A double wire feeder controller is the two-wheel version of an automatic wire feeder for handheld fiber laser welding guns. It holds two wire spools instead of one, and can run them individually or feed both together into the weld pool, giving you more flexibility per setup than a single feeder allows. SparesZone stocks the SUP Double Feeder Controller for 1.5kW, 2kW, and 3kW handheld welding machines, as well as 4-in-1 machines that combine welding, cutting, cleaning, and weld-seam cleaning in one gun.

Shops usually step up from a single feeder to a double feeder for one of two reasons: they switch between two wire types or diameters often enough that re-spooling eats into production time, or they're filling wider seams and larger gaps that one wire alone struggles to fill cleanly. The SUP double feeder handles both cases - load two different wires and switch between them with a setting change instead of a spool change, or run both wires together for a wider, faster fill on thicker joints. It costs more than a single feeder and takes a little longer to set up, but for shops running mixed-material or higher-volume welding, it earns that back in reduced downtime.
This page covers the SUP double feeder controller (double wire feeder) for fiber laser welding machines, including compatibility with 1.5kW, 2kW, and 3kW handheld machines, use with 4-in-1 welding, cutting, and cleaning machines, and how a double feeder compares with a single feeder controller.
The SUP Double Feeder Controller pairs two independently driven wire wheels with adjustable feed control, built to run alongside 1.5kW-3kW and 4-in-1 handheld fiber laser welding guns. Here's what the extra wheel gets you:
The Double Feeder Controller is available for 1.5kW, 2kW, and 3kW handheld fiber laser welding machines - the same power range as the single feeder controller - and it also works with 4-in-1 machines that switch between welding, cutting, cleaning, and weld-seam cleaning. It only manages wire feed during the welding step, and plays no part in cutting or cleaning modes. Match the variant to your machine's rated power so the feed-speed range suits your typical job.
| Machine Power | Typical Welding Use | Feeder Fit |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5kW | Light fabrication, frequent wire-type changes | Double feeder, standard wire diameters |
| 2kW | General fabrication, wider seams | Double feeder, standard to mid wire diameters |
| 3kW | Thicker sheet, high-volume production | Double feeder, full feed-speed range, simultaneous feed |
| 4-in-1 (Weld / Cut / Clean / Seam-clean) | Multi-process shops needing wire flexibility | Double feeder active only in welding mode |
Before you order, confirm your machine's exact power rating and control connector. Two machines rated at the same power can still use slightly different connectors across manufacturing batches, so our team checks this against your machine details before dispatch rather than after.
A double feeder earns its cost wherever a shop needs more from its wire feed than one wheel can give - mixed materials, wider seams, or high-volume runs. Typical settings include:
Two independently driven wire wheels, individual or simultaneous feed modes, standard reel compatibility on both sides, and a control unit built for 1.5kW-3kW and 4-in-1 handheld guns.
Cuts changeover time between wire types, fills wider seams and larger gaps in fewer passes, keeps production moving on mixed-material jobs, and reduces the downtime that adds up from constant spool swaps on a single feeder.
A double feeder is worth the extra cost when your work actually uses the second wheel. Work through these steps before you order:
Both feed wire into the weld pool automatically, but they solve slightly different problems. The double feeder is the higher-capability option - worth it when you switch wire types often or need a wider, faster fill; the single feeder stays the simpler, lower-cost choice for general single-material work.
| Parameter | Double Feeder Controller | Single Feeder Controller |
|---|---|---|
| Wire Wheels | Two, independent | One |
| Setup Complexity | More involved | Simple |
| Cost | Higher | Lower |
| Best For | Wider seams, thicker material, mixed-wire jobs, faster deposition | General fabrication, single-material jobs |
| Wire Changeover | Switch between two loaded wires | Manual spool swap |
With two feed lines instead of one, small issues on either wheel can go unnoticed longer if you're not checking both. A few habits keep both sides running consistently:
It feeds filler wire into the weld pool from two independent wire wheels instead of one, and you can run them one at a time or together. That lets you switch wire type without re-spooling, or combine both wires for a wider, faster fill on thicker joints.
Yes. It's offered for 1.5kW, 2kW, and 3kW handheld fiber laser welding machines, matching the same power range as the single feeder controller. Confirm your machine's exact power rating and control connector when ordering, since interfaces can vary slightly between machine batches.
Yes. On a 4-in-1 machine, the double feeder only runs during the welding step and stays idle for cutting, cleaning, and seam-cleaning, since those modes don't use filler wire. Switch the gun's nozzle and lens for each function, and the feeder is ready again once you're back in welding mode.
Yes - that's the main reason shops choose it. You can load two different wire types, diameters, or materials, such as stainless and mild steel wire, and switch between them with a setting change instead of physically swapping spools, or feed both together where the job calls for it.
If you mostly weld one wire type and don't need extra fill capacity, a single feeder covers it at a lower cost. Move to a double feeder if you switch wire types often, weld wider seams or thicker material, or want to cut the downtime that comes from frequent spool changes.
Each wire wheel typically handles common MIG-style diameters between roughly 0.8mm and 1.6mm, using drive rollers sized to that wire. The two wheels can run different diameters at the same time, which is part of what makes switching between jobs faster than on a single feeder.
It's built by SUP, the same manufacturer behind our single feeder controller, so both share a consistent control layout and connector style. SUP's double feeder is built specifically for handheld fiber laser welding machines rated 1.5kW, 2kW, and 3kW.
It's built for handheld fiber laser welding guns in the 1.5kW-3kW range, but the physical connector and control signal need to match your specific machine. Share your machine's brand, power rating, and approximate age when you enquire, so we can confirm fit before you order rather than after.
Pricing depends on the power variant, current stock, and order quantity, so we don't fix a single number here. It costs more than a single feeder controller given the extra wheel and wiring. Request a quote through the form on this page, or contact our team directly for current rates.
Match drive rollers to wire diameter on both wheels, clean both wire paths regularly, and check spool tension on each side to prevent tangling. Replace contact tips on both feed lines once they wear enough to affect smoothness, since the two sides can wear at different rates depending on use.
In most cases, yes, since both run on the same gun and machine platform. You'd replace the feeder unit rather than modify it, so it helps to tell us upfront if an upgrade is part of your plan - we can flag anything on your current setup that might affect the swap.
Yes. Our team can help you connect the feeder to your welding gun and control box, set independent feed speeds for both wheels, and load both spools correctly. Reach out over WhatsApp or phone after your order for setup guidance specific to your machine model.
Yes. We stock the Double Feeder Controller for dispatch across India from our Ahmedabad facility, and we work with fabrication shops, job-work units, and OEMs on both single-unit and bulk orders. Contact us with your location and quantity for a delivery timeline and quote.
Tell us your machine's power rating - 1.5kW, 2kW, 3kW, or 4-in-1 - and whether you need individual or simultaneous wire feed, and we'll confirm the right double feeder controller for it, with current pricing and dispatch timelines for your location across India.
