When shopping for a wire feeder one of the first things you need to determine is whether an automatic or semi-automatic version will best suit your needs. Both have their individual benefits, but only you can decide, based on its intended use, which version will be best for the job.
The wire feed unit supplies the electrode to your work, driving it through the conduit and on to the contact tip. Most models provide the wire at a constant feed rate, but more advanced machines can vary the feed rate in response to the arc length and voltage. Some wire feeders can reach feed rates as high as 30.5 m/min (1200 in/min), but feed rates for semi-automatic GMAW typically range from 2 to 10 m/min (75–400 in/min).
Automatic wire feeder
The automatic wirefeeder is specially designed to deposit more weld metal at fast travel speeds which eliminates bottlenecks and cuts costs. Do you want more control over your welding process? If so, consider an automatic wire feeder. USWeldingSupply.com offers a comprehensive selection that can integrate with your processes seamlessly.
Automatic wire feeders, like the Lincoln LT-7 Tractor, is a self-propelled mechanized wire feeder, designed for the submerged arc process with track system capabilities. It is self-guiding and easy to operate. The rugged, lightweight unit permits quick movement to the next joint and its compact size fits through small openings and confined spaces.
Semi-automatic wire feeder
The semi-automatic wirefeeder is designed for MIG and cored wire welding. If reliable feeding and durability are important to you, the patented MAXTRAC® heavy-duty cast aluminum wire drive system does just that; featuring brass-to-brass gun connections for better electrical conductivity that results in better arc performance and totally tool-less drive rolls and wire guide installation.
Whatever your preferred wire feeder, automatic or semi-automatic, we carry only the best name brands, like Lincoln and Miller, and offer competitive pricing on all of our welding supplies at USWeldingSupply.com. Check out our full selection today!
