About the ​Product

​ESAB Rebel has the ability to perform ​different types of welding processes that includes MIG, DC pulse TIG, DC TIG, Stick, Flux-Cored and ​AC TIG. It has the capability to run both on direct current and alternate current, so this welder can weld aluminum and titanium.
​The full function of AC TIG welding includes arc starts of high frequency, frequency control, and AC wave balance. This machine has an exceptional direct current TIG performance down up to 5 amperes.
For welding thin materials, this machine has the welding capabilities of pulsed TIG between 1 and 500 PPS (pulse per second). The Lift-Arc starts are made available when the welding is in DC TIG mode. The ESAB Rebel EMP 205ic operates on standard household 230 volt or 120-volt input power.
​The Rebel EMP 205ic weighs only 49 pounds. It is a light industrial and portable welding machine. It comes bundled with all the things you want to start MIG, a stick welding, or a TIG except shielding gas. The rebel’s advanced and welder inspired design is very apart from ​many other multi-process welding machines in the market.
This ESAB Rebel features an sMIG technology which has dynamic arc control and monitors typical arc characteristic that adapts to the technique and provides a smooth, superior weld. That means the smart MIG technology will automatically adjust to your changed technique on the fly.
The stable and smooth Stick welding arc is performed conveniently even on E7018 and E7018-1 electrodes which is difficult to weld. The Rebel has two modes, one basic and the other advanced. In the basic mode, you can set the wire diameter along with the material thickness and then you are ready to set the trigger.
Whereas in the advance mode you can have the total control above every arc characteristic. The technology and various research that goes into making this machine are really astounding. You can have access to your right consumable part number and owner’s manual on a 4.3-inches LCD screen display. You don’t even have to be an expert so as to operate this machine.
​It is a class product that delivers outstanding performance in every process in a convenient way.
