Semi-automatic machine having a wide control range of welding parameters is designed for all-position gas-shielded arc welding at constant current in the protective gas environment with a consumable electrode with solid or flux-cored wire of low-alloyed and alloyed steels, as well as corrosion-resistant (stainless) steels in argon gas atmosphere. The semi-automatic machine is equipped with welding rectifiers КИГ-401, КИУ-501 and КИГ-601.
The wire feed mechanism is mounted in a compact open-type casing together with a wire reel magazine, controls and a gas cutoff.
ПДГ-508М is produced in two versions: with 2-roller and 4-roller wire feed attachment.
The electric motor of the wire feed reduction gear of 100W is used, which ensures reliable uniform feeding of both solid and flux-cored welding wires. Smooth regulation of welding voltage by the power source КИГ-401, КИГ-601 (switch).
