Welding Machine

The Lincoln Electric Company offers a welding machine, Model Power Wave AC/DC 1000, the first power source to introduce waveform control technology to submerged arc welding. Variable frequency and amplitude AC, DC positive or DC negative output allows the user to control the deposition rate and penetration. An operator can increase weld speeds, yield higher quality welds and improve efficiencies in a single or multi-arc environment. The phase angle and frequency of different machines can also be synchronised to balance the interactions between multiple arcs and minimize arc blow. Depending on the output, a welding arc may be driven by a single machine or multiple machines in parallel for applications that require more than 1000 A of continuous operation. Advantage: eliminates downtime with easy polarity switching ? no hardware reconfiguration required; stable and independent arc controls for multiple arc applications; improved efficiency and reliability with cooler operation through patented coaxial transformer technology; 95% power factor correction enables connection of more machines on the same plant infrastructure for lower installation costs compared to other machines; remote process monitoring and control through ArcLink, Ethernet, and DeviceNet communication; consistent operation over ?10% input voltage variation through built-in line voltage compensation and reliable input voltage connection; and manufactured under a quality system certified to ISO 9001 requirements and ISO 14001 environmental standards.
