Power Feed 10R Wire Feeder

Compact Wire Drive System for Automation

The Power Feed 10R is a high performance, 
digitally controlled wire feeder designed to be a part 
of a modular, multi-process welding system. It is
specifically designed to mount to a robot arm or to 
use in hard automation applications. Modular systems
can be arranged in a variety of ways for optimum, 
customized performance and easy maintenance. This
four drive roll feeder operates on 40VDC input power
and is designed to be used with ArcLink™ Robotic
Power Wave

power sources. Close integration of 

the feeder, power source and existing equipment 
creates the foundation for a system with superior 
welding performance and reliability.

Patented Drive Roll System

The Power Feed 10R is a basic wire feeder with an
optimized design, which consists of an industrial motor
driving the feeder mechanism in a sheet metal frame.
The logic for controlling the wire feeder resides in a
PC board inside the robotic power source.

Tandem MIG

High-Speed and High-Deposition Welding

Lincoln Welding Systems Featuring Tandem MIG

Advantage Lincoln

• Digitally controlled by the Power Wave power source,

yielding the best performance in the industry.

• Use with Lincoln power sources featuring ArcLink, the

leading digital communications protocol for welding, 
making it the best choice for seamless integration with 
the power source and networked equipment.

• Tachometer feedback provides calibrated and precise 

control of wire feed speed.

• Feeder brakes from maximum speed to zero in 

milliseconds, minimizing the chance of wire sticking 
in the puddle.

• Select standard or high speed gears for wide wire 

feed speed range.

• Split wire guides provide trouble-free feeding and 

offer fast, tool-less wire installation, changeover 
and maintenance.

• Easy-to-read gauge for accurate drive roll tension.

• Brass-to-brass connections for good connectivity 

between feeder and gun.

• Modular construction for easy servicing.

• Self loading wire feature for easy set-up.
