Arc welding equipment manufacturer Miller Electric Mfg. LLC has released the next generation of Trailblazer engine-driven welders. The new Trailblazer 330 machines are 86 pounds lighter and 13% smaller than previous models — and they provide lower fuel costs and reduced noise. They also deliver improved weld process and parameter control and output, which yield higher weld quality, more productivity and data visibility. The lighter machine coupled with improved features will generate efficiencies and productivity benefits, which are key in today’s landscape.

Trailblazer 330 engine-driven welders deliver superior weld process control and output. Operators can precisely dial in weld settings for exceptional results, thanks to a new digital user interface and easy-to-use controls. The machines offer up to 330 A at 31 V and 100% duty cycle, so operations can get highSource: Miller Electric Mfg. LLC deposition rates by running bigger-diameter, flux-cored wire and gouging thicker materials. Users also get more control with pulsed tungsten inert gas (TIG), while updated Dynamic DIG technology provides smooth, consistent stick arcs tailored to match applications, materials, fit-up and welder technique. Inductance adjustments deliver precise control for flux-cored wire applications.

The machines also include technologies that help reduce fuel costs and jobsite noise. Updated Auto-Speed technology automatically adjusts engine speed to match any load, so the engine never runs faster than necessary. Excel power delivers auxiliary AC power at fuel-saving, quieter idle speed, while wireless interface control (WIC) allows complete front panel operation from anywhere on the jobsite.
