and an anti-stick function for sticking electrodes are all integrated as standard, providing support for all welding processes. The new pulse function also enables easy vertical-up and vertical-down welding without having to resort to the complex ‘Christmas tree’ technique. This makes work easier, especially in hard-to-reach areas or locations with poor visibility. The Pico demonstrates its strengths when welding electrodes up to 4mm and enables 100 per cent safe vertical- down welding when using cellulose electrodes. The Pico 160 cel puls is suitable for use in industry and in workshops, for both fast repairs and continuous operation.

The Pico 160 cel puls also features a new ergonomic design. With its stable, splash-proof housing made of plastic and aluminium and a transparent protective cap over the new control this is an option for many applications – construction sites, workshops and other assembly work. Another highlight is the simple operability of the welding machine. The new control’s easy-to-read display enables the welding parameters to be set precisely. This is an important prerequisite for simple reproducibility in order to ensure that consistent high-

quality welding results are achieved. EWM’s single-hand operation concept also enables the functions to be set using a single large button, which means users do not need to remove their gloves every time they need to change a setting. Other advantages are the remote control connection option and the large connection sockets (50mm 2 ), which enable the machine to be combined with standard electrode holders and standard TIG welding torches with rotary gas valves.
