Lincoln Electric introduces the POWER MIG 256 to its line of POWER MIG Professional’s Choice welders, replacing the previous POWER MIG 255XT model. The updated model sets the standard for MIG (GMAW) and flux-cored (FCAW) welding in light industrial job shop fabrication, maintenance applications and repair work.
Features include:
• Lincoln Electric’s patented Diamond Core Technology delivers a smooth arc;
• Voltage output and wire-feed-speed displayed on digital meters;
• New Magnum PRO 250L gun and 15 ft. cable; and
• Convenient Coil Claw system for workstation organization.
The POWER MIG 256 is rated 250 amps/ 26 volts at 40 percent duty cycle. Its internal MAXTRAC wire drive features a wire feed speed range of 50-700 ipm (1.3-17.7 m/min). The 208/230V input voltage model includes a 115V auxiliary receptacle for powering grinders, lights and other tools in the work area.
This new POWER MIG model is designed around Lincoln Electric’s patented Diamond Core Technology, which delivers a forgiving arc with excellent out-of-position arc stability, low spatter and a wide voltage range at a given wire-feed-speed. During set-up, digital meters display pre-set voltage and wire feed speed. During welding, actual voltage is displayed.
Shipped with a new Magnum PRO 250L gun for mild steel, stainless steel or aluminum welding, this wire welder is spool gun-ready. Users can add a premium Magnum 250LX spool gun for enhanced aluminum feeding performance.
The POWER MIG 256 also comes with a Convenient Coil Claw Cable Management System and a top-mounted gun expendables parts tray to aid workstation organization.
This wire welder is capable of:
• MIG and flux-cored welding applications;
• Driving and regulating wire-feed-speed with a MAXTRAC drive system; and
• Powering tools or lights with a 115V auxiliary receptacle.
The welder’s MAXTRAC cast aluminum industrial wire drive system features dual-driven rolls for positive traction and regulated wire-feed-speed control. Its patented 100 percent wire supporting split wire guide system ensures optimal wire alignment and brass-to-brass gun connections provide improved electrical contact.
