  • Air Pressure Gauge, Regulator Knob, and Speed Controls are mounted at the top of the machine for easy monitoring adjustment.
  • Water-cooled transformer, arms and electrodes. Epoxy resin coated transformer for maximum protection.
  • Adjustable electrode stroke enables access to a greater range of parts.
  • Chromium-copper electrode holders are designed for long life and heavy-duty service. May be mounted at 12° and 90° positi in the arm. Optional Universal-Style arms are available exclusively from WSI for 1” diameter electrode holders, and for mount the electrode holders at 30° and 90°.
  • Adjustable throat depth enables maximum flexibility.
  • Ergonomic frame for long term operation in production environments.
  • WSI Exclusive Standard Low-Profile Lower Holder enables accessing parts as small as 3” diameter.
  • Single Foot Pedal (standard).

  • Arm depth is adjustable by up to 12.6” (320mm) depending on your working requirements.
  • Adjustable Drop Arm Assembly, Option 6030, is available on all models. Note that larger arm gap reduces available welding current. The greater the spacing between the arms, the lower the welding current available at the electrodes.
