BOC unleashes the Beast
Versatile workhorse capable of MIG, MAG and MMA weldingGas and engineering expert, BOC, has unveiled its BOC Smootharc Advance II Beast 555R MIG Welder- nicknamed the Beast – a MIG MAG machine with MMA capability.
The unit is the first release in BOC’s revamped Smootharc welding range, with more products set to be announced in 2021.
Head of BOC Welding, Tony Newnham, said the Beast is BOC’s most powerful MIG MAG yet and will please welders working in medium to heavy engineering and manufacturing.
“The Beast is a true workhorse – the biggest in our Smootharc range. It’s versatile, robust and simple to operate – with an inverter-based power source that offers a high duty cycle for optimal results.
“It’s great value for money for its size, with affordable upgrade options from standard gas-cooled welder, to water-cooled for increased productivity and even longer weld times.”
BOC said the “Beast” has been designed to withstand the toughest environments and is housed in a steel case with large wheels for easy transport around the workshop.
“We look forward to raising the curtain on new Smootharc products in 2021 – and encourage manufacturers to get in touch with our technical welding specialists for advice on the best products and shielding gases to improve productivity and safety,” Newnham said.
The Smootharc Advance II MIG 555R complies with AS/NZS 60974-1 and IEC/EN 60974-10 standards and is backed by a three-year conditional warranty. It comes with a full set of accessories, a separate wire feeder and 10m inter-connecting cable.
