WHAT IS NEXTWELD®?

Nextweld integrates Lincoln’s technologies, process- es and products to create a comprehensive, flexible, user-friendly welding system that can increase efficiency and reduce fabrication costs. Waveform Control Technology™ and digital communications

provide the foundation for Nextweld innovations like Pulse-On- Pulse™, Power Mode™, STT® and ArcLink®. Look for Nextweld products for ultimate arc control, high efficiency/reliability and seamless system integration.

Waveform Control Technology™

Driving Superior Welding Performance

Lincoln’s Waveform Control Technology controls and shapes the output waveforms (or weld modes) to adapt to virtually any application, material or weld position. In addition, you can have our Application Engineering department add or customize standard waveform programs.

For more information see Nextweld Document NX-1.10

Waveform Control Technology

Ultimate arc control — Many aspects of the waveform may be varied as a function of time in order to customize the arc exactly to your specifications.

Dynamically controlled output — Arc Current, Voltage or Power may be controlled and regulated automatically so adjustments and corrections are made as they arise.

Different parts of the waveform and wire feed speed may be modulated at varying rates to accomplish a constant average condition (Constant Voltage, Constant Current, etc.).

System Interface

Waveforms are easily changed through graphical interface

Variable Frequency – Control Arc Stability

The Power Wave AC/DC 1000™ has the widest range of wave fre- quency adjustment (10 - 100 Hz) in the industry. Adjust frequency with the turn of a knob to maximize arc stability.
