Power Feed™
10A Controller
ArcLink Controller for Power Wave AC/DC Systems.
Built on the enduring and trusted foundation of the NA-5 controller and the innovations of the
new Power Feed 10M wire feeder, the Power Feed 10A Controller is the next generation in
automatic submerged arc feeding. Designed for use with the Power Wave AC/DC 1000 power
source, the Power Feed 10A eliminates the need for a separate AC and DC controller, making this
powerful hard automation system controllable, adaptable and easy to use. The user-friendly
control panel offers a single-point of control over the entire welding cell, including the Power
Wave's Waveform Control Technology™, delivering an unprecedented level of control over wave
balance, amplitude and frequency.

WHAT IS NEXTWELD®?
Nextweld integrates Lincoln’s technologies, processes and products to create a comprehensive, flexible, user-friendly
welding system that can increase efficiency and reduce fabrication costs.
MSP4 and Memory Panel
Memory panel
Up to six user settings and two procedure settings can be saved and
retrieved using the Memory Panel. Allows the operator to save weld
parameters and set-up options, such as Timers, Start Options, End
Options, AC Controls, etc., before welding begins.
Weld Procedure Limit Controls
The MSP4 panel can be configured to limit the operator’s range of control of weld procedure settings (Wire Feed Speed, Crater Time,
Burnback Time, etc.)
Lockout/Security Controls
Configurations that prevent the operator from changing authorized weld settings can be set at four different lockout levels to provide a
custom level of control.
Mode Select Lockout
Locks START/END Options, AC Controls, Weld Modes and Wave
Options – or various combinations of each.
Memory Panel Lockout
Locks any or all of six memories saved.
Encoder Panel Lockout
Locks either right, left or both control knobs.
Full Lockout
Locks all functions listed above.
Infrared IR Port
Weld Manager™, the Lincoln Electric Palm® OS-based software product, builds upon the usability and efficiency of the Power Feed 10M
user interface design. It offers remote access and availability to system information, set-up, and configuration, allowing you to manage your
Power Wave system from the palm of your hand. The versatile design allows for wireless communication with the Infrared Port on the
Power Feed 10A Controller or through a serial connection and your cradle - the decision is yours.
• Quick and easy user interface set-up that can be transferred
across Power Feed/Power Wave systems.
• Ensure parameters are maintained by locking out numerous
options on the user interface panel.
• Easily set-up the system and ensure repeatability between
multiple cells by transferring memory through a
'back-up'/'restore' or a memory 'clone'.
• Verify current system information right on the production floor.
• Ensure security of the loaded settings through password
protection.
• Any Palm Operating System version 3.5 or higher.

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.
SET-UP OPTIONS (User Preferences)
SETUP
Set-up Mode can store basic user preferences like those listed below, or it can be used to display configurations or
access diagnostic tools.
START ARC FORCE/CRATER ARC FORCE – The Arc Force setting allows the customer to set a specific level of
current during three stages of the welding process.
START: In the start state the arc force sets the starting current for the first 250 mS of the weld. The operator can
control the starting characteristics by adjusting arc force to get a hotter or colder start.
WELD/CRATER: Arc Force is used in these two states to set a specific amount of current if the arc goes into a short.
This setting can be adjusted to create more stable operation during the welding process.
UPSLOPE/DOWNSLOPE TIME – Adjustable time for smooth transition from start to weld and from weld to crater.
RESTRIKE TIME – The time between an electrode short and automatic shutdown – can prevent serious flaws in the
weld. Also shuts off output if the wire stops feeding.
TRAVEL START/END – Start Travel with arc or Start Button strike and End Travel with arc out or Stop Button.

