PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
General Physical Description
The Power Feed™ 10M Single Wire Feeder is a mod-
ular wire feeder, consisting of two components - a
wire drive and a control box - are available assem-
bled as a bench unit or as a boom system. High
speed, highly reliable digital cables connect the com-
ponents together and to the Power Wave power
source.
The Power Feed™ 10M Single Wire Feeder system
has the ability to connect multiple wire feeders to one
power source, use the same power source to weld in
two different locations (not simultaneously), or load a
different electrode on each feeder to eliminate change
over time.
The powerful four roll wire drive system sets the
industry standard for ease of use. Its patented design
allows for tool-less change out of wire guides and
drive rolls greatly reducing set up time.
General Functional Description
• The Power Feed™ 10M Single Wire Feeder is a
highly versatile wire feeder with easy to use fea-
tures that make it easy for the operator to adjust the
arc for specific preferences.
• The new MSP4 panel clearly displays key welding
information. Use the MSP4 panel to quickly adjust
weld settings, arc starting parameters, arc end para-
meters and set-up variables.
• The Power Feed™ 10M Single Wire Feeder wire
feeder is provided with an infrared red (IR) port.
Transferring welding settings from one wire feeder
to another is accomplished with a common palm
computer.
• When the Power Feed™ 10M Single Wire Feeder is
coupled to a Power Wave welding power source,
the result is a welding system with absolutely supe-
rior arc performance.
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES
The Power Feed™ 10M Single Wire Feeder is well
suited for all MIG welding processes, giving premium
arc performance especially with unusual alloys and
out of position work.
• GMAW • SMAW
• GMAW-Pulse • GTAW (Touch Start TIG only)
• GMAW-STT • CAG
• FCAW
