AC/DC Submerged Arc Welding

Improves Productivity, Quality and Safety

For over 50 years, Lincoln Electric has offered its Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) customers high deposition rates, reliable penetration, and smooth bead appearance.

Now, Lincoln brings you the first advance in SAW technology that provides the option of variable polarity. Changes in the balance of positive and negative polarity of the AC waveform enable the operator to change penetration and deposition, without changing the current or voltage settings.

Lincoln’s AC/DC Submerged Arc process with the Power Wave power source gives the operator real-time control. Instead of making a weld, stopping and re-programming the new parameters, and running a test weld to make sure they worked, changing the face of a weld is as easy as turning a knob.

The Power Wave® AC/DC 1000™ takes Submerged Arc Welding to the next level. In addition to conventional benefits of SAW, such as high deposition rates and good penetration, heightened control and faster responses to the arc are unique to the design of the Power Wave® AC/DC 1000™.

MODULAR

The Power Wave AC/DC1000 is designed for easy paralleling, overcoming the problems typically associated with synchronization of AC waveforms for increased amperage applications.

MULTI-ARC

AC/DC welding is designed for applications that require up to five independently controlled welding arcs.

EASY INTEGRATION

Digital Communications provide a simple solution for the integration of the welding power source to the motion controlling Programmable

Logic Controller (PLC).

INCREASED PROCESS CONTROL

Digital Communications also enable the use of software tools to record the actual welding values for each weld as well as monitoring the status of the welding system.

WAVEFORM CONTROL TECHNOLOGY

The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 is equipped with factory-programmed procedures for fast setup.
