The IM 240-i inverter welding machine belongs to the Wielander + Schill „Welding Technology” category, specifically the Gas Shielded Arc Welding section. Specifically tailored to modern vehicle repair needs, the device is excellently suited for:
Body Repairs: The MIG soldering capability is critically important for repairing body parts, especially thinner sheets where conventional MIG/MAG welding can cause excessive heat input. The precise arc control of the IM 240-i minimizes deformation.
Steel Structure Welding: The wide current range (20-200 A) and stable arc also allow for the reliable joining of thicker steel components, such as subframe parts or reinforcements.
Workshop Flexibility: Despite its weight of 40 kg and relatively compact dimensions (900x500x840 mm), the machine has a robust construction, which is essential in high-demand workshop environments.
The 85% efficiency rating means that a large portion of the input energy is converted into useful work, reducing energy loss. The 16 A slow-blow fuse ensures the machine operates reliably on a standard 230 V mains connection while protecting the internal circuits from sudden current surges. The 10-35 V voltage range allows for fine-tuning for different wire diameters and material thicknesses.

For efficient operation, the following accessories are recommended for the product (exact availability and price visible after login):
307004 Centering adapter for D200 wire spool: For precise adjustment of D200 wire spools on the spool holder, ensuring smooth, unobstructed wire feed.
541211 Four-row hand wire brush (Stainless steel): For general cleaning tasks.
541212 Hand wire brush for corner welds (INOX): Specially designed for cleaning V-welds and corner welds, with a wire diameter of 0.35 mm.
561030 Body dismantling pliers (Cutting pliers): Special tool for dismantling body parts. The cutting edges are extra hardened (approx. 59 HRC), made of forged and oil-hardened tool steel.
311050 Crack detection fluid (Penetrant red | Ardrox 9VF2): For checking the internal structure of metals, especially for detecting damage after accidents (e.g., around the MacPherson strut). The penetrant penetrates even the finest cracks and is then made contrastingly visible with the help of the white developer spray.
311051 Crack detection cleaner (Ardrox 9PR5): For the complete removal of test fluids and developer residues from the surface.
Note: The IM 240-i USA version (Item No: 341291) is supplied with a cable but without a plug.
