Resanta SAIPA 165: description, technical characteristics

Technologies for performing welding work have undergone significant changes in recent years. If in the past the welding machines used were carried out on transformers, therefore they were bulky in size and difficult to operate, but the advent of semi-automatic welding inverters has made it possible to significantly simplify the work with metal, while such compact units are offered at affordable prices. Inexpensive semi-automatic inverters from the manufacturer Resanta, which combine ease of use and excellent welding quality, are popular on the domestic market.

The manufacturer of welding machines, the Resanta company, is a well-known Latvian company on the Russian market, which uses the latest technological advances in its products and, thanks to the excellent quality of inverters, is able to compete even with the world's leading brands. Domestic buyers love Resanta devices for their ease of use, attractive prices, ease of maintenance, reliability and durability.

Description of the welding inverter SAIPA 165

The semi-automatic welding machine Resanta 165 belongs to the class of household single-phase devices that operate on direct current and ensure high-quality joining of metals. Resanta SAIPA 165 can be used with both electrodes and active wire, which greatly simplifies welding. At the same time, regardless of the type of metal being welded, a high-quality connection is ensured, and the weld has additional protection against corrosion.

SAIPA 165 is capable of working with electric current of varying power, which allows you to simultaneously work with thick workpieces of refractory metals, and weld aluminum or other thin metal, which requires minimal electric current power to work with.

Resanta SAIPA 165 was originally designed for use by ordinary homeowners. This device is extremely easy to use , and to turn it on you just need to press the corresponding button on the handle, after which the welding wire will be automatically fed to the welding site. In this case, it is possible to adjust the wire feed speed, the thickness of which can vary significantly, depending on the operating current and the metal parts being welded.

Auxiliary equipment

Due to the fact that the welding kit comes with quite a few consumables, as well as personal protective equipment, the user will have to spend money on various additional materials after purchase. A wide range of additional equipment can be found on the market. One of the elements is welding wire of various diameters; if possible, it is also necessary to purchase welding electrodes.

You will also have to purchase a gas cylinder. A brush for cleaning various surfaces will be useful, and for a normal gas supply you need to take a pressure reducer. In the Resanta 165 inverter semi-automatic machine, the pulse feeder often fails, which you will also have to buy or repair yourself.

Technical characteristics of the device

Resanta SAIPA 165 can be used for operation in a gas environment without additional gas supply. The popularity of this model of welding inverters among domestic buyers is explained by the excellent performance characteristics of this device.

  • The current strength can vary in the range of 20–160 amperes.
  • The permissible diameter of the wire used is 0.62 millimeters.
  • The weight of the device is 11.5 kilograms.
  • Permissible voltage deviations from the nominal value are from minus 30% to plus 10%.
  • The rated voltage in the electrical network is 220 volts.

The semi-automatic machine SAIPA 165 is intended for spot welding, so we do not recommend using such equipment when performing large volumes of work. If welded correctly, Resanta SAIPA 165 will provide a strong and neat seam , and the metal at the joint will be perfectly protected from corrosion. It is only necessary to compare the characteristics of the operating current with the parameters of the wire, select the correct thickness and feed speed, which will guarantee a high-quality welded joint.

Safety requirements

To protect yourself from the bright flame of a torch, it is recommended to protect your eyes with special glasses with tinted lenses or welding masks. You should wear canvas gloves on your hands, which do not allow heat to pass through and protect your palms.

It is necessary to place a fire extinguisher in the place where you work with the welding machine and teach all workers how to use it.

Be sure to provide primary fire extinguishing equipment. Shovels, buckets and a box of sand must be present.

Such means will help you hold on for some time until the arrival of fire specialists. It is necessary that all workers know the fire and ambulance telephone numbers and can clearly state the address where welding work is carried out.

If these initial requirements are met, it will prevent fires and help, in extreme cases, save lives.

Review: I purchased a Resanta Saip 165 welding machine three years ago. In the second year the resistor failed, I replaced it and the device came back to life and is working to this day. I cook a lot, the work is demanding, the seam quality is good, no complaints.

Novel

Feedback: I used to work on a transformer machine, but after moving to a new job I started working on a semi-automatic machine. All equipment at this company is new, semi-automatic by Resant Saip. Compared to the old work, there are no words for how good everything is. I’m not a young person, I don’t keep up with new products, so when I started working, I didn’t even immediately believe that it was such a relief for welders.

Oleg Viktorovich

Review: I had problems with wire feeding; I just couldn’t set the desired wire feed. Resanta is a good model , the price, of course, is also considerable, but the convenience is obvious, there are many good changes after the old bulky units.

If we talk about the features of this model of welding machine, we note its ergonomic design. Numerous adjustments and settings of parameters for both wire feed speed and current strength, which allow you to select the optimal welding mode, regardless of the characteristics of the metal elements being processed.

The SAIPA 165 inverter is made in a durable metal case and has protection class IP 21. This model is intended primarily for welding work indoors, but it is not recommended to use such equipment outdoors with high humidity , since the use of the welding machine in such conditions will be unsafe.

The welding wire feeding mechanism is reliable and simple in design, so every ordinary homeowner can handle the correct preparation of the device for work. The feed speed of the wire used is adjusted using the appropriate toggle switch, and in the instructions for the inverter you can find all the information you need regarding the current strength, the diameter of the wire and the speed of its feed into the weld pool.

On the front panel of the inverter there are special connecting terminals that firmly and quickly fix the welding wires, eliminating loss of current, which ensures high-quality welding of metal products. This device is made using IGBT technology, which implies fully electronic control and the necessary welding automation, so both professional welders and ordinary homeowners who use inverters for utility and domestic purposes can work with this device.

Like most modern welding inverters, this model has received numerous automation that controls the welding process and also prevents failure of the unit due to overvoltage and overheating. For example, there is effective protection for preventing overheating, so as soon as the temperature inside the case exceeds the maximum permissible values, the protective system will turn off the inverter until it cools down completely.

Directly adjusting the welding current, wire feed speed and choosing its thickness does not present any difficulty. Therefore, working with this device does not require long training, and you can understand all the intricacies and features of using the inverter in literally 5 minutes.
