Cebora SYNSTAR 500 TS vs Cebora EVO 450 TS Synergic
Technical comparison · MIG/MAG welding (wire feed)
Two professional MIG/MAG welders with the same maximum current, 500 A, and wire up to 1.6 mm, both ready for aluminium. What separates them is pulse, available on the SYNSTAR 500 TS and not on the EVO 450 TS Synergic, and about €5,000 in price.

| Software notes | The user interface is operated via an LCD touch screen, designed for intuitive control over all parameters. The system integrates a broad range of pre-loaded synergic curves for solid wire, flux-cored wire, and aluminum. Unlockable software options are available for Pulse and Double Pulse functions, along with specific processes such as MIG SHORT HD (High Deposit) and optimized cycles for aluminum welding (Automatic Hot Start and Crater Filler). The machine's firmware allows for rapid updates via a USB port. | The machine does not require any external PC or cloud-based control software, operating with complete autonomy through its integrated digital panel. The internal management system is equipped with a microprocessor board that stores and manages a wide range of pre-set synergic curves, optimized for various materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, and Cu-Si3 brazing. The operator can easily recall the optimal parameters from the display, simplifying the setup for solid or flux-cored wires. Advanced functions directly accessible from the welder's interface include the adjustment of post-gas time, soft start, spot and pause time, electronic inductance, and burn back, offering precise control over the entire thermal cycle without any IT dependencies. |
The differences that matter
- Pulse, yes on the SYNSTAR 500 TS, no on the EVO 450 TS Synergic → pulsed-heat beads on aluminium are only possible on the SYNSTAR.
- Price, about €10,500 vs €5,500 → about €5,000 apart at the same 500 A.
- Inverter vs transformer, 111 kg vs 125 kg → the SYNSTAR is lighter to move around the workshop.
Which one to choose
Choose SYNSTAR 500 TS if…
For a workshop welding aluminium that wants pulse and double pulse, unlocked as software options, along with the dedicated cycles (automatic hot start and crater filler). The trade-off: about €5,000 more and a 400 V three-phase supply.
Choose EVO 450 TS Synergic if…
For welding carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloys and Cu-Si3 brazing with stored synergic curves, without needing pulse. It costs about €5,000 less, with the same 500 A and the same 15 kg spool; the trade-off is a transformer power source, no pulse, and 125 kg against 111.
