POWER SUPPLY - POWER UP
The SMARTFEED M-4 robotic wire feeder has been designed to work exclusively with the NEOPULSE range:
- NEOPULSE 500 G
(ref. 014503)
- NEOPULSE 400 G
(ref. 014497)
- NEOPULSE 320 C
(ref. 062474)
This reel can be used with manual and robotic MIG-MAG torches. The connection between these two elements is made through a dedicated beam.
PRECAUTIONS
Make sure the welding generator is switched off when connecting or disconnecting the wire feeder.
WIRE LOADING

- Check the marking on the roller to ensure that the rollers are suitable for the diameter of the wire
and the material of the wire (for a Ø 1.2 wire, use the Ø 1.2 groove).
- Use rollers with V-groove for steel and other hard wires.
- Use rollers with U-slots for aluminium and other soft alloy wires.
