Like the rest of the full-size TPS\/i range, it runs with a separate wire feeder rather than a built-in unit, giving workshops the flexibility to configure and position the system to suit demanding production layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAs with other TPS\/i base units, the TPS 500i requires a Weld Process to be added before it's ready to weld, with MIG Standard Synergic and MIG Pulse Synergic both available as options depending on the process mix required.
