Wire feed units
About
Wire feeders are devices designed to provide uninterrupted supply of flux-cored or solid wire to the welding zone. They are necessary when welding metals in MIG mode. Sometimes they are included in the welding machines themselves, but it is much more convenient if the wire feeder is placed in a separate housing. This increases mobility when using welders and makes it easier to work with metal.
Each wire feeder consists of a drive motor and a system of coils that direct the consumable to the welding zone. The unit must ensure that the wire is fed evenly at the optimum pressure. If the pressure is too high, the wire can be deformed.
