ESAB Rebel EMP 235ic Multiprocess Welder
The Rebel EMP 235ic is a dual-voltage multiprocess welder for MIG, TIG and stick work, with a maximum output of 250 A. MIG operation covers short-arc and spray transfer as well as cored wire, and sMIG adaptive control narrows setup to wire diameter and plate thickness. The unit is DC only, so aluminum cannot be TIG welded.
Input is 120 V or 208/230 V single-phase, giving a current range of 5-150 A on 120 V and 5-250 A on 230 V. Wire feed speed is 60-700 ipm, spools of 4, 8 or 12 in. fit, and the machine supports cored wire to .052 in. (1.4 mm). TIG filler rods are limited to 3/16 in. (5.0 mm), and stick electrodes top out at 5/32 in. (4.0 mm).
A four-handle roll cage frames the unit, and the lead cord length is 10 ft (3 m). The 230 V supply plug is NEMA 6-50P, the protection class is IP23S, and the listed approvals are CSA E60974-1-00, IEC 60974-1 and UL60974-1.
