TIG Cold Wire Feeders

For automated TIG welding, as well as to increase productivity of suitable manual welding processes, the use of a cold wire feeder is beneficial. TBi offers different components which can be combined to a system which precisely fits your requirements. The main components are the mechanical drive units, the electrical control systems and the wire guiding parts up to the welding arc. We will be happy to assist you in choosing the right system for your application. If needed, we also manufacture special parts for adaptation of the system to your geometry requirements.

TBi Planetary Feeder PF 16 This portable machine can be used as an automatic wire feeder for air- and watercooled TIG welding torches and to supply wire for Laser welding. Wires up to a maximum of 1.6 mm diameter of various materials can be feed. The drive system is based on a rotating planetary head, the same principle as our TBi PowerPull drive systems. This system convinces by its highly dynamical acceleration and minimal slip of the wire. Additionally, the wire is straightened, which should be mandatory for professional cold wire feeders. The TIG welding torch is connected to the front side of the unit. With the controls on the front of the unit, various functions as 2- or 4-stroke operation, intermittant and pulse mode, wire pull-back, etc. can be set. The wire speed is shown on a digital display.
