OVERVIEW

The Lightest, Toughest Feeder for the Job Site

When you are welding hundreds of feet away from your power source or squeezing through a tight manway on a ship, you need equipment that doesn't hold you back. The Lincoln Electric Activ8X Wire Feeder (K3519-1) is the lightest construction feeder on the market, weighing in at just 27.5 pounds. Its compact size allows it to go wherever you go, while the ergonomic handle makes transport easy. But don't let the light weight fool you—this feeder is built like a tank. The flame-retardant case can take a beating, and the potted electronics are sealed against the damp, dirty conditions of real-world job sites.

Control at Your Fingertips with CrossLinc

Stop wasting time walking back to your welder to adjust your settings. With the Activ8X and a CrossLinc-enabled power source, you have full control of your voltage and amperage right at the feeder. The best part? You don't need an extra control cable. The signal travels right through your welding lead. This means fewer cables to drag, fewer cables to break, and more time spent burning wire. Whether you are up on a beam or deep in a hull, you get the adjustments you need instantly.

Consistent Welds Every Time

Long leads often mean voltage drops, which can mess up your arc and your weld quality. The Activ8X solves this with True Voltage Technology (TVT). It smart-senses the voltage drop and adjusts automatically, so the heat you set is the heat you get. Combined with Lincoln's legendary Maxtrac wire drive system, you get smooth, reliable feeding for both MIG and Flux-Cored wires. The split wire guides prevent birdnesting and make cleaning a breeze, keeping you welding longer with less downtime.

FAQ

CrossLinc Technology allows the wire feeder to communicate voltage and amperage control signals to the power source using the existing welding power cable, eliminating the need for a separate remote control cord.

To utilize the remote control features of CrossLinc, a CrossLinc-enabled Lincoln Electric power source is required. However, the Activ8X can still function as a standard voltage-sensing wire feeder with most DC welding power sources.

The Activ8X accepts wire spools up to 8 inches (203 mm) in diameter.

The unit weighs approximately 27.5 lbs (12.5 kg), making it the lightest construction feeder in its class.

TVT automatically compensates for the voltage drop that occurs over long welding cables, ensuring that the voltage at the arc matches the setting on the feeder.

Yes, the Activ8X is designed for both MIG (GMAW) and Flux-Cored (FCAW) welding processes.

It supports solid wire from 0.023 to 0.052 inches and cored wire from 0.035 to 5/64 inches.

No, the K3519-1 package includes the feeder and input connectors but does not include a welding gun. It requires a Tweco-style gun connection.
