GENERAL DESCRIPTION
General Physical Description
The LN-25™ IRONWORKER is specially engineered
to be the most rugged portable wire feeder available
and meets the individual welder needs.
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™ IRONWORKER is the 2 roll
MAXTRAC™ 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.
The LN-25™ IRONWORKER with a 450 amp, 60%
duty cycle rating, is ready for heavy duty welding.
General Functional Description
The LN-25™ IRONWORKER have adjustable WFS
range for improving the knob sensitivity. The low
range is great for critical welds with Innershield wires,
and the upper range is suitable for general purpose
welding. Selection of the WFS range is by a rocker
switch or through the set-up menu on meters with digi-
tal displays.
