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.

FEATURES

A Closer Look

Power Feed 10A Control Panel

The Power Feed 10A control panel controls and monitors the advanced capabilities of the Power Wave AC/DC 1000 in a single, simple, easyto-understand user interface display panel. The Power Feed 10A communicates using ArcLink, and can easily integrate with custom controls and PLCs, in multiple configurations.

Dual Display Dual Encoder Panel

1. Wire feed speed (WFS) or amps.

2. Voltage

3. Arc Established Indicator - illuminates when a true arc has been established.

4. Status LED - indicates system component ArcLink communication

status. Normal operation is a steady green light.

Switch Panel

1. START – Starts the weld sequence, using strike controls.

2. STOP – Stops the weld sequence, using crater/burnback controls.

3. INCH – Up/Down. Inches wire up or down without welding current

4. FLUX FILL– Activates flux hopper.

5. TRAVEL– Controls motion in either manual or automatic modes.

Remote Pendant - The switch panel can be removed and used as a handheld pendant for remote control.

PERFORMANCE

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.
