Hobart Welding Products introduces the IronMan 230, a DC/CV, single-phase, MIG/FCAW welder that delivers a 30- to 250-amp output (60 percent at 175 amps), providing the versatility for a wide range of applications. The IronMan 230 replaces Hobart’s IronMan 210 and 250 by combining their features in a single unit suited for welding mild steel material ranging from 24 gauge to 1/2-in. The welder can also be optimized for aluminum welding by connecting Hobart’s optional DP-3545-20 spool gun.
Hobart Listens
In designing the IronMan 230, Hobart extensively surveyed users on how they would improve the IronMan line of MIG welders. This resulted is several new features incorporated into the IronMan 230, including a softer, “sweeter” arc and seven additional voltage taps for a total of 12 to improve arc starts and minimize weld clean up. In addition, a more robust cast aluminum two-roll wire drive system replaces the previous plastic drive system, and a patented hub design requires no tools to adjust for a variety of spool sizes (1, 2, 10 and 45 lbs.) and ensures perfect alignment of the spool and feed head.
Keep it Clean
Additional features include two cable hangers mounted on the unit’s side to keep the power cord, MIG gun cable, work lead and welding hood organized and out of the way, and an on-board storage compartment for contact tips and nozzles. A built-in running gear/cylinder rack is standard equipment, allowing operators to move the unit around the shop or garage with ease.
Hobart backs the IronMan 230 with its 5/3/1 warranty, which covers the transformer for five years, the switches, controls and valves for three years and the torch for one year.
