Lincoln Activ8X Pipe CE Wire Feeder (Twist Mate/Dinse) K5240-1

Lincoln® Activ8X® Pipe™ CE Wire Feeder (Twist Mate™/Dinse®) K5240-1

The Lincoln® Activ8X® Pipe™ CE Wire Feeder (Twist Mate™/Dinse®) is an advanced field MIG wire feeder that has pulsed MIG and STT® (Surface Tension Transfer®) capabilities. The advanced features of this feeder also include built-in CrossLinc® technology, which allows the Activ8X Pipe to communicate directly with a CrossLinc® equipped Lincoln welder through the welding leads, eliminating the need for costly remote-control cables. CrossLinc® remote control distance is limited only by the length of your welding cable leads. CrossLinc® allows your MIG or Flux-Cored welding operation to take place further away from the welding power source and reduces downtime and costs by giving the operator full remote voltage AND amperage control capabilities at the site of the weld, without using expensive remote-control cables.

The Activ8X Pipe comes standard with patented Cable View™ technology, which continuously monitors cable inductance and adjusts the waveform to maintain consistent arc performance without the need for an additional voltage sensing lead. The Activ8X Pipe wire feeder has up to a 330 amp welding capacity. It features Lincoln's MAXTRAC® wire drive system to ensure smooth wire feeding and excellent electrical contact with your welding gun.

Features:

Excellent Arc Performance - Perfectly Tuned for Pipe Welding
Optimized arc performance designed specifically for root-to-cap pipe welds, including STT Field and CV/Pulse modes for excellent sidewall fusion, back bead reinforcement, and overall bead profile.

Ultimate Control
Full control over the weld process can be easily made right at the wire feeder - no need to waste time walking back to the power supply for adjustments.

Rugged & Portable Design
Built on Lincoln Electric’s proven portable feeder platform, the Activ8X Pipe delivers a lightweight, yet dependable solution that can withstand the extreme conditions of field construction applications.

Straightforward Setup
From truck to ditch, setup is fast and easy. Connection between the Activ8X Pipe and power source is as simple as two standard quick-connect weld cables.

CrossLinc® with TVT™ technology
CrossLinc® uses the existing weld cable to communicate voltage control information between the feeder and Lincoln® CrossLinc® power source. This eliminates the need for a separate remote-control cable. TVT™ (True Voltage Technology) automatically compensates for voltage drops commonly associated with long welding cable runs.
