VR 1500 robot wirefeeder VR 1550 robot wirefeeder
Owing to its modular design, the robot wirefeeder can be extended as needed (e.g. Robac-
ta Drive, gas purging, torch support etc.)
The VR 1500 is available with different wire speeds:
- 11 m/min (433.07 ipm.)
- 12 m/min (472.44 ipm.)
- 22 m/min (866.14 ipm.)
- 30 m/min (1181.10 ipm.)
The VR 1550 is available with a wire feed speed of 22 m/min.
The motor plate and control unit can be installed and operated independently of each oth-
er. The control unit, however, must be earthed/grounded separately.
Application area The robot wirefeeder is specially designed for fitting to the robot arm and can be used in
conjunction with the TS 4000 / 5000, TPS 3200 / 4000 / 5000 power sources. The robot
wirefeeder is suitable for all standard shielding gases.
The VR 1500 - 11 and VR 1500 - 12 are also used for flux core wire applications.
The VR 1500 - 12 is primarily used for complex wirefeeding applications requiring a high
degree of torque:
- solid flux core wires up to 2.3 mm (0.13 in.) on large spools
- solid flux core wires up to 2.3 mm (0.13 in.) in welding wire drums
The VR 1500 - 30 is also used for flat wire applications.
In particular, the VR 1500 - 11, VR 1500 - 12 and VR 1500 - 30 are also used in conjunction
with the high performance TS / TPS 7200 and TPS 9000 power sources.
