POWER FEED 25M & 25M ALUMINUM

LOADING SPOOLS OF WIRE

• Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from
rotating equipment.
• Do not wear gloves when threading wire or
changing wire spool.
• Only qualified personnel should install, use or
service this equipment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Loading 10 to 15 lb. (4.5 – 6.8kg) Spools.
A K468 spindle adapter is required for loading 2" (51mm) wide
spools on 2" (51mm) spindles. Use a K468 spindle adapter for
loading 2-1/2" (64mm) wide spools.
1. Squeeze the release bar on the retaining collar and remove it
from the spindle.
2. Place the spindle adapter on the spindle, aligning the spindle
brake pin with the hole in the adapter.
3. Place the spool on the spindle and align the adapter brake tab
with one of the holes in the back side of the spool. An
indicator mark on the end of the spindle shows the orientation
of the brake tab. Be certain the wire feeds off of the spool in
the proper direction.
4. Re-install the retaining collar. Make sure that the release bar
snaps out and that the retaining collar fully engages the
groove on the spindle.

TYPICAL SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS

Standard Features
Arc Performance
• Push-Pull ready for welding aluminum with Pulse and Pulse-
®
on-Pulse waveforms.
• STT ® capable when used with STT
• Waveform Control Technology
appearance and low spatter, even when welding nickel alloys.
Wire Drive
Patented 2 roll drive system. MAXTRAC
great feeding because:
• Patent pending drive rolls improve traction on solid wire by up
to 20%.
• The precision machined, rigid aluminum alloy frame results in
maximum drive roll clamping pressure.
• Patented split wire guides fully support the wire and virtually
eliminate birdnesting.
• No tools required to change the drive rolls and wire guides.
• Patented dual spring pressure arms have sensitivity for
feeding soft wires without crushing them, and have plenty of
compression force for feeding solid or stiff wires.
• All gear driven rolls for more feeding force.
• Changeable gun bushings easily accept guns from other
manufacturers.
• Brass-to-brass connections between the electrode connection
and the gun minimize voltage drop variations, resulting in
consistent arc performance all day, every day.
• Powerful, quiet motor with integrated tachometer for accurate
WFS regulation.
Extras:
• Flowmeter with gas control valve
• Push-Pull ready.
• Remote control / Foot amptrol ready.
• Internal heater for keeping condensation off of the spool of wire.
• Internal lights for illuminating the wire drive compartment.
Options
• Water cooling kit for use with water cooled guns.
