Your new generation

MATE is here
Inverter technology
Portable with more power and control
The MagMate 180P offers infinite voltage and inductance control for optimum
control of welding parameters. That means welding is easier than ever with a
MagMate. Inverter technology also means this machine is smaller and even
more portable weighing only 20 kg.

MagMate 180P is designed as a general purpose MIG welder and is suitable

for a wide range of operations.

The new 180P is as robust and well made as ever. It’s a machine
that gets the job done, no fuss. The MagMate 180P is great
value for money and includes a surprising range of features
and benefits.
Features that deliver more benefits
Inverter technology
Delivers higher duty cycles at higher amperage
compared to conventional MIG power sources. The
Invertor technology gives you additional power allowing
infinite voltage control which is critical to the welding of
thin gauge material.
Euro torch connection
Allows easy connection and removal of the torch.
Infinite voltage control
Just like an automatic transmission on a car, the more
selections that are available will allow greater control
and a smoother running arc across the range.
Infinite inductance control
This is the first machine in the MagMate range to feature
inductance control that, combined with the infinite
voltage control, allows even greater fine tuning of
welding parameters.
Lightweight and portable
Just 20kg and more compact – easier to move.
Electronic wire sharpening
Provides better arc starting and reduces burn backs.
Quick release gas connector
Allows fast removal of the gas hose connection when
transporting.
Service and warranty
The entire MagMate range has been developed
with local expertise for local conditions. Plus, your
MagMate includes an 18 month warranty and is backed
by a national distribution network and excellent after
sales service.
Applications
Ideally suited for MIG welding of thinner sections (e.g.
panel steel). Performs exceptionally well on 0.6 – 0.9 mm
diameter wire. Suitable for use with steel, stainless steel,
and gasless flux core wire.
Ideal for panel beaters, exhaust fitters and air
conditioning ducting and any other sheet metal
applications.
