red dot award: product design 2006

The aim of the MinarcMig Adaptive 180 was to design a welding machine that would be exceptionally easy to use. Traditional MIG welding machines have cumbersome controls that require a lot of trial-and-error to learn. With the new adaptive control of the MinarcMig, the user simply selects the material to be welded - iron, stainless steel or aluminium and the thickness of the sheets to be joined. The LCD user interface displays the settings selected also as visual feedback so that the user understands how they affect the end result. The light and compact design and the easy-to-use interface make the MinarcMig suitable for both the professional and hobby user.
