951673001 - Miller Continuum Dual Wire Feeder 500A

Advanced Industrial Wire Feeding Technology

The Miller Continuum™ Dual Feeder (MIL951673001) is a high-performance industrial component engineered specifically for use with Miller Continuum™ 350 and 500 power sources. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy manufacturing and fabrication, this feeder utilizes a 50 VDC input to deliver a robust welding output of 500 Amps at a 100% duty cycle. Central to its performance is Miller's proprietary Tru-Feed™ technology, which significantly enhances productivity by ensuring superior weld quality through precise wire delivery. This system minimizes common feeding issues, allowing for greater system flexibility and operator confidence.

A key technical advancement in this unit is the new low-inertia motor. Unlike traditional motors, this component provides a faster response time, resulting in the best possible arc starts with the least amount of spatter. This precision is critical for applications requiring high aesthetic standards or minimal post-weld cleanup. The feeder supports a wide range of wire diameters, from .035 to 5/64 inches (0.9-2 mm), and offers a versatile wire feed speed range of 50 to 1,000 inches per minute. The dual-feeder configuration is particularly advantageous for facilities that require frequent switching between different wire types or sizes, effectively eliminating changeover downtime.

Mechanical reliability is ensured through a balanced-pressure drive-roll design and tensioners that feed wire in its truest and straightest form. This design choice directly correlates to better feedability and consistent welding performance. Furthermore, the unit features a tool-less, positive-locking rotatable drive assembly. This allows the operator to rotate the drive mechanism to eliminate severe bends in the wire feed path, thereby extending gun-liner life and aiding in the feeding of difficult wires. The Spring-loaded Accu-Mate™ connection aligns the gun perfectly in the drive-roll carrier, preventing the gun from being pulled loose and ensuring consistent electrical contact. Compatible with AccuLock S consumables, this feeder is a comprehensive solution for optimizing industrial welding operations.
