General remarks

"PT Drive" stands for an extremely small, light and compact wirefeeder for use in
manual welding of soft welding wires using long hosepacks.
Two precision rollers, positioned at a 90° angle to one another, result in contact with the
wire over a large area. Because the contact-forces are transferred over such a large
area, this leads to excellent wirefeed properties, even with very soft aluminium and CuSi
wires and when using very long hosepacks.
System require- You can use the PT Drive with the following power sources:
ments -
-
-
The following software versions (or later) must be installed on the power sources and
wirefeeders:
-
-
In addition, you will need the following options for the power source:
-
-
At present, the PT Drive is suitable for the following diameters of welding wire:
-
-
-
