MAXsa™ 10 CONTROLLER
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
GENERAL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
• The MAXsa™ 10 CONTROLLER is a user interface
and a feeder controller. The control is used to set
all welding parameters and control any travel mech-
anisms. High-speed digital cables connect the con-
trol, wire drive, and the Power Wave power source
together.
• The MAXsa™ 10 CONTROLLER is a self-con-
tained control box designed to control the entire
weld arc at one location.
• The user interface utilizes alphanumeric displays
for advanced text messaging providing the end
user with an intuitive interface allowing for easy set
up and real-time control of all welding parameters.
• An eight button memory section has been included
which provides easy storage and recall of stored
welding parameters.
• The user interface can be removed from the control
box and connected as a Pendant for remote control
near the arc.
GENERAL FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
• The MAXsa™ 10 CONTROLLER is one of the most
versatile user interfaces ever created. Easy to use
features make it a snap to adjust the arc for specific
preferences.
• The user interface brightly displays essential weld-
ing information. Use it to quickly adjust weld set-
tings, arc starting parameters, arc end parameters
and set-up information.
• The memories allow for up to eight weld schedules
to be stored and quickly recalled. The user inter-
face allows for multiple levels of limits and lockouts.
• Digital communications to the power source provide
the most accurate and reliable operation possible.
• When the MAXsa™ 10 CONTROLLER is coupled
to the Power Wave
®
AC/DC 1000 SD welding
power source, the result is a welding system with
the best arc performance on the market.
