Esab CADDY TIG 2200i ACDC AC / DC TIG Welding Machine, 220 Amp, 220V, Single Phase, Electrode preheating, 15kg

Caddy®Tig 2200i AC/DC
For the craftsmen and a wide range of repair and maintenance applications

The Caddy®is already a classic power source in the mobile welding equipment field. With the introduction of the Caddy®Tig 2200i AC/DC series and a full range of accessories, you will find the optimal solution for a wide range of TIG welding applications.

Offering true portability

• Not only is Caddy® Tig 2200i small and of low weight. Thanks to its intelligent, compact design it is easy to take along to different indoor and outdoor worksites and also to tuck away when not used, making it handy both in the workshop and on the move.
• Single-phase mains connection makes it easy to find an electricity supply for the unit, and it works equally well when powered by a portable generator. * 
• Thanks to the built-in PFC circuit the machine can operate with extra long mains cables, over 100 m, giving the welder a very large working radius.

Impact-resistant design

• Composite materials in combination with smart design solutions provide a durable and impact-resistant machine, adapted to rough conditions. 
• The control panel is recessed, which provides additional protection and durability. 
• Caddy® Tig 1500i/2200i has sturdy and impact-resistant cable connectors with OKC 50.

Improving the weld quality

• The TA34 version is designed to support and enhance the skills of the welder and enables excellent welding results to be achieved in a wide range of materials and thicknesses. The TA34 version comes with both adjustable slope up and slopes down.
• It also comes with MicroPulse functionality, making it easy to control the heat input and minimize the heat-affected zone.
• This is helpful, especially on thin sheets and high tense steels.
• Caddy® Tig 2200i provides true MMA capability with the same capacity and features as ESAB MMA machines of the same voltage range, including the features Hot start, arc force setting, Arc Plus II*, and additionally, polarity switch.
• To obtain full output, for use a 12 kva portable generator with automatic voltage regulation.
• Arc PlusII generates an intense yet smooth and stable arc that is easy to control.
• Smaller droplets are generated, the arc burns smoothly, and there is no need to pause at the edges when weaving.
• Arc Plus II offers even better welding characteristics, simplifies your work, and gives you better weld quality with less need for post-weld treatment.

Supporting the welder

• The machine has a true AC rating where the actual welding current is always equal to the set current.
• The control panel is easy to overview and has a digital display for accurate welding parameter setting, high control, and feedback.
• It is easy to understand and set, with or without gloves on.
• Caddy® Tig 2200i comes with a handy, ergonomic torch with a ball joint that decreases the stress on the welder ́s wrist and helps the welder access the material in confined spaces. 
• The 2200i version can also easily be (retro)-fitted with a water cooler.

Features

• Designed for quality TIG-welding in all types of material.
• Easy to use -all welding parameters presented in an easy-to-understand layout.
• QWave™-enables AC welding with high arc stability and low noise.
• AC frequency and balance control (AC/DC) -optimizes weld pool.
• Electrode preheating –excellent start and extended electrode lifetime (AC/DC)
• ESAB 2-program function -possibility to pre-program and change program during actual welding. (AC/DC)
• DC Pulsed TIG welding -easy control of heat input and the weld pool. (AC/DC)
• DC Micro Pulse –minimize heat affected zone, especially on thin sheets (AC/DC)
• ArcPlusTM II - better welding characteristics, simplifies your work, and gives you better weld quality with less after treatment.
• True MMA welding characteristics in AC and DC mode-Hot start, Arc force, and polarity switch (DC).
