The advantages of AUTOPAK®
• Higher productivity from reduced downtime
• Straight/Twist free wire gives greater accuracy in the joint
• Smaller acceleration weight produces improved arc starting with
less stress on wire-feed unite and less slippage and burn backs
• Fully enclosed pack and pay-off system protects against dust, Cardboard Drum
dirt and moisture
• Compact and manoeuverable makes it easy to use in confined
and restricted locations. Autopak takes up only 0.2m2 of floor
