Up to 220 A, pulse MMA mode and convenient LED control in a compact housing.
The FORBY® 220EX PULSE PRO is a single-phase 230 V inverter welding machine for MMA, pulse MMA and Lift TIG DC welding. The welding current is adjustable from 10 to 220 A, and the 60% duty cycle at 220 A makes it suitable for a wide range of repair, installation and metal structure welding work.
Suitable for welding mild steel, stainless steel and alloy steel when electrodes and welding settings are selected to suit the material.
The machine uses IGBT inverter technology, which allows the welding current to be regulated electronically. The inverter design combines a compact housing, low weight and an output current of up to 220 A.
Smooth current adjustment and additional MMA functions let you adapt the arc to the electrode in use and to the specific task.
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) refers to electromagnetic compatibility. The EMC board fitted in this model is designed to reduce electromagnetic interference. It complements the machine's electronic system and helps ensure proper operation of the equipment in an electromagnetic environment.
Lift TIG mode is direct current (DC). The machine does not have an AC TIG mode, which is commonly used for TIG welding of aluminium.
In pulse MMA mode, the welding current alternates rhythmically between a higher welding current and a lower base current. During the higher current phase, the metal melts more intensively, while the base current phase reduces the energy input.
By selecting the appropriate base current and pulse frequency, the process can be adapted more precisely to the workpiece thickness, welding position and working pace.
The effect of pulse mode depends on the selected current, electrode, workpiece and welding technique. It is advisable to check the initial settings with a test weld.
The front panel features an LED display and a knob for selecting and adjusting parameters. A short press selects a parameter, and turning the knob changes its value.
The display shows the welding current and the settings of the selected function. Separate indicators help identify pulse mode, base current and frequency settings, and the overheating status.
At the start of welding, the current is briefly increased to make arc ignition easier. The function intensity is adjustable from 0 to 10 depending on the electrode used and the working conditions.
When the arc shortens, the function increases the current and helps reduce the likelihood of the electrode sticking. The 0-10 adjustment range lets you adapt the arc response to the welder's technique.
When the electrode sticks, the welding current is reduced so that the electrode can be separated from the workpiece more easily and its heating is limited.
The VRD function reduces the output voltage when not welding. In MMA mode, it can be switched on or off. This function adds protection but does not replace proper grounding, dry gloves and other welding safety measures.
The duty cycle indicates what portion of a 10-minute period you can weld at a specific current under rated test conditions. The data is given according to the machine's rating plate.
| Mode | 60% | 100% |
|---|---|---|
| MMA | 220 A | 156 A |
| Lift TIG | 220 A | 156 A |
60% at 220 A means 6 minutes of welding and 4 minutes of cooling in a 10-minute cycle.
100% at 156 A means continuous operation at this current under rated conditions. During operation, ensure free air circulation and follow the machine's operating requirements.

| Protection rating / insulation class | IP21S / H |
| Cooling | Air, fan-cooled |
| Machine dimensions | 330 × 130 × 200 mm |
| Net weight | 4.64 kg |
Weighing 4.64 kg, the machine is easy to move to another work site. It has a handle on top, and a carrying strap is included.
Place the machine on a stable surface. According to the manual, leave at least 50 cm of free space around it for air circulation.
ROBUST CONNECTORS DESIGNED FOR HIGHER LOADS
Large 35-50 type welding cable connectors ensure reliable contact and stable current transfer. Properly connected and locked connectors help reduce contact resistance, connector heating and energy losses at the connection points.
Secure connection of the electrode holder and ground cables. The 35-50 type + / - connectors on the front panel allow convenient cable connection and selection of the polarity required for the electrode in use. The cables are easy to disconnect when preparing the machine for transport or storage.
FORBY welding equipment focuses on quality, durability and ease of use, which is why even the compact FORBY® MMA 200EX PRO machine uses large 35-50 type cable connectors - a practical solution for everyday welding work.
TIG torch not included. Lift TIG welding additionally requires a compatible torch, argon supply, regulator and consumables.
Adjustable pulse, Hot Start and Arc Force help adapt the welding process to the specific job, while the LED display and low weight make everyday use easier.
