Proline MMA 160 is an IGBT-based inverter for MMA electrode welding, built for electrodes in the 1.6 - 4 mm range. Hot Start, Anti Stick and Arc Force are built in for stable striking and a steady arc.

The machine is fan-cooled and has thermal protection. At 4.0 kg it is easy to move between work sites.

Why welders choose the MMA 160 inverter

The MMA 160 inverter gives controlled striking and arc stability without manual setup of start functions. Hot Start eases striking, Anti Stick stops the electrode freezing to the workpiece and Arc Force keeps the arc stable at short arc length. Efficiency is 85% and open-circuit voltage 70 V.
