For years, welders have relied on the dependability of the Trailblazer® 325. It reliably delivered superior weld process control and output, along with auxiliary power, creating a more efficient and productive jobsite. Its successor — the next-generation Trailblazer 330 — is redefined and ready to optimize any welding operation, so every operator can improve weld quality and maximize productivity.
The Trailblazer 330 was redesigned not only to surpass industry expectations, but to incorporate updates the operators said they wanted to see in a next-gen machine. The result is an engine-driven welder available in several options to best meet your needs: gas, diesel and an Air Pak™ model, which delivers an all-in-one solution in just one machine. It can run multiple weld processes and comes equipped with a 10-pin, which allows for a direct connection to a spool gun for aluminum welding.
The Trailblazer 330 delivers 12,000 watts of peak generator power for 120- and 240-volt tools, giving any jobsite the power it needs. With a topology that separates the auxiliary power from the welding arc, it provides zero arc interference from auxiliary power draws.
A machine made for legendary output
Overall, advanced settings and an intuitive user interface set the Trailblazer 330 apart, making it easier for operators to optimize and fine-tune their arcs. It’s everything you expect from a Miller® engine-driven welder and more:
- A more mobile, smaller and lighter machine. Size reduction is significant: The Trailblazer 330 Gas is 13% smaller and went through an 86-pound weight reduction, while the Trailblazer 330 Air Pak has lost over 180 pounds. The smaller and lighter machine allows more tools to fit on a work truck and makes it easier to move around the jobsite, further optimizing payload and efficiency.
- Auto-Set™ technology. Weld parameter setup is fast, easy and accurate for operators of all skill levels with Auto-Set technology. The durable digital display provides an intuitive interface and quick access to settings for more control and exceptional weld quality.
- Increased fuel savings. Because of technology like Auto-Speed™, Excel™ power and electronic fuel injection, the Trailblazer 330 can save in refueling time and operating costs. With advanced Auto-Speed, the engine speed automatically adjusts to the rpm that is needed for the desired weld output. This quiets the engine and prevents it from working harder than necessary to minimize maintenance and reduce fuel costs. Excel power delivers 2,400 watts of auxiliary power at idle speed, which is good for running grinders or other handheld tools at a fuel-saving, quieter idle rpm. Using advanced Auto-Speed means operators don’t have to go to full rpm to make their welds, and Excel power can result in up to 52% more fuel efficiencies.
- Reduced jobsite noise. The combination of Excel power and Auto-Speed technologies decreases unnecessary noise because they automatically adjust to make sure the engine never runs faster — and by extension, louder — than necessary. This makes for a noticeably quieter jobsite.
- Increased data visibility. The interface shows predictive maintenance that helps you plan downtime for routine service needs. Additionally, productivity screens show how many hours are spent on each job, which allows for more accurate bids when looking to acquire new work.
- Voltage drop compensation. Cable Length Compensation (CLC™) and Weld Lead Calibration (WLC) technologies ensure that the right voltage is automatically delivered at the weld joint (when used together) — even if you’re using long weld cables.
Advanced technologies
The new Trailblazer 330 Series’ advanced process controls are key differentiators that help set up operators for success — no matter the job at hand. The featured technologies of this engine-driven welder are designed to simplify setup and parameter adjustments, improve productivity and enhance weld quality. Among them:
- Dynamic DIG™. This technology allows welders to adjust arc control (puddle fluidity) and DIG range (drive/penetration) with two independent controls, providing a fully customizable stick arc.
- Polarity-reversing technology (optional). Allows switching between different polarities (stick, flux-cored or gouging) with no need for cable swaps — saving time and improving weld quality. What makes things even easier is being able to do this with the Wireless Interface Control (WIC).
- Wireless Interface Control (WIC). remote enables complete front panel operation from anywhere on the jobsite.
- ArcReach®. This standard technology lets operators make parameter adjustments right at the weld joint for more arc-on time, saving steps — and time — for operators who previously had to take long walks back to their machines to make adjustments.
- Battery charge/crank assist option. Charge batteries (12 or 24V) without needing to use an additional charger or crank assist to start a stubborn machine.
- Aluminum welding enabled. A 10-pin direct spool gun connection makes it quick and easy to connect spool guns for welding aluminum without the need for adapters.
- Industrial rotary-screw air compressor. The Air Pak model features an air compressor that produces 30 cfm of air at 100% duty cycle and delivers 80-160 psi of air with no storage tank for consistent airflow performance.
At the end of the day, the class-leading Trailblazer 330 helps welders achieve high-quality welds and meet their timelines while providing auxiliary power when it’s needed. With industry-exclusive benefits made to make your jobsite more actionable and profitable, the Trailblazer is truly productivity redefined. Learn more about what a Trailblazer 330 can do for you.
