K129 TINY TWINARC® KIT
Twin arc welding is a process where two wires of the
same size are fed through a nozzle by a single wire
drive. The K129-x/xx can be used for wire sizes .045”
through 3/32” (1.0 - 2.4mm).
The gear ratio of the MAXsa™ 22 & 29 WIRE DRI-
VES as shipped is 142:1. This may not provide
enough wire speed for the procedure. Conversion kits
for 95:1 or 57:1 ratio are also shipped with the
MAXsa™ 22 & 29 WIRE DRIVES units. See the
instrucutions included with those kits or in this manual
to change the gear ratio.
Each assembly listed below comes with a wire reel, a
reel brake, shaft and mounting bracket and all of the
wire drive components for the particular wire size.
K129-1/16 .045” thru 1/16” (1.0 -1.6mm) Wires
K129-5/64 5/64” (2.0mm) Wire
