Weighing only 21.4 lb., the Striker 160 machine is a small, compact, dual voltage (115 or 230V) single-phase inverter unit with digital readouts that automatically identifies the power grid voltage and operates accordingly.
The Striker 160 machine features power factor corrector (PFC), which increases power efficiency, reduces input power requirements, and stabilizes the welding current, maximizing efficiency on extension cords and generators. As a safety precaution, it has a voltage reduction device (VDR) that reduces the voltage across the outputs when idling. Designed to work with a wide range of input voltages, from 98 to 265V, the Striker 160 is ideal for use with generators.
The Striker 160 unit offers direct current welding using coated electrodes of diameters from 1/16 to 5/32 in. It is 6010 electrode capable. A hot start function provides easy ignition of the weld arc, while arc force prevents the electrode from sticking to the workpiece. A power-saving smart fan feature reduces dust and improves the life of the fan.
The Striker 160 model comes ready to stick weld with a 230 to 115V adaptor, electrode holder, ground clamp, and cables. An optional TIG torch with a 12-ft cable can be purchased separately, as well as a flow gauge regulator and gas hose.
