Explanation of Technical Indices and Designations in PATON Welding Machine Names

To simplify the selection of welding equipment, PATON uses a system of alphabetical and numerical designations in model names. These designations make it possible to quickly identify the machine series, technical specifications, power supply type, design features, and configuration.

Below is an explanation of the main indices and designations used in PATON welding machine names.

Example of Model Name Decoding

(a key element for quick understanding of specifications)

PATON ProMIG-270-15-4-400V-WAM

• ProMIG — machine series
• 270 — nominal welding current, A
• 15 — wire spool holder for steel wire up to 15 kg
• 4 — four-roll wire feed mechanism
• 400V — three-phase power supply, 400 V
• WAM — configuration type

This format allows users to quickly understand the key technical parameters of the machine directly from its model name.

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 required accessories or wish to select them according to their specific working needs.

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, making the machine fully ready for MMA and TIG operation immediately after connection.

WAM (Without Accessories + Mass)

Configuration without welding accessories, but with a ground clamp cable.
An optimal option for users who already have a welding torch or plan to purchase one separately according to their individual requirements.

WM (Welding MMA)

Configuration for MMA welding in semi-automatic and multifunctional MultiPRO machines.
The set includes only an electrode holder cable and a ground clamp cable, without a welding torch. This option is suitable for users who already own a torch or wish to select one individually.

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 autonomous liquid cooling unit.

Technical Indices and Designations in Model Names

–5-2

The first digit indicates a wire spool holder for steel wire up to 5 kg (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 spool holder for steel wire up to 15 kg (300 mm spool).
The second digit indicates a two-roll wire feed mechanism.
Suitable for professional welding and most typical tasks.

–15-4

The first digit indicates a wire spool holder for steel wire up to 15 kg (300 mm spool).
The second digit indicates a four-roll wire feed mechanism.
Provides more stable and precise wire feeding, especially when working with torches up to 5 m in length and when welding aluminium.

–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 welding 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.
Ensures stable wire feeding and reduces feeding interruptions, which improves arc stability and overall weld quality, even in demanding industrial environments and when using long torches.
