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).

18

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.
