GENERAL INFORMATION
The PATON Feeder-15-2/15-4 digital wire feeder is designed to work in conjunction with an external welding
source in semi-automatic welding mode. The power source supplies the welding current, and the wire feeder
provides a stabilized feed of solid or cored wire into the weld pool.
The feeder has its inverter source to power the motor, safety gas valve and control circuitry. What sets the
PATON feeders apart is the very powerful, high-quality and sealed metal wire feeder and the KZ-2 EURO
type connector, which has become a world standard, allowing the user to later change the torches as desired.
A safety gas valve is built into the unit.
When the feeder is in operation, its internal digital control board receives signals from the KZ-2 connector of
the torch button and turns on the safety gas valve at the right moment, then, with a preset delay, signals to
turn on the power supply, then turns on and stabilizes the speed of the wire feed motor. After the welding
process is finished, every unit is turned off in reverse order with the necessary delays. Everything is set by
default to optimum parameters.
The unit is highly optimized to work with PATON sources and will require minimal time for user adaptation,
as the mating spots for connectors and installation are already provided in the design.
