The Lincoln Electric LN-25X Wire Feeder (K4267-2) represents a significant leap forward in portable wire feeding technology, specifically engineered for the rigorous demands of construction, shipbuilding, and structural fabrication. This unit is designed to solve the age-old compromise between portability and control. Traditionally, field welders had to choose between simple "across-the-arc" feeders that lacked remote control or cumbersome systems requiring fragile, expensive control cables. The LN-25X eliminates this trade-off by utilizing Lincoln's proprietary CrossLinc Technology.
CrossLinc Technology is the core innovation of the LN-25X. It allows the wire feeder to communicate voltage settings to a CrossLinc-compatible power source directly through the standard copper weld cable. This means operators can adjust their voltage at the point of use—hundreds of feet away from the power source—without needing a separate control cable. This reduction in cabling not only lowers equipment costs but significantly improves job site safety by reducing tripping hazards and clutter. For industrial operations, this translates to faster setup times and fewer equipment failures due to damaged control cords.
In addition to CrossLinc, the LN-25X features True Voltage Technology (TVT). In long cable runs common in field erection, voltage drop is a persistent issue that can compromise weld quality. TVT automatically measures the voltage at the arc and dynamically adjusts the power source output to compensate for the resistance in the leads. This ensures that the voltage you set on the feeder is exactly the voltage you get at the weld, guaranteeing consistent penetration and bead profile regardless of the distance from the machine.
Built to withstand harsh environments, the LN-25X is housed in a flame-resistant, impact-absorbing case that fully encapsulates the internal components. The PC boards are potted to protect against moisture, dust, and corrosion, ensuring longevity even in offshore or humid conditions. The Maxtrac Wire Drive System utilizes a heavy-duty cast aluminum mechanism to deliver reliable feeding performance for both solid and flux-cored wires. This specific model (K4267-2) comes equipped with a Tweco-style input connector and does not include a flowmeter, allowing for customization based on existing shop equipment standards.
