Device concept The WF 25i REEL sa / 2R unreeling wire-feed unit is an extra drive unit that is not syn-
chronised with the power source in the welding system; its purpose is to ensure constant
and precision wirefeeding over large wirefeeding distances between the welding wire
drum and the robot wire-feed unit.
The unreeling wire-feed unit is equipped with a 2-roller drive.
Power is supplied through a separate mains cable, and the unit is controlled either
manually or optionally by means of robot control.
Application area All indoor and automated MIG/MAG applications.
Proper use The device is designed exclusively for wirefeeding in automated MIG/MAG welding
applications in conjunction with Fronius system components. Any use above and beyond
this purpose is deemed improper. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any dam-
age arising from such usage.
Utilisation in accordance with the intended purpose also comprises:
- carefully reading these operating instructions
- following all the instructions and safety rules in these operating instructions
- performing all stipulated inspection and maintenance work
