198130 - Miller XR-30W Water-Cooled Push-Pull Gun, 30ft, 400A

Industrial Grade Aluminum Welding Solution

The Miller XR-30W Pistol Grip Gun (SKU: 198130) is a high-performance, water-cooled push-pull MIG gun engineered for heavy industrial manufacturing. Designed specifically to address the challenges of feeding soft aluminum wire, this system works in conjunction with Miller XR-Control wire feeders to provide a reliable solution for shipbuilding, railcar construction, and high-purity processing applications. With a robust 100% duty cycle at 400 Amps, the XR-30W is built to withstand the rigors of continuous welding environments where air-cooled models may overheat or falter.

Precision Feeding Technology

At the core of the XR-30W is a sophisticated push-pull mechanism that synchronizes with the wire feeder to eliminate wire buckling and bird-nesting, common issues when feeding soft alloys like 4043 or 5356 aluminum over long distances. The gun supports wire diameters ranging from .030 to 1/16 inch (0.8 to 1.6 mm). The 30-foot (9.1 meter) cable assembly provides exceptional reach, allowing operators to access large weldments without constantly relocating the power source or feeder. The internal components are constructed for longevity, ensuring feeding precision remains consistent over the life of the tool.

Maintenance and Compatibility

Miller has designed the XR-30W with serviceability in mind. The feed cable liner is fully replaceable, allowing for a simple and cost-effective maintenance procedure that does not require replacing the entire cable assembly. This feature significantly reduces parts costs and service downtime. The gun is compatible with standard consumables, accepting both single-turn FasTip™ and Bernard® Centerfire™ contact tips, making inventory management easier for shops already utilizing these common Miller consumables. The quick-disconnect feature ensures fast setup and breakdown, streamlining operations in dynamic shop environments.
