Fabricator EM 401i/501i

Fabricator are heavy duty inverter controlled power sources for MIG/MAG and MMA (Stick) welding. Built to withstand rugged use which makes it a perfect solution for industrial usage. Ideal for heavy industries using solid and flux-cored wires together with Fabricator Feed.

Highlights

  • Rugged and Reliable welding system for heavy application, 400 A or 500 A at 60% Duty Cycle.
  • Three variants, one 500 with integrated Cooling unit, and two 400 with and without cooling unit
  • Energy savings with high power factor, high efficiency and low idle power
  • Lower cost of operation. Delivers all the added benefits of an inverter technology at a similar price as a conventional transformer machine
  • The machine is built in with integrated wide and large wheels and cylinder support to facilitate moving around the workshop. Also includes two side cable handling supports.
  • Wide voltage tolerance for stable welding output
  • Variable inductance control for better arc performance
  • IP23 use anywhere, for field and workshop applications

Features & Benefits

Industrial Performance for All.

Fabricator’s inverter-based technology allows for better power efficiency, easier operation, and improved overall utility – so your next welding job is, well, easier. It’s designed for heavy-industrial MIG, flux cored, and stick applications, with welding output up to 500 A and 400 A at 60% duty cycle. Fabricator is also optimized for wire sizes from 0.8 – 1.6 mm and works with a range of gases. It even achieves high-quality welds with pure CO2 shielding gas.

Less Energy, More Savings.

Fabricator consumes less energy, so you save on power. But not just a little bit. In fact, with our high-efficiency inverter technology, we’re giving you 87% more energy efficiency. That translates into a savings of $750* U.S. each year. As a result, you can harness the power of inverter technology – all at a lower cost when compared to conventional transformers.

*Estimated for two shifts welding 350 A at 40% duty cycle compared to standard transformer technology.

Simple to Operate and Easy to Adjust.

We’ve built our Fabricator with only the settings and functions you truly need. This makes your welding job easier with a machine that is more intuitive. Operators can even change controls remotely from the wire feeder. It’s smooth, quiet, simple to use, and delivers minimal welding spatter in low or high parameters.

Grab & Go with Total Stability.

Fabricator is a fully mobile welding workstation. This means it navigates with ease around stationary workpieces and other equipment and tools in your shop. It’s also built with large, wide wheels for total stability. It even comes with crane-safe handles, a low-profile cylinder tray and chain-locking mechanism, and two cable holders. It’s designed with you in mind for complete mobility and stability.
