The INWELT LB250 MIG Spool Gun is a gas-cooled welding gun featuring an integrated wire-spool holder and gun-mounted wire-feeding assembly. It is designed for compatible MIG/MAG welding applications, particularly those requiring more controlled feeding of aluminum and other welding wires that can be difficult to feed through a conventional long torch liner.
The LB250 is rated at 200A with CO₂ shielding gas and 180A with mixed shielding gas at a 60% duty cycle. It supports welding wire diameters from Ø0.8 mm to Ø1.2 mm and is available with 3 m, 4 m, 6 m and 8 m cable assemblies.
Unlike a conventional MIG welding torch that receives wire through a long cable liner from a remote wire feeder, a spool gun carries a small wire spool close to the welding gun. Its local feeding mechanism delivers wire through a shorter feed path near the torch head.
This configuration can help reduce wire-feeding resistance and the risk of wire buckling when the equipment is properly set up.
INWELT supplies the LB250 MIG spool gun and matching replacement components for welding equipment distributors, OEM brands, importers and industrial buyers.
The following specifications are based on the standard INWELT LB250 product listing.

Important: The published electrical ratings refer to the specified CO₂ and mixed-gas operating conditions. For aluminum MIG welding with argon-based shielding gas, the allowable current and duty cycle should be confirmed for the intended application.
The welding gun model number does not establish an automatic 250A continuous or rated output.
A MIG spool gun places the welding wire supply close to the torch feeding mechanism.
During operation, the gun-mounted feeding assembly draws welding wire from the installed spool and delivers it through the short internal wire path to the contact tip.
The welding current is transferred through the contact tip to the continuously fed electrode wire, while shielding gas is directed toward the weld area through the gas nozzle.
The LB250 features a spool holder mounted on the welding gun body.
The spool is positioned near the feeding mechanism rather than at a distant wire feeder.
This arrangement reduces the length of wire that must be pushed through a liner before reaching the contact tip.
It can be especially useful when feeding relatively soft welding wires, including aluminum wire, provided that the drive roll, contact tip, shielding gas and welding parameters are correctly selected.
Although both systems can improve welding wire delivery, a spool gun and a push-pull MIG gun use different feeding arrangements.
| Feature | MIG Spool Gun | Push-Pull MIG Gun |
|---|---|---|
| Wire Supply | Small spool mounted on the gun | Usually supplied from a remote spool |
| Wire Feeding | Gun-mounted feeding assembly | Coordinated feeder and gun-mounted pull motor |
| Wire Path | Short local feed path | Wire travels through a longer cable system |
| Common Application | Aluminum and specialized MIG welding | Aluminum welding where remote wire supply is required |
| Equipment Requirements | Compatible spool-gun power and control interface | Compatible push-pull feeder and control system |
The INWELT LB250 should be identified as a MIG spool gun based on its integrated spool-holder configuration. Push-pull functionality should only be specified when the complete drive system has been technically verified.
The LB250 has the following published ratings:
200A with CO₂ shielding gas
180A with mixed shielding gas
60% duty cycle
Duty cycle describes the permitted arc-on time at the rated current under specified test conditions.
At a 60% duty cycle, the standard reference is six minutes of welding during a ten-minute operating period at the applicable rated load.
The correct operating current must be selected according to the shielding gas, welding procedure and thermal requirements.
The LB250 supports Ø0.8–1.2 mm welding wire.
This stated range describes the torch's supported wire diameters. The drive roll, contact tip and other feeding components must be configured for the specific wire material and diameter.
For aluminum welding, confirm the correct feeding components for the selected aluminum wire.
For steel or stainless steel welding, verify the drive system and shielding-gas requirements before use.
The LB250 is available with four cable lengths:
3 m
4 m
6 m
8 m
Cable length should be selected according to the workstation layout, reach requirements and compatible welding equipment.
Because the spool gun carries its wire supply near the torch, its wire-feeding arrangement differs from that of a conventional MIG torch supplied from a remote feeder.
However, longer cable assemblies still require correct electrical connections, trigger wiring and cable management.
The LB250 includes a gun-mounted spool assembly, allowing welding wire to be supplied directly from the spool installed on the gun.
The correct spool dimensions, mounting arrangement and permissible spool weight should be confirmed before ordering replacement wire spools.
The LB250 uses replaceable front-end MIG welding consumables, including a gas nozzle, contact tip and gas diffuser.
The standard parts list identifies a 25AK-type front-end configuration.
For maintenance and repeat purchasing, replacement parts should be selected by verified size, thread and product reference.
The LB250 is intended for applications that include compatible aluminum MIG welding.
Aluminum welding wire is generally softer and more susceptible to feeding problems than conventional solid steel welding wire.
A spool gun reduces the distance between the wire spool and the welding gun's feeding mechanism, making it a useful configuration for some aluminum MIG welding applications.
A spool gun can help address several common wire-feeding challenges:
Wire buckling inside a long liner
Excessive feed resistance
Inconsistent wire delivery
Wire deformation caused by unsuitable drive-roll pressure
Feeding difficulties associated with soft aluminum wire
The result still depends on the complete welding system, correct wire selection and appropriate setup.
Common aluminum MIG filler wire families include ER4043 and ER5356.
The appropriate filler metal should be selected according to the base material, required mechanical properties and qualified welding procedure.
Before using a particular aluminum wire with the LB250, verify:
Wire diameter
Drive-roll groove and size
Contact-tip specification
Spool dimensions
Feed mechanism compatibility
Shielding gas
Welding power source settings
Aluminum MIG welding commonly uses argon-based shielding gas, with the specific gas selected according to the welding procedure.
CO₂ shielding gas should not be treated as the standard shielding gas for aluminum MIG welding.
The LB250's published CO₂ and mixed-gas current ratings must not be interpreted as a separately verified current rating for every argon-based aluminum welding procedure.
Confirm the permitted operating conditions for the selected shielding gas and application.
Correct wire-feeding configuration is essential to spool gun performance.
Before purchasing welding wire for the LB250, confirm the spool diameter, hub dimensions and mounting requirements.
Spool size and capacity should be verified against the actual LB250 reel assembly.
Do not assume that any small MIG welding wire spool will fit the gun.
The drive roll must match the welding wire diameter and material.
For soft aluminum wire, an appropriate groove design and feed pressure help reduce wire deformation.
For other welding wires, a different drive-roll configuration may be required.
Excessive drive pressure can deform soft wire, while insufficient pressure may cause slippage.
The contact tip must correspond to the welding wire diameter and front-end configuration.
The LB250 standard parts list includes an Ø1.0 mm E-Cu contact tip with M6 × 28 dimensions.
For Ø0.8 mm or Ø1.2 mm wire, confirm the corresponding contact-tip size and bore specification.
The LB250 spare parts list includes a short liner identified as 4.0 × 2.0 × 200 mm.
Replacement liner dimensions and material should match the corresponding feeding arrangement.
The correct liner should be selected based on the actual torch assembly rather than the cable length alone.
