ProStar™ Conduits
Advance Your Wire’s Delivery
Linde's feed systems for ferrous & non-ferrous materials, including tubular wires
Linde's Easy Glide™ reduced-friction wire conduit saves you time and money.
- Conduit design provides twist-free, low-drag 24/7 wire delivery.
- Automatic switch-over device aids in continuous production and around-the-clock wire supply.
- Improves efficiency and profitability.
Fits Your Operation
Place your welding wire in any convenient place without impacting feed ability and welding performance.
Frees up floor space near your robotic welder for improved ergonomics.
Other Delivery Options
Aside from Linde's EasyGlide system, we can provide traditional conduit options to better aid in your operation’s wire delivery.
4 Reasons why you should equip your automated welding system with ProStar™ conduit.
- Reduce burn-backs – ProStar conduits reduce pull tension issues that are associated with weird wire burn-backs at the contact point
- Reduce weld necking – ProStar conduits minimize uneven pull tension between the resting stat and slack consumption, which is the cause of weld necking just after the weld starts
- Reduce over-welding – ProStar conduits reduce pull tension to help improve your weld accuracy and precision, further decreasing the need to over-weld.
- Facilitate wire farms – For high productivity weld cells and multiple shifts per day, a wire farm that incorporates ProStar wire and Linde's 24/7 feed system can eliminate wire changeouts and downtime.
