Miller Maxstar® 280 DX TIG Welder With CPS 907539
Miller Maxstar® 280 DX TIG Welder with CPS (Cooler Power Supply) provides up to 280 amps of DC TIG arc and Stick arc welding output. At just 50 pounds, the Maxstar 280 DX can weld up to 3/8 inch steel, yet weight hundreds of pounds less than comparable welders in the same welding output class. The Maxstar 280 DX TIG welder provides advanced features for DC TIG or STICK welding applications. The 280 DX adds extended ranges to sequencer and full trigger options, preflow and increases pulser range to 500 PPS.

Features
Upgradeable and expandable.
Front panel memory card data
port provides the ability to easily
upgrade software and expand
product features.
Pro-Set™ feature (professional
settings)
eliminates the guesswork
when setting weld parameters.
Use Pro-Set when you want
the speed, convenience and
confidence of pre-set controls.
Simply select the feature and
adjust until Pro-Set appears on
the display. The Pro-Set feature is
available for Balance, Frequency,
Pulse, and DIG parameters.
Sleep timer
conserves electricity.
This programmable feature will
power down the machine if it sits
idle for a specific time.
Auto-Line™ provides state-of-the-art flexibility by automatically connecting to 208-575 VAC, single- or three- phase power without removing the covers to relink the power source. No longer is there a concern if you have the correct machine for the shop or the job site.
Cooler Power Supply (CPS). An
integrated 120-volt dedicated-use
receptacle to power the Coolmate™ 1.3.
The power switch on the Dynasty also
activates the receptacle to help prevent
torch failure.
Blue Lightning™
high-frequency arc
starter for non-contact arc initiation.
Provides more consistent arc starts and
greater reliability compared to traditional
HF arc starters. Easy to
set and increases
productivity
Meter calibration.
Digital meters can be calibrated to a
standard device for certification.
Wind Tunnel Technology™ protects internal electrical
components from airborne contaminates, extending the
product life.
Fan-On-Demand™ power source cooling system operates
only when needed, reducing noise, energy use and the
amount of contaminates pulled though the machine
Thermal Overload Protection -
Internal components are protected from damage by thermal overload protection which automatically shuts down the unit if duty cycle is exceeded or air flow and cooling are restricted.
Wireless remote compatible - fully compatible with Miller
wireless remote control solutions —
so you can work the way you want
DC TIG Features
Extended ranges to sequencer, full trigger options, and preflow functions.
DC Pulsed TIG standard
Exceptionally smooth and precise arc for welding exotic materials.
DC Stick Features
Tailored arc control (DIG)
allows the
arc characteristic to be changed for
specific applications and electrodes.
Smooth running 7018 or stiffer, more
penetrating 6010.
Hot Start™ adaptive control provides
positive arc starts without sticking.
Stick-Stuck detects if the electrode is
stuck to the part and turns the welding
output off to safely and easily remove
the electrode. Menu selectable.
