The Power of Blue
®
.
Potted and trayed main printed circuit
board for the harshest environments
adds exceptional reliability. Board has
full-trigger isolation so a shorted gun
trigger will not affect feeder operation.
Polypropylene case with built-in slide
rails and the ability to open the door to
change wire with feeder in vertical position.
NEW!
X-TREME 8VS — Now in smaller
8VS size for shipbuilding, maintenance or
wherever a lighter, smaller, more portable
feeder is required. Same great features
of its big brother the X-TREME 12VS.
Ergonomically sound, lightweight unit
is well balanced for ease of carrying to
remote welding sites. Fits through a 14 in
(25 mm) manhole/manway.
Digital meters with SunVision
™
technology can display voltage and
wire speed, and also amperage
if desired. Meters can be seen
clearly even in direct sunlight
(8VS: Meters optional).
Wire feeder is warranted for 3 years, parts and labor.

Excellent starts and improved
superior arc performance for all
types and sizes of wires whether
using CV or CC power supply.
Trigger hold, wire jog, and
gas purge are all located on front
panel
(8VS: Trigger Hold optional)
.
Double-filtered gas valve helps
keep dirt from clogging and
affecting gas flow.
Wider voltage range for small
and large wires with no contactor
chatter or arc outages.
