Perfectly Tuned for Pipe Welding Applications - The Activ8X Pipe Wire Feeder is the ideal field solution for GMAW and FCAW welding applications out on the pipeline. With weld processes specifically optimized for cross country pipe welding, the Activ8X Pipe allows you to take Lincoln Electric’s industry-leading root-to-cap weld processes – including STT® and Pulsed MIG – right out to the field. In addition, the rugged and compact design provides durability to withstand the harshest conditions, from mud and rain, to extreme heat or cold, delivering the reliability you need to perform in the toughest welding applications.

Features

  • Cable View™ Technology - Continuously monitors cable inductance and adjusts the waveform to maintain consistent arc performance without the need for an additional sense lead.
  • Memory Options - Easily store and select up to four memories for quick process change between root, fill, and cap passes.
  • 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.
  • Excellent Arc Performance - Optimized arc performance designed specifically for root-to-cap pipe welds, including STT (Surface Tension Transfer®) Field and CV/Pulse modes for excellent sidewall fusion, backbead reinforcement, and overall bead profile.
  • Tweco style connections
  • Optimized Weld Modes - Loaded with weld modes optimized specifically for field pipe welding applications, the Activ 8X Pipe delivers fine-tuned weld modes for maximum performance based on the industry's common filler metal, wire diameters, and gas mixtures.
  • 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.
  • CrossLinc® Technology – Enables voltage or current control at the arc without a control cable to help improve safety, quality, and productivity with less trips to the power source and reduced jobsite clutter.
  • True Energy® Technology - Allows for accurate measurement and calculations of total energy instantaneously throughout the weld.
  • Accepts up to 8 in. (203 mm) diameter wire spools.
