FEATURES BENEFITS
Accu-Set is an exclusive design for accurately controlling amperage or heat output. As you turn the Accu-Set
control,
the indicator more clearly shows the amperage setting.
The precise control of the STICKMATE LX 235 AC/160 DC allows the operator to adjust output by as little as 1-amp
increments. Users can always get the exact heat they need, unlike the step control design on competitive products.
Allows you to quickly select AC, DCEP or DCEN without adjusting the output leads.
100 amps AC/65 amps DC
Up to 150 amps available at 20% duty cycle. The STICKMATE LX 235 AC/160 DC model has 20% more DC output
than competitive products.
With two AC ranges to select from, you have greater control of weld performance.
Varnish protects and lengthens the life of the coils inside for increased reliability.
The cooling fan runs continuously and helps to extend the life of the power source.
Five-year warranty on transformers, stabilizers and generators; three years on electronics (drive motors, rectifiers);
and one year on guns (MIG and plasma torches).

obart’s STICKMATE LX 235 AC/160 DC power
source lets you choose between AC or DC weld
output to expand your welding options to either AC
or DC Stick electrodes. DC output means fewer arc
outages, less sticking, less spatter, better control
on thin work, and easier out-of-position welding.
AC output produces less arc blow and easier starts.
The Accu-Set
(patented) design, provides accurate
heat control with infinite amperage control. Additionally,
STICKMATE LX allows a higher duty cycle when
amperage decreases, unlike some competitive
products in the market.
