GENERAL DESCRIPTION

General Physical Description

The LN-25™ PRO is specially engineered to be the most rugged portable wire feeder available.

Several models of the LN-25™ PRO are offered to best meet individual welder needs. The Extra Torque model features additional torque gearing for reliable feeding of large diameter FCAW wires. All of the mod- els include a gas solenoid and flow meter for the flexi- bility to run most wire processes.

The plastic case is molded from a high impact, flame retardant plastic for durability and low weight. The patent pending design keeps the internal components protected and dry.

The heart of the LN-25™ PRO is the 2 roll MAX- TRAC™ drive. The patented features on the wire drive offer tool-less changing of the drive rolls and wire guides for quick spool changes. A tachometer controlled motor powers the patent pending drive rolls for smooth, steady feeding without slippage.

With only one p.c. board, the LN-25™ PRO is designed to be simple, reliable and easy to service. The p.c. board is mounted with Lincoln’s leading envi- ronmental design protection by mounting the board in a plastic tray and potting it with epoxy.

General Functional Description

The LN-25™ PRO as designed is a simple, robust feeder. Standard features include a calibrated wire feed speed dial, 2 step/trigger interlock switch, CV-CC switch, Gas Purge and Cold Feed.

RECOMMENDED PROCESSES

FCAW

PROCESS LIMITATIONS

GMAW-P procedures must be qualified by the cus- tomer.

Across-the-Arc models are not recommended for stitch or spot welding.

EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS

The duty cycle of the wire feeder is 325A, 100% and 450A, 60%. Duty cycle is based upon the amount of welding performed in a 10 minute period.

The maximum spool size is 45 lb, 12" diameter.

Maximum FCAW gun length is 15 ft.

Maximum GMAW gun length is 25 ft.

Push-pull guns do not work with the wire feeder.

When using the digital meter kit, preset voltage is accurate only with the following power sources:

Invertec V-350
