Welding Systems
The Millermatic 135 and Millermatic 175 all-in-one welding systems from Miller Electric offer a smooth, clean arc with little spatter and sufficient low-end welding performance on material as thin as 24-guage. To make these units easier for the occasional welder to use, the systems combine wire feed speed tracking and infinite voltage control. Infinite voltage control gives operators finer control of the voltage setting while wire feed speed tracking automatically increases or decreases wire feed speed as the voltage changes. This makes the units easier to tune in for the application and results in a broader sweet spot so that operators can resume welding without a lot of fine-tuning.
