KP1507 Series
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The KP1507 series of drive roll kits contain a number of components, in addition to the drive rolls, to optimize the
wire feeder for aluminum feeding. These components are specifically designed to protect the aluminum wire
from abrasion and deformation, thereby avoiding many common aluminum feeding problems.
The provided plastic wire conduit and conduit bushing protect the wire from abrasion on it’s way into the wire
guides. The low friction plastic split wire guides protect the wire from abrasion, and support the wire as close as
possible to the drive rolls. The drive rolls have a special groove shape and finish. In addition, lower pressure
springs are provided for installation in the pressure door (except for kit KP1507-3/32A (2.4mm)). These springs
are optimized for aluminum feeding.
SAFETY
Follow all safety guidelines in your power source and feeder operators manuals and any additional guidelines
covered in this manual.
