Example of "Wire Farm" with bulk packs positioned at a central location and SmartBoosters pushing the welding wires through long conduits placed inside the cable tracks

Choose, from the below options, the configuration that would best work for your equipment and welding process

1

Welding wire delivered through a relatively short curved Maxiglide conduit.
Normally not longer than 10 meters but with fewer and wide curves the conduit can be longer.

Setup components

1. Wire Pack (all formats)

2. swivel supporting arm (optional)

3. Maxiglide with quick end connectors

4. front feeder fitting

2

Welding wire with residual tension, delivered through a relatively short curved Maxiglide conduit.
The recommended maximum length is 10 meters but with fewer and wide curves the conduit can be longer.

Setup components

1. Wire Pack (all formats)

2. Twister

3. Swivel supporting arm
(optional)

4. MaxiGlide with quick end connectors

5. Front feeder fitting

3

In those manual welding applications where the feeder hangs from a boom, this type of setup allows the use of bulk packs instead of spools and can really help minimise the changeover downtime (1 hour is generally lost every 4 spool changes); it can also address the safety concerns for welders who are frequently forced to manually load heavy spools onto the feeder spool holder.

Setup components

1. Wire Pack (all formats)

2. Swivel supporting arm

3. SmartBooster
(auxiliary rear feeder)

4. MaxiGlide with quick end connectors

5. "T" shaped supports for Maxiglide at curves (optional /recommended)

6. Front feeder fitting
