Excellent starts and improved superior arc performance for all types and sizes of wires whether using CV or CC power supply.
REQUEST A QUOTEPolypropylene case with built-in slide rails and the ability to open the door to change wire with feeder in vertical position.
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.
Improved contactor for high-amperage, high duty cycle applications (8VS: 330 A at 60%,12VS: 425 A at 60%).
Smaller 8VS size for shipbuilding, maintenance or wherever a lighter, smaller, more portable feeder is required. Same great features of its big brother the X-TREME 12VS.
