| Description: | Here at OXFORD WELDERS we have taken a totally different approach to things. We dont ever want to make unreliable machines with a short life! So we dont make inverters. We have developed our own unique solution, OXFORD HYBRID technology. (Transformer chopper technology). This technology is not totally new & some of the largest American manufacturers use similar designs in their most industrial machines. We think we are the first manufacturer to use this for medium sized machines. By working with Mitsubishi products we have achieved performance levels unthinkable a few years ago. If you look at the performance specs of our machines you will see why our products sell well & get great reviews. Our HYBRID machines give you the best possible welding performance, very low power consumption & importantly superb long term reliability & lifespan. Today inverter based machines are a popular choice due to good portability, reasonable pricing, good welding performance & low power consumption. However more & more customers are aware of the short lifespan of inverter machines. If you take any inverter welding machine on the market today you may get a few years lifespan if they are used in ideal conditions. In practice welding is never done in ideal conditions, this is one reason why inverter based machines often fail catastrophically within the first few years & sometimes within weeks or months, particuarly the low cost imports. The problem with inverter based machines is that the electronics have to be very complex with 1000's of parts fitted & multiple PCB's. |
