PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

PRODUCT SUMMARY

The POWER WAVE® R350 is a portable multi- process power source with high-end functionality capable of DC TIG, MIG, Pulsed MIG and Flux-Cored welding. It is ideal for a wide variety of materials including aluminum, stainless, and nickel — where arc performance is critical. The Power Wave® R350 includes an integrated wire drive module and 14-pin MS-Style connection to support the PF-10R, and Auto Drive 4R100/4R220.

The POWER WAVE® R350 is designed to be a flexi- ble welding system. Like existing Power Waveʼs, the software based architecture allows for future upgrades. ArcLink® communication is supported through the standard 5 pin MS-style interface. The new ArcLink®XT communication protocol is supported through an RJ-45 type Ethernet connection, which also provides access for the Power Wave Utilities soft- ware tools. The Ethernet communication also gives the POWER WAVE® R350 the ability to run Production Monitoring™ 2. Also Available is a Devicenet option to allow the Power Wave® R350 to be used in a wide range of configurations. The POWER WAVE® R350 is being designed to be com- patible with advanced welding modules like STT.

Access to remote voltage sensing is available through the 4 pin sense lead connector (work and electrode), at the feeder via the 14 pin MS-style connector (elec- trode only), or at the 5 pin MS-style ArcLink® connec- tor (electrode only).

RECOMMENDED PROCESSES AND EQUIPMENT

The POWER WAVE® R350 is recommended for robotic and semiautomatic welding. The POWER WAVE® R350 can be set up in a number of configurations, some requiring optional equipment or welding programs.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

The POWER WAVE® R350 is designed to be com- patible with the current range of Power Feed™ and Auto Drive systems including future versions of ArcLink® feeders.

RECOMMENDED PROCESSES

The POWER WAVE® R350 is a high speed, multi- process power source capable of regulating the cur- rent, voltage, or power of the welding arc. With an out- put range of 5 to 350 amperes, it supports a number of standard processes including synergic GMAW, GMAW-P, FCAW, FCAW-SS, GTAW and GTAW-P on various materials especially steel, aluminum and stainless.

PROCESS LIMITATIONS

The software based weld tables of the POWER WAVE® R350 limit the process capability within the output range and the safe limits of the machine. In general the processes will be limited to .030-.052 solid steel wire, .030-.045 stainless wire, .035-1/16 cored wire, and .035 and 1/16 Aluminum wire.

EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS

Only ArcLink compatible robotic wire feeders, semiau- tomatic wire feeders and users interfaces may be used. If other Lincoln wire feeders or non-Lincoln wire feeders are used there will be limited process capabili- ty and performance and features will be limited.
