It is particularly suited to welding with ferrous and ferrous-flux cored wires with diameters of 0.6-1.0mm diameter fed from 200mm diameter spools. It is said to be very easy to use due to the adaptive-welding-parameter control, where the user only needs to select the thickness of the sheet and pull the welding-gun trigger.
Minarcmig will automatically adjust to the correct welding parameters, while the MMG 20 welding gun is designed to help make the welding process smoother and more fluid. Minarcmig Adaptive 170 is supplied ready to weld, including a shoulder strap, welding gun and 3m-long cables. It weighs 9.8kg.
