STT® (Surface Tension Transfer®) is a controlled GMAW short circuit transfer process that uses current controls to adjust the heat independent of wire feed speed, resulting in superior arc performance, good penetration, low heat input control, and reduced spatter and fumes. STT is especially well-suited for steel and stainless steel applications.

Synergic MIG

Synergic control of voltage and wire feed speed allows you to set weld procedures with only one control for simplicity and ease of use.

Set the wire feed speed and your voltage is automatically set. Override the setting with the voltage control for personal preference.

1. Use one knob to set procedures.

Digital Communications

Fast, Reliable, System-Wide

® ArcLink is the leading digital communications protocol for the arc welding industry. It integrates all welding components for seamless, time-critical data transfer. The strength of ArcLink lies in the ability to communicate with each system component in a pre-defined welding language. In addition, ArcLink is an open communications protocol, meaning that Lincoln Electric publishes how it works and encourages other companies to adopt it.
