OVERVIEW

Dedicated Industrial Aluminum Welding Solution

The Miller AlumaFeed 450 Welding System (951557) is a comprehensive package designed specifically for the rigors of heavy industrial aluminum fabrication. At the core of this system is the AlumaPower™ 450 MPa power source, an inverter-based machine capable of delivering 450 amps at 100% duty cycle. This power source is engineered with synergic technology, allowing for communication between the power source, the wire feeder, and the gun to optimize arc performance specifically for aluminum alloys.

Advanced Synergic Control

The system features Synergic Pulsed MIG capabilities. When the operator adjusts the wire feed speed, the system automatically adjusts the pulse parameters (voltage, background amps, frequency) to maintain a stable arc. This significantly reduces setup time and ensures consistent weld quality across different operators. The included XR-AlumaFeed™ is a heavy-duty industrial feeder designed to work in tandem with the push-pull gun to deliver soft aluminum wire (4000 or 5000 series) over long distances without buckling or bird-nesting.

Complete Water-Cooled Package

This SKU is a complete turnkey solution. It includes the Coolmate™ 3 cooling system and the XR-Aluma-Pro™ water-cooled push-pull gun with a 25-foot cable. Water cooling is essential for high-amperage aluminum welding to prevent gun overheating and ensure consumable longevity. The package also comes mounted on a MIGRunner™ cart with a cylinder rack, making the entire heavy-duty system mobile within the shop environment. The system supports wire diameters from 0.035" to 1/16", covering a vast range of material thicknesses found in shipbuilding, trailer manufacturing, and aerospace applications.

FAQ

The XR-Aluma-Pro push-pull gun features a motor in the torch handle that works in sync with the wire feeder motor. This maintains constant tension on soft aluminum wire, effectively eliminating friction issues and 'bird-nesting' (tangling) that occur with standard push-only systems.

Yes, the AlumaPower 450 MPa is an industrial power source that typically operates on 3-phase input power (230/460V or 575V depending on the specific wiring setup) to deliver its rated 450A output.

Profile Pulse is a Miller-exclusive technology that modulates the weld output to create a TIG-like bead appearance (ripple pattern) while MIG welding. It helps with bead aesthetics and can aid in puddle control without requiring complex torch manipulation.

Yes, SKU 951557 is a complete package that includes the Coolmate™ 3 water cooling system, which is integrated into the cart setup to cool the torch.

While the power source is capable of welding steel, the XR-AlumaFeed and XR-Aluma-Pro gun are specifically optimized for aluminum. Welding steel would typically require changing liners, drive rolls, and potentially the gun to a standard MIG gun, although the system is sold as a dedicated aluminum solution.

The system is designed to handle aluminum wire diameters ranging from 0.035 inches (0.9 mm) to 1/16 inches (1.6 mm).

Synergic Pulsed MIG means the machine controls the pulse parameters (peak amps, background amps, frequency) automatically based on the wire feed speed set by the operator. This simplifies setup and ensures a stable arc without needing to manually tune complex pulse settings.
