WIA W18 4rd Wirefeeder Owner's manual

Type
Owner's manual

WIA W18 4rd Wirefeeder is a wire feeding device engineered for gas-metal arc welding processes. It works with a wide range of hard, soft and flux-cored wires, and is driven by a low inertia DC motor with integrated spur gearbox, coupled to a four roll drive assembly, feeding the basic component of the wire feeder. The motor is controlled by an electronics speed control, which ensures excellent speed regulation over the full torque range of the motor, and inherent compensation for supply voltage variations. In addition to that, the wirefeeder comes with:

  • Power on indicator to show when the unit is switched on

is
determined
by
the setting

The

it

The

such that,

WIA W18 4rd Wirefeeder Owner's manual

Type
Owner's manual

WIA W18 4rd Wirefeeder is a wire feeding device engineered for gas-metal arc welding processes. It works with a wide range of hard, soft and flux-cored wires, and is driven by a low inertia DC motor with integrated spur gearbox, coupled to a four roll drive assembly, feeding the basic component of the wire feeder. The motor is controlled by an electronics speed control, which ensures excellent speed regulation over the full torque range of the motor, and inherent compensation for supply voltage variations. In addition to that, the wirefeeder comes with:

  • Power on indicator to show when the unit is switched on
