WF-100 Capstan Wire Feeder

WF-100™ Capstan Wire Feed System

  • The Computer Weld Technology's Capstan Wire Feed System is light weight (5 '/2 lbs. without a torch) and designed for use with robotic and welding fixture applications. The patented Capstan System gives you the ultimate in affordable wire feed technology and reliability.
  • The CWF-100 produces a slip free positive driving force to the filler wire without damaging the wire surface and provides exceptional feeding of the "soft" wires such as aluminum and copper.
  • The Capstan drive wheel plastically deforms the wire removing previous cast and, using an outboard wire straightener, directs the wire to the exact desired location in the weld joint.
