Miller Electric has announced the release of the Bobcat 265 Air Pak and Trailblazer 330 Air Pak. In addition to the Air Pak options, the Bobcat 265 is available in gas and LP models, while the Trailblazer 330 comes in gas and diesel.
Both the new Bobcat 265 Air Pak and Trailblazer 330 Air Pak offer the capabilities of an integrated industrial rotary-screw air compressor, eliminating the need for a separate compressor. These all-in-one machines are lighter and smaller than previous models, offering auxiliary power, battery charge/crank assist and an air compressor — delivering all-in-one capabilities for maintenance, repair operations and field fabrication.
“The new Bobcat and Trailblazer Air Pak engine-driven welders eliminate the need to have a separate air compressor, lightening up operators' payload and saving them space,” said Brian Bellile, product manager, Miller. “Both machines are ideal for work truck and field fabricators. Regardless of which machine is best for your operation, these machines are all-in-one solutions for professionals across industries, preparing them for any job and repair on the jobsite.”
Both Air Pak machines allow operators to run air impact wrenches and give 100% deliverable air. The compressor produces 30 cfm of air at 100% duty cycle and delivers 80-160 psi of air with an optional storage tank for airflow performance.

The Bobcat 265 Air Pak is lightweight at 570 lbs. with a small footprint to fit on a work truck.
Trailblazer 330 Air Pak
The Trailblazer 330 Air Pak provides up to 330 amps at 30.5 volts and 100% duty cycle to allow high deposition rates by running bigger-diameter flux-cored wire and gouging thicker materials. Operators also get more control with pulsed TIG and the updated Dynamic DIG technology provides smooth, consistent stick arcs tailored to match applications, materials, fit-up and welder technique.Highlights of the Trailblazer 330 Air Pak include:
- Excel power provides auxiliary AC power, delivering quiet idle speed — standard on the Trailblazer 330 Air Pak
- Standard ArcReach technology lets operators change parameters at the weld joint with an ArcReach feeder
- Cable Length Compensation (CLC) for power performance
- Advanced Auto-Speed technology adjusts engine speed automatically to match any load
- For remote current, voltage and contactor control, a receiver plugs directly into the 14-pin receptacle of the machine for up to 300 ft. of operating range
- Wireless Interface Control (WIC) allows complete front panel operation
- Select models include standard Polarity Reversing, allowing users to switch between stick, flux-cored or gouging with no need for cable swaps
