Setting the standard for performance
Unique and durable case
Heavy-duty drive motor with tachometer control provides wire feed speed
that is accurate and consistent from the start of the weld to the finish and
from one weld to the next. Consistent wire feed speed is very important with
large-diameter cored wire, because small changes in wire feed speed make
large changes in deposition rates.
Impact-resistant, flame-retardant case provides strength and durability,
and protects components and welding wire from moisture, dust and
other contaminants.
Front panel has trigger hold, wire jog, and gas purge for easy operator
access (except 12RC).
Wide voltage range for small and large wires with no contactor chatter or
arc outages.
Ultra-low drag inlet guide pins make loading
the wire easy and does not deform the wire
on the way into the drive rolls improving wire
feeding performance.
Scaled wire pressure knob provides easy
adjustment and consistent pressure on the
drive rolls and wire.
Digital meters with SunVision™ technology
can display voltage, wire feed speed, and also
amperage if desired. Meters can be seen clearly
even in direct sunlight (optional on 8VS).

Built-in slide rails allow you to drag the feeder into position for welding.
Innovative feeder door design allows you to change wire while feeder is
standing upright or laying down.
Case is available in two sizes (except 12RC).
Extreme reliability
Potted and trayed main printed circuit board for the harshest environments
adds exceptional reliability. Board has full-trigger isolation so a shorted gun
trigger will not affect feeder operation.
Gun locking tab works with guns and Euro-adapter
having corresponding locking grooves to prevent
gun from being pulled out if the feeder is dragged
by the gun.
Gas inlet recessed into back of case is
protected from incidental contact by the weld
cable, ensuring consistent and contaminant-free
shielding gas delivery to the gun. Double-filtered
gas valve helps keep dirt from clogging and
affecting gas flow.
