Making Fillet Welds with Power Wave AC/DC 1000™ System

Welding Guide

Now from Lincoln - the power to increase productivity with Power Wave technology!

Lincoln Power Wave technology based upon the new Power Wave AC/DC 1000™ power source provides the opportunity to significantly lower the cost of making fillet welds and at the same time, makes many of the issues that cause weld defects

a thing of the past. In some respects, the Power Wave AC/DC 1000™ describes both a new generation of equipment and

a new technology for controlled welding.

Now, from a single power source it is possible to choose the very best type of arc characteristic for the particular job at hand. The Power Wave AC/DC 1000™ system allows the choice of the appropriate voltage-current relationship at the mere “flick

of a switch”.
