The VR 5000 is intended to be used in conjunction with Fronius\u2019s TransSteel Mig\/Mag power sources. With a splash-proof, flame-retardant plastic housing, skid runners and strain-relieved connectors it is designed for rough use in hostile environments. The case protects the unit against getting caught, stuck or jammed while being used, and features a recessed control panel for safety and protection. The unit weighs less than 10kg for portability, and with interconnecting hosepacks up to 70m in length for gas-cooled welding systems, it can be used over a wide radius of action.<\/p>\n
The VR 5000 Case is designed to be used with a 5kg wirespool of 200mm diameter; after the spool is changed, the wire is automatically advanced, and a four-roller drive ensures constant wire travel during welding. Fronius offers the feeder unit in configurations for water or gas-cooled welding, and a synergic version that lets welders refer to integrated welding information about material characteristics.<\/p>\n
An optional gas-flow regulator allows users to set and control the flow of shielding-gas from the feeder unit, while the VR 5000 Case can be ordered with an electrode socket at the rear, for rod-electrode welding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
