OPERATION
WARNING
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The POWERBrazer is a specially engineered wire
feeder for brazing materials. As part of a patent
pending process, the POWERBrazer brings
productivity and efficiency gains to brazing
customers. A simple press of a button on the gun
feeds brazing wire at a controlled speed.
The heart of the POWERBrazer is the 2 roll
MAXTRAC™ drive. The patented features on the
wire drive offer tool-less changing of the drive rolls
and wire guides for quick spool changes. A
tachometer controlled motor powers the patent
pending drive rolls for smooth, steady feeding
without slippage.
With only one printed circuit board, the
POWERBrazer is designed to be simple, reliable
and easy to service.
