Sealey TIG160 TIG / MMA Inverter Welder

The Sealey TIG160 is a versatile dual-process inverter welder designed for professional TIG and MMA/ARC welding applications up to 160A. Built around advanced IGBT inverter technology with fan-cooled DC power supply, this compact unit delivers reliable performance for fabricators, mobile welders and maintenance engineers working with steel and stainless steel. Weighing just 6.1kg, this portable welder is ideal for on-site work where mobility matters. The pressed steel outer case features a powder coated finish for enhanced corrosion resistance in workshop environments, whilst the compact footprint makes it easy to transport between jobs or store in service vehicles. The TIG160 incorporates several features to improve weld quality and operational efficiency. Hot start technology aids arc initiation, whilst anti-stick functionality prevents electrodes from welding to the workpiece. A quick release switch on the torch provides precise gas control, reducing argon consumption during TIG work. The unit utilises the lift start method for MMA/ARC welding, delivering cleaner arc starts compared to conventional scratch start techniques. Thermal cut-out protection and forced air cooling safeguard the inverter components during extended use. With a 60% duty cycle at maximum 160A output for both TIG and MMA/ARC processes, this welder handles demanding applications whilst the machine cools for 40% of each 10-minute period. Supplied complete with TIG and MMA/ARC accessories, enabling immediate use across both welding processes.
