OVERVIEW

Industrial Precision for Aluminum Fabrication

The Miller XR-S Control (300601) is a robust push-pull wire feeder designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial manufacturing and fabrication. Engineered specifically for aluminum welding applications, this unit resolves common feeding issues associated with soft wires. By utilizing a push-pull design, the XR-S provides a continuous push force from the feeder while the gun motor controls the speed at the contact tip. This synchronized operation ensures accurate, positive wire feed speed without the risk of wire shaving or deformation, which is critical for high-quality aluminum welds.

Advanced Motor Control

At the heart of the XR-S is Miller's True Torque Feed Motor. This system delivers consistent torque to drive the wire through the liner, maintaining stable feed speeds even when the gun cable is curved or manipulated. The unit supports a wide wire feed speed range of 50 to 900 ipm (1.3 to 22.9 m/min), allowing for versatility across various material thicknesses and welding parameters. It is rated for a substantial 400 Amps at 100% duty cycle, making it suitable for heavy-duty industrial environments where downtime is not an option.

Operational Efficiency

The XR-S Control is equipped with features designed to enhance productivity and weld quality. The Adjustable Wire Run-in Control allows operators to fine-tune the speed at which the wire approaches the workpiece before the arc is struck, reducing wire stubbing and arc flaring. Additionally, the Wire Jog Control facilitates the threading of wire through the gun cable without energizing the weld output, ensuring safety and convenience during setup. Compatible with 12-inch spools, this feeder is an essential component for aerospace, shipbuilding, and commercial truck manufacturing sectors.
