Feature Overview

Pulse MIG: Single & Double Pulse Modes

Achieve cleaner, stronger welds with reduced spatter and minimized heat input. Ideal for aluminium and stainless steel, the single and double pulse functions provide enhanced control and weld aesthetics.

Single Pulse Mode:

A single pulse weld alternates between a peak and base current, which works to minimise the amount of heat input without compromising on any of the penetration. The addition of a base current and reduction in heat means it's perfect for softer materials like aluminium. Pulse welding is also done by spray transfer, eliminating spatter and cutting your post-weld clean-up time. 

Double Pulse Mode:

A double pulse weld alternates between a peak current and two base currents, reducing the heat input of the weld even further than the single pulse, while still maintaining all of the benefits. Because of the faster freezing puddle, your double pulse welds come out looking just like a stack of dimes. You get the aesthetics of a TIG weld with all the speed of a spray MIG. 

Modular & Future-Proof Design

Built on a modular platform, the EVOLVE 500 supports future upgrades such as AC/DC TIG and plasma cutting modules, ensuring your machine grows with your needs.

100+ Smart-Set MIG Programs 

Getting set up for a weld has never been faster with over 100 synergic programs. Simply select your metal type, wire size, gas type, and material thickness, and the machine does the rest. It will pick the optimal settings for your weld. 

Module Add Ons 

Futureproof your purchase with the EVOLVE MULTI 500 PULSE, with the option to add additional modules as you need them. These optional modules include an AC/DC TIG module for all your future needs. 

Seperate Wire Feeder

Get the ultimate flexibility. The addition of a separate wire feeder means you can detach the wire feeder from the main power source, giving you an extra 10m of manoeuvrability. 

Advanced MIG Features

Hot Start

Get the smoothest arc start possible. The Hot Start function gives a boost of current at the beginning of your weld, eliminating any issues with starting on cold metal, letting you weld on thicker materials, and making welding aluminium even easier. 

Crater Fill

End your welds as strong as they started. Crater Fill ramps your welding current and voltage down at the end of a weld, filling it in at a lower amperage, eliminating craters and pinholes. 

Push Pull Ready

Achieve smooth and steady wire feeding, especially when using softer wires such as aluminium. With a 'Pull' motor built into the torch, the wire can be fed over a greater distance, granting you the freedom to move and manoeuvre with ease while MIG welding. 

Longer Torch Consumable Life 

Get superior life out of every torch consumable. Designed for maximum performance, you'll get 6x longer life with Arc Torchology consumables.

Contact Tip Performance

The Arc Torchology contact tips lasted up to 6x longer, withstanding the maximum amperage for 30 hours vs. the Binzel 501D's 5 hours. 

Gas Nozzle Performance

The Arc Torchology gas nozzles lasted up to 3x longer, withstanding the maximum amperage for 75 hours vs. the Binzel 501D's 25 hours. 

Tip Adapter Performance

The Arc Torchology tip adapters lasted up to 5x longer, withstanding the maximum amperage for 250 hours vs. the Binzel 501D's 50 hours. 

Cooler Running Torches

The Arc Torchology gas nozzles run 74% cooler in 15 minutes, with a maximum temperature of 200°C vs. the competitor's 350°C. 

Less Maintenance and Downtime

Spend less time cleaning your consumables and have them last longer with 90% less spatter adhesion. 

Contact Tip Performance

The Arc Torchology contact tips had 90% less spatter adhesion on the tip's face, with only 9% spatter vs. the Binzel 501D's 100%.

Gaz Nozzle Performance

The Arc Torchology gas nozzle had 33% less spatter adhesion on the nozzle's face, with only 67% spatter vs. the Binzel 501D's 100%. 

Power Factor Correction (PFC)

Get the most out of your machine. The PFC maximises the electrical efficiency of the machine and automatically compensates for any voltage fluctuations, so you get more output power and the internal components last longer.  

Inverter Technology

Not every inverter is made equal. With Xcel-Arc's ever evolving, state-of-the-art IGBT Inverter Technology, you get better performance, better efficiency, and better reliability. 

4 Geared Wire Drive

The most consistent and smoothest wire-feeding experience there is. With a four-geared wire drive unit, more power pushes the wire, improving the wire-feeding, especially with longer torches.

Versatile Welding Processes

Supports MIG, TIG, and MMA, making it ideal for fabrication, manufacturing, and more.

IP23S

Rated IP23S, so it's protected from touch by fingers and objects greater than 12mm, and water spray less than 60°C from vertical while still. 

Advanced MMA Features

Arc Force

The Arc Force feature helps to keep the arc stabilised throughout the weld by increasing or decreasing the peak current to compensate for your arc length, preventing the arc from cutting out or the electrode from sticking. 

Hot Start

The adjustable hot start is designed to help with striking an arc. The hot start temporarily boosts the output current at the start, making striking an arc, even with difficult electrodes, much easier. You get smoother arc starts, improving the quality of your weld. 

Anti-Stick

The Anti-Stick feature, which is always on, prevents your electrode from sticking to your workpiece. When the machine detects sticking, the current will drop significantly, so the electrode can be removed. 

Additional Features 

Job Memory 

Save all your favourite settings with the Job Memory feature. With up to 100 saves available, you’ll never need to memorise your parameters again. Seamlessly switch between different jobs with the touch of a button.

Digital Control Torch

Our digital MIG torch allows you to adjust your settings on the fly. Change the amps, current, and voltage with just a touch of the torch button.

Large Wire Spool Capacity

Fits both D200 and D300 wire spools, allowing for 15kg mild steel or 7kg aluminium spools to be used in the machine.

Robotics Connection

Easily integrate a robotic arm into your workflow. Improve precision, consistency, and efficiency with automated, repeatable welds—reducing human error and boosting productivity.

CO2 Preheater

Connect a preheater to your CO2 regulator to prevent freezing during prolonged use. Keeps the gas heated for consistent flow and prevents fluctuations or drops.

Adjustable Arc Length

Achieve precision with adjustable arc length. Fine-tune the preselected voltage during synergic and pulse MIG modes for optimal control.

Inductance Control

Take control of your arc with inductance settings. Adjust the frequency of short circuit MIG welds to suit your preference for arc characteristics on every weld.

Burnback Adjustment

Prevent wire fusing with your weld or contact tips. Tune burnback control to let just the right amount of wire stick out from your torch after a weld.
