The Lincoln Electric Magnum PRO AL Pistol Grip MIG Gun (K3478-1) is a specialized air-cooled push-pull torch designed to optimize aluminum welding operations. Engineered for industrial environments, this 15-foot gun system addresses the common challenges associated with feeding soft aluminum wire. By integrating a motor within the gun handle that works in concert with the welder's wire drive, the push-pull technology significantly reduces friction in the wire feed path. This results in smooth, consistent feeding and minimizes damage to the wire, such as shaving or birdnesting, which are frequent causes of downtime in aluminum fabrication.
Rated for 220 Amps at 60% duty cycle with Argon shielding gas, the K3478-1 is built for performance and reliability. The gun features a lightweight, ergonomic pistol grip handle that is balanced to fit comfortably in either hand, reducing operator fatigue during extended welding sessions. A recessed adjustment dial located at the rear of the handle allows for convenient wire speed adjustments without the risk of accidental changes during operation. Maintenance is streamlined with a removable drive roll cover for easy access to the drive system and a Quick-Change Liner that can be accessed simply by removing the liner nut.
This model utilizes standard Magnum PRO expendables, specifically the 550A series, allowing for inventory consolidation across different gun models. It comes equipped with a 12-pin connection for direct compatibility with Lincoln Electric welders and wire feeders. The package includes the gun, a gun tube (KP3541-180), and a starter kit of contact tips and drive rolls for 0.035-inch and 3/64-inch wire diameters.
