GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The LN-10 is a modular line of 42VAC input 4-roll wire feed- ers. A single control with dual procedure presettability of wire feed speed (in IPM or M/min) and arc voltage is used with a single DC welding power source.

The LN-10 models have controls providing keypad or remote selectability of either of two procedures.

The units offer 4 independently selectable gun trigger modes for each procedure; cold feed, 2 step and 4-step trig- ger and spot weld mode.

Also, 4 selectable, presettable timers for each procedure; preflow, postflow, burnback and spot weld time.

Arc starting can be optimized for each procedure with 5 selectable wire feed acceleration rates, and independent control of slower run-in procedure.

A gas purge key is provided, as well as cold feed forward and reverse keys with independently adjustable forward feed speed setting.

All of these features are selected with a tactile-feel keypad, and are set independently using one of two rotating knob encoders, setting levels are displayed on one of two digital LED displays.

The 10 Series Wire Drive assemblies include a heavy duty head with externally changeable gear ratio and 4 driven roll drives housed together in a single combination mounting and connection box. Gun adapters are available to permit use with a variety of standard welding guns.

Available Models:

The LN-10 Wire Feeder system is available configured in both Bench and Boom models.

Bench Models consists of an LN-10 control and a 10 Series wire drive assembly premounted on a platform with a dual 2" O.D. spindle mounting.

Boom Models consist of an LN-10 control and a choice of wire drives designed to be mounted separately and joined by available head to control cable assemblies.

RECOMMENDED PROCESSES AND EQUIPMENT

The LN-10 Wire Feeder system is recommended for use with solid wire gas-metal-arc or CV Submerged arc processes, as well as cored wire for Outershield GMA or Innershield processes.

The wire type and size range for the wire drive used, and gear ratio change selected, are given in the Specifications.

Recommended power sources are Lincoln Electric Company constant voltage power sources with 42 VAC auxiliary power and a 14-pin connector recepta- cle. At the time of printing these include: CV 250, CV300-I, CV-300, CV400-I, CV-400, CV500-I, DC- 400, DC-600, CV-655, Invertec V300-PRO, V350- PRO DC-650 PRO and DC- 655.

The DC-250, DC-1000 and the Pulse Power 500 (CV mode only) may also be used with the LN-10 if the optional K1520-2 115V / 42V Transformer Kit is used.
