You are a welder who isn't afraid to get your hands dirty, and you need equipment that matches your grit. The ESAB RobustFeed AVS is engineered for the toughest environments on the planet. Whether you are working in civil construction, repairing railcars, or building ships in a damp shipyard, this wire feeder is designed to keep going where others fail. It is ESAB's most durable, ergonomic, and high-performing wire feeder to date, offering a completely enclosed design that protects your filler metal from the elements.
The "AVS" stands for Arc Voltage Sensing, making this unit incredibly versatile. It pairs seamlessly with any Constant Voltage (CV) or Constant Current (CC) welding power supply, giving you the freedom to connect to the fleet of welders you already have on-site. The unit features a Tweco® connector, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of MIG guns. Note that this specific model (0446700882) is supplied without a flowmeter, allowing you to use your existing gas regulation equipment or configure it to your specific site requirements.
Portability and durability are the core of the RobustFeed design. The housing is drop-proof and weatherproof, capable of withstanding rain from all directions. This ensures that your wire stays dry and your feed remains smooth, even when the weather turns against you. The ergonomic handles make it easy to lift and move around the job site, reducing fatigue and increasing efficiency.
Inside the rugged shell lies a new precision wire drive system. The four-roll drive mechanism provides consistent feeding results, which is critical for maintaining arc stability and weld quality. Changing rolls is a breeze; the quick-change system allows you to swap wire sizes without needing any tools, reducing downtime significantly. Plus, the integrated digital meters for Voltage and Wire Feed Speed (WFS) give you instant feedback, ensuring your parameters are dialed in for critical welds.
