MobiARC: Compact. Efficient. Portable!

The welding units are based on a safe and state-of-the-art inverter technology. They offer outstanding welding characteristics and a low weight. The units are designed to operate in workshops, installation companies, on site, etc.

  • Inverter power sources: small, light, portable – perfect for on-site-work.
  • Continuous adjustment of the welding current.
  • Digital display for all parameters. *
  • Socket for remote control. *
  • Polarity change at the remote control with MobiARC 282 cel± and E 420 DC (option).
  • For vertical-down weld and welding of cellulose electrodes. *
  • Arc force: Increasing of the welding current in
    order to avoid adherence of the electrode. *
  • Hotstart function: Increasing of the start current to assure a safe ignition. The hotstart current and time are adjustable. *
  • Anti Stick function: In case of adherence of the electrode,
    the current is switched off immediately. Re-ignition after separation is only possible with a short delay. *
  • TIG welding with LiftTIG ignition.
  • S-symbol: approved for welding in confined areas.

Merkle hand remote control

The Merkle hand remote control has been developed to achieve an optimum adjustment of the welding current when the machine is positioned far from the working area.

  • Solid, robust housing.
  • Dust and water proof.
  • Big knop, easy to use even with welding gloves.
  • Magnet holder on rear side for easy positioning of the remote control.
  • Switch for polarity change (MobiARC 282 cel +).

BiPowerPLUS

The times of having to consider which machine to connect to which plug socket are now over! The new BiPowerPLUS option available for our MobiARC 282 cel opens new areas of flexibility for welding. In the workshop with 400 V three phase, or on the job site with 230 V, you are prepared wherever you find yourself. The new BipowerPLUS makes it possible!

The benefits:

  • Practical adapter offers the best flexibility
  • Connection with 230 V single phase or 400 V three phase
