Victor Technologies has launched the Tweco Fabricator 141i 3-in-1 welder, a multi-process welder that runs off 115 V household power. Built to meet professional standards, the MIG, Stick and TIG performance of the Tweco Fabricator 141i is perfect for DIY and home hobby use, as well as other light duty welding projects in motorsports, auto repair, farm/ranch, metal art and maintenance applications. It offers 10 to 140 amps of power for MIG & Lift TIG welding and 90 amps for Stick welding.

Push button controls, LED displays and a Quick Start Guide enable first time welders to set up the unit and start welding in a very short time. An easy to use set-up chart inside the side panel guides users with helpful diagrams and welding parameter recommendations.

The Tweco Fabricator 141i uses advanced technology that provides many exceptional benefits compared to older conventional MIG-only welders:

• Multi-process welding output, allowing users to select among MIG, Stick, or TIG, based on the best process for a particular project or application.

• Easy-to-use features and excellent arc performance helps beginners learn to weld like a pro.

• Highly portable unit goes anywhere; it weighs just 32.2 lbs.

• Higher duty cycle, allows users to weld longer on thicker material.

The Tweco Fabricator 141i is a fully integrated system; it incorporates a built-in gas solenoid valve and wire feed system for MIG welding, and accepts 4” or 8” spools of wire. With a list price of $699 for the complete system solution and $849 for a complete system solution with a cart, the Tweco Fabricator 141i is priced about the same as MIG-only welders.

The Tweco Fabricator 141i is the first welding power source from Victor Technologies to carry the Tweco brand name with the black and yellow Tweco colours.

“The move reflects the company’s commitment as an innovative provider of specialty welding system solutions and the strong industrial heritage of the Tweco brand,” says David Wilton, vice president, global welding products, Victor Technologies.
