The 10 Series Wire Drive assemblies include a heavy duty head with an 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 STT-10 Wire Feeder system is available configured in both Bench and Boom models.

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

Boom Models consist of a STT-10 control and a wire drive designed to be mounted separately and joined by available head to control cable assemblies.

The head to control cable assemblies are available as stated below:

K1567-”L” Includes a control cable with a 14-pin ms style connection on each end, and a weld cable. Available in lengths “L” of 16, 20 or 25 ft. (4.9, 6.1 or 7.6 m)

K681-”L” Same as above but does not include weld cable available in lengths “L” of 12, 16 or 25 ft. (3.6, 4.9 or 7.6 m).

STT-10 Boom Package (K1568-Series) is also avail- able which includes:

• STT-10 Control Box

• 10 Series Wire Drive

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

•Turn the input power off at the power source disconnect switch before attempting to connect the input power to the STT-10 Control.

•Only qualified personnel should perform this installation.

INSTALLATION OF THE STT-10 BOOM MOUNT WIRE FEEDER COMPONENTS

Mounting the 10 Series Wire Drive Unit

Mount the 10 Series wire drive unit to the boom or structure using the four 5/16-18 threaded mounting holes located on the bottom of the drive connection box. See Figure A.1 for the size and location of the mounting holes. The feed plate and cover assembly is electrically "hot" when the gun trigger is pressed. Therefore, make certain the feed plate and cover do not come in contact with the structure on which the unit is mounted.

The wire drive unit should be mounted so that the drive rolls are in a vertical plane so dirt will not collect in the drive roll area. Pivot the feed plate so it will point down at an angle so the wire feed gun cable will not be bent sharply as it comes from the unit. See “Procedure for setting angle of Feed Plate” in the OPERATION section of this manual.

connect Control to Wire Drive

RECOMMENDED PROCESSES AND EQUIPMENT

GMAW is the only process supported by the STT-10. It is similar to “short-circuiting transfer” or “short arc” welding in that metal transfer is by physical contact. Non-shorting modes such as axial spray and pulse welding are not supported by STT technology.

The wire type and size range for the wire drive used, and speed range, are given in the Technical Specifications.

The STT-10 requires a STT-II Power Source.
