PRODUCT SUMMARY
General Physical Description
The Lincoln Welding Arms create an organized work
environment. The models available are:
• 6000 series Stanchion Mount for bolting to an
appropriately prepared floor.
All welding arms are constructed with strong steel tub-
ing. The design is light weight yet stiff, and provides
for clever cable routing. When using optional vacuum
equipment, the tubes provide a sleek path for fume
and dust extraction.
For further flexibility, an optional lift truck platform is
available, making it easy to transport the welding arm
about the work site.
Order the optional mini-console for compressed air,
electric and vacuum connections at the wire feeder.
General Functional Description
The welding arms suspend the wire feeder and weld-
ing cables above the floor, allowing the work area to
be fully devoted to fabrication. Control cables, elec-
trode liners, electrode cables, shielding gas hoses,
etc. are neatly routed through the tubing of the arm for
protection.
6000 series arms feature counterbalance springs to
equalize the weight of the feeder and to allow the
operator to choose the working height. The operator
simply glides the arm into position and begins to weld.