START OPTIONS
STRIKE – Adjustable run-in speed that is used for optimizing arc starting. Set independently of weld wire feed speed.
START – Provides separate welding procedure for an adjustable time at the start of the weld. A Hot Start procedure is
used when penetration is required at the arc start location and when run-on tabs are being used.
WIRE FEED SPEED/AMPS/VOLTS/TIME – Set weld parameters to begin at arc start.
WELD MODE
Choose weld procedure-AC, DC, wire size, consumable type.
AC CONTROL
VARIABLE FREQUENCY – The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 and Power Feed 10A Controller system has the widest
range of wave frequency adjustment (0 – 100 Hz) in the industry. Increase Frequency for a more stable arc and less
penetration; dcrease frequency for more penetration.
VARIABLE BALANCE – By setting the correct wave balance (the ratio between positive and negative waveforms), the
operator has greater control of the welding process. Increase Balance to get more penetration and less deposition;
decrease balance to get more deposition and less penetration.
DC OFFSET (VARIABLE AMPLITUDE) – By setting the correct DC Offset, the operator can define the appropriate
penetration and deposition rate, depending on the application.
PHASE RELATIONSHIP – The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 balances the "push" and "pull" of the arc interactions in a
multi-arc environment by using phase shifting to prevent arc blow and optimize the arc stability of virtually any waveform combination.
END OPTIONS
CRATER – Provides a separate welding procedure for an adjustable time at the end of the weld. A crater fill procedure
is used to regulate the bead width and/or fill the crater at the end of the weld.
BURNBACK – Adjustable control over the time delay between the time that the wire feeding stops and the arc is
extinguished to prevent the wire from sticking in the crater.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Mounting and Motion Controls
The Power Feed 10S series of Automatic Wire Drives are specially designed for hard automation, submerged arc welding. The heavy-duty
gear box and feed plate are well-known in the industry for years of reliable performance. Now featuring a new high-torque, permanent
magnet motor with more power and even more reliable performance under high heat conditions, The Power Feed 10S series wire drives are
the most rugged in the industry.
Single or Tandem Arc
Power Feed 10S (K2370-1)
(3/32 to 7/32 in. solid wire)
The Power Feed 10S is required to mount to a TC-3 undercarriage for
moving parts. It has many axes of rotation for ease of fixturing and locating.
Sturdy feed plate houses knurled drive rolls for positive accurate wire
feeding of large diameter welding wire (includes flux hopper, wire
straightener cross seam adjuster, head mounting hardware, and 2-5ft 4/0
weld cables).
(95:1 Gear Ratio Conversion Kit included.)
Power Feed 10SF (K2312-1)
(3/32 to 7/32 in. solid wire) Use the Power Feed 10SF for fixed hard
automation applications. Fixture mount wire drive assembly includes motor,
gearbox, drive rolls, guidelines and straightener (fixture builder's head with
wire straightener - insulators not included).
(95:1 Gear Ratio Conversion Kit included.)
Power Feed 10S
(K2370-1)
Power Feed
10SF (K2312-1)
TC-3 Travel Carriage (K325S, F, HCS or HCF)
The self-propelled travel carriage carries the wire feed head and Power Feed
10A in either direction on a beam. It can operate manually or automatically with
the weld controls. The TC-3 comes in two speed ranges (S and F) in
standard or high capacity (HC) models. The standard carriage is equipped for
one wire feed head, and the high capacity carriage is for multi-head systems.
• Standard Carriage – K3255S: 5-75 ipm (0.1-1.9 m/min.)
– K3255F: 15-270 ipm (0.4-6.9 m/min.)
• High Capacity Carriage – K325 HCS: 5-75 ipm (0.1-1.9 m/min.)
– K325 HCF: 15-270 ipm (0.4-6.9 m/min.)
Conversion Kit Power Feed 10SM (K2311-1)
For use with NA Series Gear Head. The ArcLink™ motor retrofit is used to
replace existing motor on NA-3/4 OR NA-5 wire feed head.
(95:1 Gear Ratio Conversion Kit included.)
Multiple Arc
Systems Interface (K2282-1)
This external controller is required for multi-arc applications. The arc-to-arc
interaction is controlled by offsetting the phase relationship in 90° increments,
as each arc is added.
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 and Power Feed 10A can easily integrate
into a customer-supplied PLC system. Motion of the TC-3 travel carriage
can be controlled from the PLC, while individual weld controls such as
mode selection, amperage, and voltage are still controlled from the
Power Feed 10A.
