WELDING TOGETHER
CONVEX BASIC 400 and 500 equipment offer the possibility of using
interconnecting cables up to 50 m in order to control the parameters directly
from the feeder
HS 5 WIRE FEEDER
¼¼ Wire speed adjustment
¼¼ Welding voltage adjustment
¼¼ Gas purge and wire inch
¼¼ Professional wire feeding mechanism with 4 rolls of large diameter for a
precise and constant wire driving
¼¼ Graduated knob to achieve the most correct value of the wire pressure,
which remains unchanged also after any arm opening and closing
¼¼ Double groove rolls replaceable without any tool
¼¼ Lodging for wire spools up to 300 mm Ø maximum
SHS AND MINI SHS STRONG FEEDERS
These wire feeders, fitted with a robust polypropylene suitcase, are the ideal
solution for site jobs and harshest environments. Developed for use with solid
and flux cored wires, SHS can lodge spools up to 300 mm Ø, whilst more
compact and lighter mini SHS (8 kg only) can only take spools up to 200 mm Ø.
V/Ameter available on request only with a special equipment version.
WSC - WIRE START CONTROL
This new arc striking control device prevents any possible wire sticking to the
workpiece or torch nozzle, by ensuring a prompt and precise arc striking.
Le caratteristiche tecniche possono subire modifiche senza preavviso
BURN BACK CONTROL
A the end of each weld, in any condition and with any material, the digital
control ensures a perfect wire cut, thus avoiding the formation of the typical
“wire globule” so ensuring the subsequent best arc restriking.
OPEN TO THE FUTURE
CONVEX BASIC equipment are systems open to evolving technology: both
control firmware and software are designed to be always updatable.
