Semi-automatic welding machine FORBY® MIG 200ST PRO (200A - 60%) (synergic)

FORBY® MIG-200ST PRO - SYNERGIC, SETTING BY METAL THICKNESS

FORBY® MIG-200ST PRO is a versatile inverter welding machine that combines MIG/MAG, LIFT TIG and MMA welding processes in one housing. Synergic settings, a modern LCD display, a high duty cycle and a wide current range make it easy to achieve a quality weld both in a home workshop and in a professional environment.

The machine is ideal for garages, car services, metal structure fabrication and repair - from thin sheet metal to more massive parts.

Key advantages

• 3 in 1: MIG/MAG, LIFT TIG and MMA modes in one machine.
• Synergic control: the machine automatically selects optimal parameters according to the wire diameter and the selected current.
• High duty cycle: MIG and TIG - 60 % @ 200 A, MMA - 60 % @ 180 A.
• Modern LCD display: clearly shows current, voltage, wire feed and the selected mode.
• IGBT inverter technology: high efficiency, stable arc, lower weight and energy consumption.

What can be welded?

• Carbon steel - in MIG/MAG, MMA and TIG modes (structures, frames, gates, fences).
• Stainless steel - with stainless steel wire in MIG mode or LIFT TIG for clean, decorative welds.
• Aluminium alloys - in MIG mode with aluminium wire (1.0 mm recommended) and a Teflon liner.
• Cast iron and hard alloys - in MMA mode, using appropriate electrodes.
• Thin sheets and profiles - in LIFT TIG and MIG modes, when a clean weld and lower heat input are required.

MIG/MAG mode

• For everyday work with steel, 0.8 mm wire is usually sufficient.
• For thinner sheets, choose a lower current and shorter weld length to avoid burn-through.
• Hold the torch 10-15 mm from the workpiece and move evenly along the seam.

LIFT TIG mode

• Use high-purity (99.99 %) argon gas.
• Grind the tungsten electrode to a cone shape so that the arc is concentrated.
• Use a lower current at the start and end of the weld to prevent craters.

MMA mode

• Choose the electrode diameter according to metal thickness: 2.5 mm - for thinner structures, 3.2-4.0 mm - for thicker ones.
• Remember to clean rust and paint from the weld area - this improves arc stability and weld quality.

Designed for use with a 5 kg D200 welding wire spool. With the main wire holder removed, the machine is also compatible with a 1 kg D100 spool.

Easily accessible wire compartment - the wide opening chamber allows quick spool changes, convenient wire threading and maintenance.

Reliable two-roller wire feed mechanism - ensures stable and even wire feed and precise pressure adjustment.

Supplied with a 0.8 mm / 1.0 mm feed roller.

Compact and mobile - the machine is easy to carry and integrate into a welding cart.

Sturdy and durable construction - the powder-coated housing is more resistant to scratches, corrosion and intensive daily use.

Solid design without external protrusions - reduces the risk of accidental impacts when working in tight spaces and makes transport easier.

Ergonomically designed control panel - clearly arranged buttons, synergic control and a bright display allow quick changes to settings.

Protected electronics zones - electronic units are separated from wire and dust entry areas, making the machine more reliable in long-term operation.

Fan cooling and IP21S protection class - efficient cooling of the machine and protection against vertically falling water drops.

QUICK AND CONVENIENT GAS HOSE CONNECTION

1. The integrated quick gas coupling allows the gas hose to be connected or disconnected easily and quickly. This shortens the machine setup time and makes moving and transporting it easier.

2. A 3-metre pressure-resistant gas hose is included with a quick coupling on the machine side. The optimal hose length gives more freedom to conveniently position the welding machine and gas cylinder at the workplace.

STURDY CONNECTORS DESIGNED FOR HIGHER LOADS

Large 35-50 welding cable connectors ensure reliable contact and stable current transfer. They are designed for higher loads and help reduce connector heating and energy losses. Compared to budget-class machines, which more often use 10-25 connectors, 35-50 welding cable connectors provide an additional reliability reserve.

The standard EURO connector for the MIG torch combines welding current, gas, wire feed and control contacts in a single connection. The torch can be quickly connected, disconnected or easily replaced with another MIG torch, and the threaded locking ensures a secure connection during operation.

FORBY welding equipment focuses on quality, durability and ease of use, which is why even compact machines use higher-spec solutions such as large 35-50 cable connectors and a universal EURO connector for the MIG torch.
