The Spreadarcis designed to oscillate an automatic
welding head for continuous welding at high duty cycles.
The Spreadarcis compatible with the NA-3,NA-4, NA-5
and Power Feed10A Lincoln®automatic welding heads
and ideal for hardfacing applications.
The operator can set the oscillation travel speeds
and dwell times at either end of the stroke to provide
smoother bead edges through a digital control panel
on the front of the machine. Additionally, the jog mode
allows the operator to position the welding nozzle in
the correct starting location for a particular weld seam.

• Arc length remains constant during oscillation to provide a more
uniform penetration.
• Dwell timers provide delay periods atthe end-points of the stroke for
smoother bead edges.
• The oscilation travel speed of the arc is uniform across the bead.
• Bright, digital displays and LEDs.
• Rugged 24VDC right angle gear motor.
Heavy duty push buttons for everyday industrial use.
• Jog feature for positioning nozzle before welding procedure begins.
• Three-year warranty on parts and labor.
