Welding wire feeders maximise stability
ESAB has released two welding wire feeders, designed to maximise feeding stability and minimise wire wear.
ESAB has introduced the Aristo Feed 3004 and Aristo Feed 4804 welding wire feeders to deliver high performance in conjunction with a suitable Aristo MIG power source Both machines feature a four-wheel feeder mechanism with grooves in the feed and pressure rollers and electronic control to maximise feeding stability and minimise wire wear

Welding power source suits outdoor use
The Caddy Arc 251i provides an adjustable hot start to help avoid starting problems, adjustable arc force for improved weld quality and electrode type selection to suit weld material.
Power sources boost tube weld quality
Orbital welding can be carried out more productively and at lower cost by using new additions to the ESAB Aristo range.
As a result, the units give a very smooth, controlled feed that helps to optimise weld quality.
The Aristo Feed 3004 has 30mm diameter rollers and can handle wire diameters up to 1.6mm; the Aristo Feed 4804 has 48mm rollers for wires up to 2.4mm.
To prevent overheating of water-cooled torches, the feeders incorporate ESAB's LogicPump (ELP) that automatically starts the water pump during welding.
Both machines can be equipped with any of the Aristo MA4, Aristo MA6, Aristo U6 or Aristo U8 man-machine communication (MMC) panels.
These are easy to operate, with accurate settings to suit the welding requirements.
ESAB's TrueArcVoltage system ensures that the correct arc voltage is maintained regardless of the length of the cables used.
All four MMC panels feature 2/4 stroke, crater filling, adjustable burn-back time, creep start, gas pre/post flow and digital V/A meters.
In addition, all but the Aristo MA4 panel benefit from hot start, gas purge/wire inching, pre-programmed synergic lines, a memory for ten sets of welding parameters, and pulse/synergic pulse.
The Aristo U8 can also be used to create new synergic lines.
To help keep the cost of ownership low, ESAB has designed the feeders to be very easy to maintain.
A single pressure device adjusts the feeding pressure, and all wear parts on the Aristo Feed 3004 can be replaced without tools.
A wide range of accessories is offered for the Aristo Feed machines, including a lifting eye, counterbalance, wheel kit, cable strain reliefs, spool covers and remote control units. Request a free brochure from ESAB ...
