POWER SUPPLY - POWER UP
The SMARTFEED M-4 robotic wire feeder has been designed to work exclusively with the NEOPULSE range:
- NEOPULSE 500 G
(ref. 014503)
- NEOPULSE 400 G
(ref. 014497)
- NEOPULSE 320 C
(ref. 062474)
+ HMI remote option possible

To change the rollers, proceed as follows:
- Loosen the rollers (a) to the maximum and lower them.
- Unlock the rollers by turning the retaining rings (b) a quarter turn.
- Fit the appropriate drive rollers for your application and lock the retaining bands.
The rollers supplied are double steel groove rollers (1.0 and 1.2).
- Check the marking on the roller to ensure that the rollers are suitable for the diameter of the wire
and the material of the wire (for a Ø 1.2 wire, use the Ø 1.2 groove).
- Use rollers with V-groove for steel and other hard wires.
- Use rollers with U-slots for aluminium and other soft alloy wires.
