GENERAL DESCRIPTION

General Physical Description
The LN25 PRO EXTREME is specially engineered to
be the most rugged portable wire feeder available.
The plastic case is molded from a high impact, flame
retardant plastic for durability and low weight. The
patent pending design keeps the internal components
protected and dry.
The heart of the LN25 PRO EXTREME is the 2 roll
MAXTRAC™ drive. The patented features on the wire
drive offer tool-less changing of the drive rolls and
wire guides for quick spool changes. A tachometer
controlled motor powers the patent pending drive rolls
for smooth, steady feeding without slippage.
With only one p.c. board, the LN25 PRO EXTREME is
designed to be simple, reliable and easy to service.
The p.c. board is mounted with Lincolnʼs leading envi-
ronmental design protection by mounting the board in
a plastic tray and potting it with epoxy.
General Functional Description
The LN25 PRO EXTREME as designed is a simple,
robust feeder. Standard features include a calibrated
wire feed speed dial, CV-CC switch, Gas Purge and
Cold Feed.
