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.
Trigger hold, wire jog, and
gas purge are all located on front
panel (8VS: Trigger Hold optional).
Polypropylene case with built-in
slide rails and the ability to open the
door to change wire with feeder in
vertical position.
Wider voltage range for small
and large wires with no contactor
chatter or arc outages.
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).
Double-filtered gas valve helps
keep dirt from clogging and
affecting gas flow.
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.
Excellent starts and improved
superior arc performance for all
types and sizes of wires whether
using CV or CC power supply.
Improved contactor for high-amperage,
high duty cycle applications (8VS: 330 A
at 60%,12VS: 425 A at 60%).
