This new feeder offers a flexible, modular design, including single-bench, dual-bench and boom-mount configurations that can be converted as workspace requirements change. It’s suitable for use in heavy and general fabrication, construction, structural and heavy equipment applications and includes a built-in interface for hard automation.

It features digital meters with pre-set voltage and wire-feed speed, displaying actual voltage and current during welding while offering four memory spaces to save repeated procedures. This allows the user to set passcode-secured limits and lockouts to better control welding procedures.

The MaxTrac wire drive has a cast-aluminium feed plate that protects the wire and ensures consistent wire feeding. Tool-less drive rolls allow operators to easily change wire size or type, while tool-less, split wire guides ensure uninterrupted feeding and prevent “bird nesting.”

Brass gun adapters reduce voltage drops and simplify connections. A user-selectable, wire-retract function pulls the hot wire back into the nozzle after welding to prevent operator injury. Dual models can also be equipped with an optional Power Path contactor that electrically isolates the non-active wire drive and gun.
