CROSSLINC TECHNOLOGY: SOLVING SITE WELDING ISSUES

Worker safety, weld quality, productivity and equipment reliability come to mind when welding on site or on large structures.

In these environments, it is typical for the operator to work closely with a rugged, compact and lightweight welding wire feeder, connected to a weather-resistant power source hundreds of feet away.

Worker safety, weld quality, productivity and equipment reliability come to mind when welding on site or on large structures. In these environments, it is typical for the operator to work closely with a rugged, compact and lightweight wire feeder, connected to a weather-resistant power source hundreds of feet away. Until now, portable wire feeders have been available in two configurations: basic across-the-arc models or portable feeders equipped with an added control cable.

Across-the-arc models are powered by the weld cable. This configuration provides benefits of fewer cables running back to the power source, but voltage control at the point-of-use is
not possible.

The addition of a control cable to the system allows the operator to adjust voltage at the point-of-use, but these cables can be costly and add additional complexity to the production environment.

There has to be a better way.
