MIG/TIG/MMA WELDER - VIPER MULTI 185

Now with single pulse MIG, the VIPER MULTI 185 is the perfect multi-process machine for all those home repairs and hobby projects you've got planned.

Key Features
4.3" Colour LCD Interface
Change settings with ease with the intuitive controls and next-generation user interface.

Smart Fan
Smart Fan diminishes noise, saves power, helps reduce energy costs, and minimises the number of contaminants being pulled through the machine.

Power Factor Correction (PFC)
Get the most out of your machine. The PFC maximises the electrical efficiency of the machine and automatically compensates for any voltage fluctuations, so you get more output power and the internal components last longer.

Job Memory
The job memory function allows you to enter and store weld parameter settings. Weld parameters can be further adjusted and stored as required. A total of 10 Jobs can be memorised and stored for recall.

Generator Compatible
Going off the grid? The VIPER MULTI 185 can be connected to a generator, we recommend one with at least 10kVA.

IP21S Rating
Rated IP21S, so it’s protected from touch by fingers and objects greater than 12mm, and water spray from a vertical direction.

Foot Control Ready
Enjoy greater control and precision with our optional foot control accessory. This handy feature allows you to easily adjust your TIG amperage on the fly, without interrupting your torch movement.

MIG Features
Single Pulse MIG
Less spatter. Lower heat. Smoother results. Streamline your welds with the single pulse functions.
A single pulse weld alternates between a peak and base current, which works to minimise the amount of heat input without compromising on any of the penetration. The addition of a base current and reduction in heat means it's perfect for softer materials like aluminium. Pulse welding is also done by spray transfer, eliminating spatter and cutting your post-weld clean-up time.

MIG Smart-Set
Setting up for a weld has never been easier, just set your wire material and size, gas, and joint type and you’re ready to weld!

Complete MIG Weld Cycle Control
Get complete control over your MIG welds with a full set of adjustable parameters, such as pre- and post-gas flow, inductance, and burnback.

Spool Gun Ready
Make welding aluminium even easier. No need to change your existing setup. The spool gun lets you quickly switch over and get any job done with no downtime.

Adjustable Arc Length
Get absolute precision on your settings. The adjustable arc length allows you to increase or decrease the preselected voltage while in synergic and pulse MIG modes.

Burnback Adjustment
Stop your wire from ever fusing with your weld or your contact tips again. Tune your burnback control to suit how much wire you want to remain sticking out from your torch when you finish a weld.

Gas-Shielded & Gasless Wires
This machine supports both gas-shielded MIG and gasless MIG, meaning you can run mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium as well as flux-cored MIG wires.

Inductance Control
Change the frequency of your short circuit MIG welds with the Inductance settings, so you can choose your preferred arc characteristics.

Geared Wire Drive
This machine features a geared roller drive unit, providing consistent and smooth wire feed, and it helps when using longer MIG torches.

TIG Features
TIG Smart-Set
The easiest way to set up for a TIG weld, simply set your filler material, joint type, tungsten diameter, material thickness, and gas and you’re good to go!

High-Frequency TIG
Maximise your results from start to finish. A high-frequency torch can start an arc without contacting the workpiece, reducing the risk of contaminating the tungsten or the weld. It also means you get access to the entire TIG weld cycle, including pre- and post-gas and up and down slope parameters.

MMA Features
Hot Start
The Hot Start feature gives a boost of current at the beginning of your weld, stabilising your ignition and eliminating any issues with striking an arc, especially on difficult electrodes.

Arc Force
The Arc Force feature helps to keep the arc stabilised throughout the weld, by increasing or decreasing the peak current to compensate for your arc length, preventing the arc from cutting out or the electrode from sticking.

Anti Stick
The Anti Stick feature, which is always on, prevents your electrode from sticking to your workpiece. When the machine detects sticking, the current will drop significantly, so the electrode can be removed.
