Lightning MTS 225 - Heavy-Duty MIG/TIG/Stick Welder

Lightning MTS 225

The Lightning MTS 225, part of the heavy-duty MIG/TIG/Stick series, features AC/DC TIG welding capability and introduces the new "Power Set" function for all three welding modes. This 225A unit excels in performance, offering auto-set parameters that adjust amps and volts (where applicable) for MIG, TIG, and Stick welding. The new design allows easy viewing and adjustment of settings, reducing the need for excessive scrolling.

In addition, the Lightning MTS 225 includes a Flux-Core mode for self-shielding wire and is capable of operating on 120V, though with reduced output. At full power, the unit offers a 35% duty cycle for TIG, 60% for Stick at 160A, and 25% at 225A for MIG. When welding at 200A, the MIG duty cycle is 35%, suitable for materials up to 1/4" thick.

For enhanced portability, the Lightning MTS 225 can be paired with the PowerCart 250 and PowerCool W300 for a stacked setup, and water-cooled torch options are available when using the cooler.

Features:

• Exclusive!  MIG, AC/DC Pulse TIG, and Stick design.
• New! Power-Set function features synergic function of all processes.
• High Frequency and Lift Start AC and DC TIG modes for a true "all in one" design
• Digitally controlled operation in all modes improve control and dependability.
• Operator friendly panel without complicated hidden menus or adjustments with grouped controls.
• Manual Override of PowerSet function allows the user to adjust items like pre-flow/post-post flow/slope etc.
• Weld Aluminum, Stainless, or Steel with the MIG function with wire diameter from .023- .030" (additional driver roll sizes and types available up to .045" as option).
• Save up to 16 different programs with memory function that provides easy saving and recall of your favorite settings.
• Synergic Spool gun operation capability with optional spool gun. Ideal for welding aluminum.
• TIG torch and Foot pedal included for TIG. Regulator included. 
• Built in gas solenoid and connections for TIG eliminates need for gas valve torch used by competitors
• True DC CC/CV Multi-Process design eliminates needing or carrying multiple units for one job.
• AC capability on TIG allows user to weld aluminum. Industry first for this type design.
• Pulse TIG capability increases control and weld quality.
• Compact and light weight design makes the unit extremely portable, ideal for on-site fabrication.
• Adjustable Burn-back control keeps the wire energized after wire has stopped feeding to allow the wire to melt back to a desired length without retrimming wire before restarts.
•  8"  Diameter wire spool capacity maintains portability while maintaining productivity.
• Adjustable MIG Wave arc force control manages slope/ inductance and fine tunes arc characteristics.
• Adjustable stick Arc Force and New Hot Start controls allows the user to dial in desired Stick welding performance.
• TIG Up and Down slope allows the user to control the end of the welding cycle.
• 2T/4T torch trigger/latch function offers stepped control welding with TIG and MIG.
• Adjustable Pre and Post flow for TIG and MIG operation improves over all weld quality.
• 225 Amps of MIG and TIG power offer more than enough power to get the job done. 160 amps of stick welding power can be used with up to 1/8" welding rods.
• Dual Voltage design will operate on 120V or 240V.  Output on 120V is limited to 125 amps MIG/TIG/ 100 amps Stick.
