Introduction
Jetline cold wire feeders are primarily used for gas
tungsten arc welding (TIG) and plasma arc welding
(PAW). They can also be used in other applications
where a controlled feed of wire is required such as
a brazing operation.
Cold wire feeding is used in the welding process
for four purposes:
1t
To add "fill" to a weld joint. The wire is used to
fill a chamfered weld preparation or to add
reinforcement for a butt weld.
2t
To enhance or preserve the metallurgical integrity of the weld metal by selecting the wire
type to add the required elements to the weld
or to replace those which are lost as a result of
the welding operation.
3t
4t
To control the weld pool by the chilling action
of the wire, especially in out-of-position weld
applications. The chilling effect reduces the
weld pool size for easier control.
To provide the fill for an overlay or cladding
operation. The wire can be selected to provide
the desired properties for the application.
All Jetline wire feeders are suitable for any of the
above applications. The standard CWF-50 is competitively priced and provides smooth, consistent
wire feed for almost all types of welding wire, both
hard and soft. The CWF-20C precision model is
available for demanding applications where wire
feed speed accuracy is critical.

Speed Accuracy
The CWF-50 uses a wire drive mechanism providing a
speed holding accuracy of +1% of the rated speed.
The CWF-20C is a high accuracy cold wire feeder
which uses a precision motor with integrated tachgenerator and a precision drive control to provide
speed holding accuracies of +0.1% of the rated
speed.
Both models come with integrated tach generators
to allow the feeder to be operated under closedloop control for greater speed holding accuracy.
