FINALLY, A SIMPLE TO USE, MODULAR SYSTEM WITH SERIOUS VERSATILITY!

DESIGNED, DEVELOPED & TESTED IN AUSTRALIA
The new BlueVenomXF353 is a 3-in-1 multi-process welding inverter that has been specifically engineered to be narrower in size for easy access in tight and constrained areas but also as a modular arc station!
As a compact unit you will have access to XtraFunctions that allows the machine to be used for standard MIG / STICK / TIG DC-Lift processes, or as a Synergic MIG with Plate Thickness Selection as standard.
SERIOUS VERSATILITY
The BlueVenom XF353 delivers a maximum output of 350Amps DC in MIG and TIG Modes, which means the machine is capable of welding metals from 1.0mm up to 16mm. In STICK mode the machine is capable of welding metals from 1.6mm up to 25mm in thickness.
EASY TO SET FOR PROFESSIONAL RESULTS
To take it a step further, the XF353 can connect to the All-New 4R-Rover remote wirefeed system (sold separately) - a plug n' play, 4 Roll wire drive unit that you can setup where you need it. Need it on a gantry or boom? No problem, with the 8m interconnection cable and in-built hanging mount, you can! PLUS, its designed specifically with a low mount handle making this little gem as compact a 300mm wire spool system can be!
Here's the kicker - want Pulse? Of course you do! Turn your XF353 arc station into a single and double pulse work horse! Simply plug in the hand-held PulseMate pendant (sold separately) equipped with 8m of lead into the XF353 machine or 4R-Rover and start getting TIG like looking welds through our simple yet intuitive SimplePulse MIG system!
