Millermatic 255 Auto - Miller

Specifications

The Millermatic 255 Auto (Model Number: 951821) is a robust MIG and Pulsed MIG welding system engineered for demanding applications. It weighs 297 lbs with running gear (machine only: 84 lbs) and measures 48 x 40 x 39 inches, including running gear. The system operates on Auto-Line™ 208–240 V single-phase input power, ensuring reliable performance across various job settings. It delivers a rated output of 230 A at 25.5 V with a 60% duty cycle and offers an amperage range of 20–350 A. This welder supports wire feed speeds from 50–800 IPM and accommodates 12-inch wire spools. It is compatible with various wire diameters including aluminum (0.035"–0.047"), stainless steel (0.023"–0.045"), solid steel (0.023"–0.045"), flux-cored (0.030"–0.045"), and silicon bronze (0.030"–0.035"). The Millermatic 255 Auto is also generator compatible, requiring a 12,000-watt (12 kW) output or higher for full performance.

Key Features

• Auto-Set™ Elite Technology: This feature provides predefined weld settings, simplifying machine setup and parameter selection based on wire and gas type, wire diameter, and material thickness. Operators can fine-tune settings as needed.
• Pulsed MIG Capability: Delivering higher quality welds with lower heat input, Pulsed MIG minimizes spatter and distortion on thin materials, improving puddle control for out-of-position welds.
• 7-inch Color LCD Display: An intuitive, easy-to-understand interface ensures proper machine setup and parameter selection, featuring large text and quick-access backlit buttons for Auto-Set and Pulse modes.
• Auto-Line™ Technology: This inverter power supply allows for seamless hookup to any single-phase input voltage (208–240 V) without manual linking, ensuring consistent performance even with dirty or unreliable power.
• EZ-Latch™ Running Gear: The optional running gear package features latches to secure the machine, allowing for quick detachment for enhanced portability and easy transport. It also includes an elevated gun and cable rack.
• Program Mode: Users can save and recall up to five favorite weld settings, promoting consistent quality and reducing setup time for repetitive tasks.
• MDX™-250 MIG Gun with AccuLock™ S Consumables: This gun system ensures a smooth, consistent wire feeding path and enhances welder comfort with an ergonomic design.
• Fast Tack Welding Mode: Reduces run-in delay during tack welding for increased productivity.
• Crater Mode: Helps achieve smooth, finished welds by filling the crater at the end of a weld.
• Auto-Gun Detect™: Automatically adjusts voltage, wire speed, and timers for faster, seamless switching between MIG, push-pull, and spool guns.
• USB Port: Allows for future parameter updates and job loading.
