RA50 4R assistive wire feeder (optional)
The AX MIG Welder's RA50 4R assistive wire feeder is a solution for feeding filler wire over long distances from a wire drum or spool to the main wire feeder (R500) in automated welding. The RA50 4R assistive wire feeder automatically synchronizes and balances with all models of the AX MIG Welder’s R500 wire feeders, requiring no additional configuration from the user.
The following are the recommended maximum distances between the main wire feeder and the RA50 4R assistive wire feeder, depending on the filler wire material:
