APPLETON, Wis., February 24, 2009 Miller Electric Mfg. Co. today announced that it will be presenting two new Millermatic all-in-one MIG welders and two new Spectrum plasma cutters in the Miller booth, #4013, at the WESTEC 2009 Exposition taking place at the Los Angeles Convention Center, March 30 through April 2. The Millermatic 211 Auto-Set with MVP and Millermatic 212 Auto-Set all-in-one MIG welders and the Spectrum 625 X-TREME and Spectrum 875 plasma cutters have been added to the previously announced lineup, which includes the new PipeWorx Welding System and the Dynasty 200 AC/DC TIG/Stick welder.

Millers Spectrum 875 plasma cutter is the most powerful, most compact plasma cutter in its class. Weighing only 52 lbs., the 60-amp plasma cutter can cut 7/8-in. mild steel at 10 inches per minute. Automatic air regulation automatically adjusts torch air pressure for optimum cutting and gouging performance. Auto-Refire technology eliminates retriggering when cutting fences, grates and other expanded metal material and LVC, Line Voltage Compensation, provides rock-steady output even with +/-10 percent fluctuations in input power.

Millers new Millermatic 212 Auto-Set all-in-one MIG welder combines the proven performance of the Millermatic 212 with the popular Auto-Set feature, which automatically sets the optimal parameters based on metal thickness and wire diameter. This new Millermatic also is equipped with infinite voltage control for better manual fine-tuning of weld parameters for all materials. This new Millermatic also features Millers Line Voltage Compensation (LVC) to keep output constant even if input voltage varies by +/- 10 percent. (To download a high-resolution photo, click here.)

Millers Millermatic 211 Auto-Set with MVP packs a class-leading 3/8-in.-thick welding capacity into a highly portable case. Featuring Auto-Set to eliminate the need to set voltage and wire feed speed, and MVP (Multi-Voltage Plug) for quick and tool-less changeover between 120 and 230 V input power, this unit is ideal for welding in maintenance, farm, home, hobbyist and personal-use applications.

Millers 40-amp Spectrum 625 X-TREME plasma cutter packs a 5/8-in. cut rating into a 21-lb. package, making it light enough to be carried by its shoulder strap and small enough to be easily packed away for transport or storage. Automatic Air Regulation automatically adjusts torch air pressure for optimum cutting and gouging performance and Auto-Refire eliminates retriggering when cutting fences, grates and other expanded metal. In addition, Millers Line Voltage Compensation provides rock-steady output even with fluctuations in input power. (To download a high-resolution photo, click here.)
