GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Power Wave semi-automatic power source is designed to be a part of a modular, multi-process welding system. Depending on configuration, it can support constant current, constant voltage, constant power and pulse welding modes. The Power Wave power source is designed to be used with the semi automatic family of Power Feed wir[...]

POWER WAVE 405 – Semi-Automatic Operation Semi Automatic Power Waves can only be used with Linc-Net compatible Power Feed semi-automatic wire feeders. In addition, the Power Feed semi-automatic wire feeders may require optional equipment to access certain weld modes in the Power Wave. Other models of Lincoln feeders, or any models of non- Lincoln[...]

The steps for operating the Power Wave will vary depending upon the options installed in the user inter- face (control box) of the welding system. The flexibility of the Power Wave system lets the user customize operation for the best performance. First, consider the desired welding process and the part to be welded. Choose an electrode material, d[...]

CONST ANT VOL T AGE WELDING Synergic CV : For each wire feed speed, a corresponding voltage is preprogrammed into the machine through special soft- ware at the factory. The nominal preprogrammed volt- age is the average voltage for a given wire feed speed, but may be adjusted to preference. When the wire feed speed changes, the Power Wave automati-[...]

B-5 OPERA TION B-5 PULSE WELDING Pulse welding procedures are set by controlling an overall "arc length" variable. When pulse welding, the arc voltage is highly dependent upon the waveform. The peak current, back ground current, rise time, fall time and pulse frequency all affect the voltage. The exact voltage for a given wire feed speed [...]
