OVERVIEW

Smooth Feeding for Superior Welds

Keep your UF-4000 wire feeder running like new with the Tweco 406397 Inlet Wire Guide. As a professional welder, you know that feedability is everything. If your wire isn't entering the drive rolls at the correct angle, or if a worn guide is adding unnecessary drag, you will experience micro-stoppages, burn-backs, and an unstable arc. This inlet guide is the dedicated solution for aligning the wire path before it hits the drive rolls.

This component is situated at the rear of the feeder assembly. It bridges the gap between the wire conduit/spool and the drive roll assembly. A worn guide can cause the wire to wander or shave, creating debris that clogs liners and guns. By replacing this inexpensive part, you ensure that the wire travels in a straight, low-friction path, allowing your drive rolls to grip effectively without deforming the wire.

Installation is straightforward and requires minimal tools, making it an easy field repair. Don't let a small grooved guide compromise your weld quality. Ensure your Tweco UF-4000 is equipped with a fresh inlet guide to handle the demands of daily fabrication.

Features

  • Direct Replacement: specifically engineered for the UF-4000 chassis.
