Portable All-In-One Welding System for Light Fabrication
Setting weld parameters in MIG, Stick and TIG processes is now easier than ever with the exclusive Auto-Set™ Elite feature on the Multimatic 200, which weighs just 29 lb and connects to common 120- and 230-volt receptacles with a MVP™ multi-voltage plug.

Stick and TIG welding performance matches that of the Maxstar® 150 series of inverter power sources, and the system is also compatible with a number of accessories — including the TIG Contractor Kit and the Spoolmate™ 100 Series spool gun for MIG welding aluminum — to provide greater application versatility.
“The multiprocess capabilities, the easy setup, and the multiple power options make this the most versatile portable welding machine on the market today,” said Ben Romenesko, a product manager at Miller. “The small, lightweight design makes for easy transportation and storage on trucks and trailers, and at 29 pounds it is easily moved around the jobsite as needed.”
AUTO-SET ELITE SIMPLIFIES SETUP, OPERATION
The new Auto-Set Elite function takes the basic details of the weld and automatically sets the machine to the optimum parameters for that joint. Auto-Set Elite asks the welder to select the following criteria to accurately determine weld parameters:
- Welding process
- Wire/Rod/Tungsten diameter
- Material thickness
It also gives the operator the ability to fine-tune the selected weld parameters to further match the arc to the application.
Another feature of the Multimatic 200 welding system is an advanced LCD interface that prompts the operator to select the proper polarity and gas mix for the process, and uses basic language descriptions — not numerical codes — to display alerts on the machine. For instance, if there is a cable error, the LCD will simply read, “Cable error; remove wire feed housing to clear error.”
MULTI-VOLTAGE PLUG ALLOWS WELDERS TO GO ANYWHERE
Popular on a variety of Miller TIG, MIG and plasma cutting products, the MVP plug makes the Multimatic 200 the first multiprocess machine outfitted with tool-less multi-voltage capabilities. The Multimatic 200 comes with two adaptor plugs (one for 120 volts and one for 230 volts) that easily change over the machine’s main power cord. Changing voltage plugs now takes seconds, and Auto-Line technology automatically adjusts the machine to operate at optimal levels based on incoming power.
The machine comes with a setup and operation DVD, as well as an information/settings chart and quick setup guide. Built and designed in Appleton, Wis., the Multimatic 200 welding system is CSA certified and covered by the True Blue® 3-year warranty.
