Explanation of Technical Indices and Designations in PATON Welding Machine Names

To simplify the selection of welding equipment, PATON uses a system of abbreviations and numerical designations in model names. These indicate the type of configuration, design features, power supply type, and additional equipment capabilities.

Below is a detailed explanation of the main abbreviations and designations you may encounter in PATON welding machine names.

Configuration Technical Indices

WA (Without Accessories)
Configuration without accessories.
The welding machine is supplied without welding cables or torches. This option is ideal for users who already have the necessary accessories or wish to select them according to specific working requirements.

BW (Black Wolf)
Configuration with a Black Wolf brand torch.
The set includes a Black Wolf welding torch that offers an optimal balance between price and quality.

MT (MMA & TIG)
Configuration for MMA and TIG welding.
The set includes a TIG torch, an electrode holder cable, and a ground clamp cable.

WAM (Without Accessories + Mass)
Configuration without accessories, but with a ground clamp cable.

WM (Welding MMA)
Configuration for MMA welding in semi-automatic and MultiPRO multifunction machines.
The set includes only an electrode holder cable and a ground clamp cable, without a welding torch.

WK (Welding Kit)
Extended welding kit.
The set includes a welding machine with index W (support for liquid-cooled torches), a ground clamp cable, a welding trolley, and an автономous liquid cooling unit.

Technical Indices and Designations in Model Names

–5-2
The first digit indicates a wire holder for steel wire up to 5 kg (for a 200 mm spool).
The second digit indicates a two-roll wire feed mechanism.
Suitable for compact semi-automatic machines and standard welding tasks.

–15-2
The first digit indicates a wire holder for steel wire up to 15 kg (for a 300 mm spool).
The second digit indicates a two-roll wire feed mechanism.
Suitable for standard welding conditions and most typical tasks.

–15-4
The first digit indicates a wire holder for steel wire up to 15 kg (for a 300 mm spool).
The second digit indicates a four-roll wire feed mechanism.
Provides more stable and precise wire feeding, especially when working with long torches or stiff wires.

–400V
Three-phase power supply.
The machine is designed to operate from a 400 V three-phase power network.

–SF (Separate Feeder)
Separate wire feeder unit.
The wire feeder is designed as a separate module, increasing flexibility and convenience in industrial environments.

–W
Liquid-cooled torch support.
The machine supports operation with liquid-cooled torches, which is required for high currents and long-duty cycles.

–MAXwire
Reinforced wire feeding system.
The machine is equipped with a metal four-roll wire feed mechanism and a more powerful sealed motor. It ensures stable and precise feeding of solid and flux-cored wire even in demanding industrial conditions and when using long torches.
