Saldatrice Lincoln Electric Invertec 160 SX con maschera autoscurante (K12050-1)

Lincoln Electric Invertec 160 SX with auto-darkening helmet (K12050-1) is a compact inverter welding package that combines the Invertec 160 SX welding unit and a protective auto-darkening welding helmet. The set is intended to support basic MMA (stick) welding and TIG tack welding operations while providing integrated eye protection for the operator. Its portable size and included helmet make it suitable for small workshop jobs, maintenance tasks, and hobby projects where a straightforward, transportable solution is required.

Advantages

The package pairs a compact inverter welding unit with an auto-darkening helmet to reduce setup complexity and improve safety during arc starts. The Invertec 160 SX offers the benefits of inverter technology such as lighter weight and stable arc performance for basic MMA and TIG tack welding. The included helmet automatically darkens on arc detection, eliminating the need to manually flip a lens and improving workflow continuity. The combination supports portability and immediate use without separate helmet purchase.

Suitable for

• Hobbyist metalwork and DIY welding projects
• Light maintenance and repair tasks on farms, workshops, or small businesses
• MMA (stick) welding and TIG tack welding setups
• Mobile jobs where a compact, transportable welding solution is needed
