OPTIPULS 280i
The essential solution for a high quality MIG-MAG welding

As a powerful solution for MIG welding and brazing, this new MIG-MAG inverter technology installation products both smooth and pulsed current. It allows the use of all solid or flux cored wires (f 0.8-1.2 mm)  for the welding of non alloyed and stainless steels, and aluminium including aluminium bronze (Cupro Aluminium).

To meet the welders’ expectations for ease of operation, yet without compromising on weld quality and productivity, SAF (a company of the Air Liquide Welding group) has designed the OPTIPULS 280i.
Its weight and compact size make it very easy to transport. It’s a real advantage for assembling applications in workshops and worksites.
Thanks to its power and the SHORT ARC+  mode, OPTIPULS is the best equipment for applications on thin thickness fabrication, repair, thin boiler making, body working and automobile sub-contracting.

The SHORT ARC+ mode makes the  carbon steel welding easier: it allows faster welding speed, it allows very thin plates welding (less than 1 mm), it improves penetration shapes, and reduces weld spatters and plates deformation. The SEQUENCER mode gives a better aspect of beads on light alloys.

Equipped with a very simple front panel which allows an easy access to the welding parameters, OPTIPULS 280i is the easiest and most user friendly  MIG inverter installation of the market thanks to the OPTI’System which adapts each welding parameter to the most suitable condition for the application.

The 4 roll wire-feed unit DV 44i stows easily on top of the power supply. Its low weight and minimum overall dimensions allow to pass it through a manhole. It is also rugged and reliable (no on-board electronics).

A 230-400 V three phase multi-voltage solution is possible thanks to the POWER BOX.

With this new power source, SAF completes its OPTIPULS i range, divided into three power sources: 270A, 350A and 500A amperes and proposes an innovative solution which really improves productivity by raising the welders’ operating comfort and weld quality.
