What’s New in Our New RAZOR ARC 160 & 200 PFC
June 19, 2023
Our next-generation STICK welders have taken all the best parts of the previous machines, including the PFC components, their ability to do Lift Arc DC TIG, and their portability, and improved on them. On top of all that, these machines now include several new features to further enhance your welding experience.
HD Backlit Interface
The most apparent change to this machine is the brand-new, upgraded interface. It now comes with a large HD backlit interface. The clear colour screen is bright and easy to read, so navigating the screen and settings is much easier, especially in dark work environments and low light conditions.
Advanced MMA Features
Our new RAZOR ARC 160 & 220 PFC now come with a range of advanced MMA features.
Hot Start
We’ve added an adjustable hot start designed to help with striking an arc. The hot start temporarily boosts the output current at the start, making striking an arc, even with difficult electrodes, much easier. You get smoother arc starts, improving the quality of your weld.
Arc Force
We’ve also added adjustable arc force, which adjusts the current (and, therefore, the heat) based on the length of the arc. When the arc becomes shorter, the current increases to keep it stable and stop the electrode from sticking. When the arc becomes longer, the current will decrease. The level of this response is what’s adjustable on the machine.
The adjustable arc force allows you to fine-tune your arc and improve your weld’s quality and consistency, especially in tight corners or when welding overhead or vertically.
Anti-Stick
The machine also now comes with built-in anti-stick, a feature that’s designed to keep you from ever sticking an electrode again, whether you’re at the start of a weld, halfway through or about to end one.
When the machine detects that the electrode is sticking, the current will shut off and unstick it.
Smart Fan
We’ve introduced an improved cooling system in these machines, and the new smart fan only turns on when the machine needs it, diminishing the noise in your work environment. It also reduces the number of contaminants and dust that get pulled into these machines, increasing the reliability and durability of them.
10A Plug
These machines come with PFC components, so now they both come with a 10 amp plug. Even the RAZOR ARC 200 PFC, thanks to its internals, is capable of outputting the same 200 amps as the previous model on a smaller plug. Now more portable than ever, you can run these machines on any domestic outlet, meaning you can use them just about anywhere.
