1.1 DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
The DuraDrive 4-30 is a 4 roll drive 42 vac wire feeder with the ability to meet immediate and long term welding requirements
of any weld shop. It's "Modular Design" technology permits simplicity and exibility without unnecessary conguration
and installation complexity. The DuraDrive control panels (MMI or Man/Machine Interface) can be easily replaced (plug and
play) with optional panels having more functionality and features.
The DuraDrive 4-30 wire feeder will handle most welding applications using short arc, spray and pulsed spray arc MIG (GMAW,
GMAW-P & MCAW) welding or cored wire (FCAW ) welding with a variety of welding power sources.
