Welding gun aims for global dominance
MK Products has intensified its effort to provide premier welding equipment on a global scale.
Its ergonomic design reduces operator fatigue and improves productivity.
The patented spool and brake system keeps a level, uniform distribution of wire across the reel, eliminating tangles or jams in the welding wire, which could ultimately lead to burn backs and poor quality welds.
The patent-pending quick-release Mini-Spool permits rapid wire spool changes with no tools and requires no additional settings or adjustments.
The built-in gas valve makes the Sidewinder easy to connect with most welding power sources without complicated purge time control circuitry.
The Sidewinder Mini-Spool gun also features a knurled drive roll, which promotes positive welding wire engagement.
A drive roll cover, protecting the welding circuit and the drive rolls from dust and other debris, easily opens and closes.
