Power Wave® 455M Robotic &
Power Wave® 455M/STT Robotic 
The Next Generation . . .
The Power Wave 455M Robotic is a high performance, digitally controlled inverter power source designed for robotic, hard automation and semiautomatic applications. It is designed to be part of a modular, multi-process welding system that can be arranged in a variety of ways for optimum, customized performance and easy maintenance. Optional DeviceNet™ and Ethernet communication modules provide networking capabilities and allow the power sources to communicate with other industrial machines to create a highly integrated and flexible welding cell. Available as a standard model or with Lincoln’s STT® process for applications in which heat input control, minimal distortion, reduced spatter and low fumes are essential.

Advantage Lincoln
•Program your own waveform or choose from over 60 standard welding waveform programs that offer a broad range of electrode size, type and shielding gas combinations to give you optimal appearance, penetration, beadshape and travel speed for each application.
•Modular design enables robotic, hard automation and semiautomatic applications using a single machine platform.
•Optional communication modules provide networking capabilities via DeviceNet or Ethernet.
•Utilizes ArcLink™ - the leading digital communication protocol for welding, making it the best choice for seamless, time critical integration to the power source and networked equipment.
•Software based controls can be upgraded as new features become available.
•Process and production monitoring with access to real time (500Hz) feedback such as arc current, voltage and wire feed speed. Access to internal data acquisition (10KHz) and access to real time machine status such as fault/alarm conditions and arc time.
•A Power Wave inverter operates at a high efficiency (88-90%) with a 95% minimum power factor(1) and is capable of operat-
ing from a universal input voltage (208 to 575 volts).
•Power Wave 455M/STT features Lincoln’s Surface Tension Transfer® Process, which controls heat input for great penetration and reduced spatter and fumes.

PERFORMANCE
•The Power Waves contains a large library of welding programs or “weld modes.” Each weld mode is a specific software program that defines the output characteristics of the power source for simple processes like Stick and TIG to more complex processes like Synergic MIG (GMAW) and Pulsed MIG (GMAW-P). Weld modes were developed to handle a broad range of applications. They may be tuned to a specific electrode type, electrode diameter,
gas type or application.
•All Power Waves share a common digital control platform to maximize interoperability, interchangeability and compatible software tools.
Nextweld
Lincoln's Power Wave power sources are equipped with Nextweld innovations that offer seamless system integration, high efficiency and reliability, and outstanding arc control. Here are just a few of Nextweld's technologies and processes that are standard with this machine.
•Waveform Control Technology™ controls and shapes the output waveform. Optimizes metal transfer to reduce spatter and improve stability. Simplifies process selection and controls heat input.
•Surface Tension Transfer (STT)(1) is a Waveform Control process that uses current controls to adjust the heat independent of wire feed speed, provides low heat input without overheating or burning through. Distortion, spatter and smoke are reduced.
•Power Wave Robotic Welding Systems feature weld mode selection, PRE-FLOW, RUN-IN, ARC CONTROL, BURNBACK, POST-FLOW and CRATER that provide the operators full control over the welding procedure and sequence.
•Synergic welding eliminates the need to independently set the wire feed speed and voltage. Synergic welding automatically sets both voltage and pulse characteristics based on the wire feed speed.
WHAT IS NEXTWELD™?
Nextweld incorporates Lincoln's technologies, processes and products to create a technologically advanced arc welding platform. Waveform Control Technology™, power electronics and digital communications provide the foundation for Nextweld innovations, including Surface Tension Transfer®, Pulse-On-Pulse™,
