MagicWeld, available from Wilkinson Star, is a new MOSA petrol driven, portable, air cooled, MMA welder generator for use in the construction industry.

Wilkinson Star, the Worsley, Manchester based industrial equipment supplier and sole UK representative for MOSA engine driven welding and generating sets has launched a new MOSA petrol driven, portable, air cooled, MMA welder generator - MagicWeld MagicWeld is designed specifically for use in agriculture, construction, rail, shipbuilding and general maintenance industries, in fact anywhere on-site and is especially suited for the hire market.

It already has Network Rail certification meeting their technical and safety criteria for use on rail maintenance and other engineering work.

It weighs only 34kg and is rated 150Amp @ 60% duty cycle.

The chopped DC Output is a feature that allows it to produce high quality smooth welding characteristics using most electrodes including cellulosic.

Other features include infinitely variable adjustment of the welding current providing optimum arc control, 110V CTE 1.5Kw auxiliary DC power output for use with fixed speed power tools and other ancillary equipment, including lighting.

Auto Idle automatically reduces the engine speed to idle after 20 seconds inactivity, whilst the noise level is 74dB(A) conforming to EC levels of 99LWA @ 7 meters.

Options, which also have Network Rail certification, include welding cables, an inline digital welding amp and volt meter allowing verification of the welding output at the point of use; a PAR600-RW parallel welding control box to connect two MagicWeld together for a higher welding output and a heavy duty 300A Semi automatic wire feed unit for MIG welding, whilst a wheeled trolley will be available from September 2006.

Other MOSA welding equipment from Wilkinson Star, which have Network Rail certification, include the TS200-RW 200A petrol driven, air cooled welder generator and TS300-RW 300A diesel, powered air cooled, welder generator.
