Power Wave®i400

DVANTAGE LINCOLN

• Flexible Design - Designed for simple, seamless integration with the

FANUC®Robotics R-30iA Controller, or use as a separated configuration to meet your weld cell requirements.

• Quality and Consistent Welding Results - Lincoln’s Waveform Control

Technology application – that means the arc has been optimized for each wire type and size for exceptionally smooth arc performance.

• High Performance Digital Communications - High speed digital

communication via ArcLink ArcLink Ethernet cable.

• Best in Class Power - 10-420 amps output delivers the power you need

for a wide range of processes and materials, with no derating for pulse waveforms.

• Ready to Perform - Auxiliary outlet offers flexibility to add fume extraction,

water cooler, computer or other accessories quickly and easily.

DESIGN FEATURES

• Industry best 120 kHz inverter:

- Operates at a high efficiency and (.95) power factor at rated output.

- Capable of operating from a universal input voltage (208 to 575 volts).

• Fan-As-Needed™ (F.A.N.) - reduces power consumption and the amount of debris that gets drawn into the machine by shutting the fan down when it is not needed.

• Engineered Power Distribution:

- Single power drop saves time and cost.

- 3 phase input power supplied to robot

- 115VAC, 15 amp capacity auxiliary duplex receptacle to power

• Recessed connection panel for protection against accidental impact.

• External access to controller mounting hardware.

gives you the ability to select the right waveform for each

XT™, the ArcLink®protocol can be communicated over an

protocol, a CAN connection or now the

controller via dedicated reconnect block.

optional water cooler, fume extraction, grinder, and computer.

What is Coaxial Transformer Technology™?

Coaxial Transformer Technology™ eliminates inefficiency and power loss. Regardless of the size (power level) a coaxial transformer has superior coupling and efficiency. This is obtained through the coaxial orientation of the primary and secondary windings.

The benefits for the customer include:

• Higher power capabilities with a less complex design.

• Higher efficiency (reduced energy costs).

• Higher reliability (lower stresses on components).

• Proven reliability.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

• Removable left side panel permits easy access to internal components for routine maintenance or repair, even when integrated in a robotic cell.

• Panel mounted status LED indicators allow for quick and easy troubleshooting.

• Lockable on/off power switch on power source for controller/robot for maintenance purposes (power must be disconnected at the wall).

• Mechanical connection to R-30iA Controller accessible from exterior of Power Wave

i400 for easy removal of controller.

• Full support of Lincoln Electric Diagnostic Utility software for easy troubleshooting through the Teach Pendant.

AutoDrive™4R90

ADVANTAGE LINCOLN

• Integrated Design - Designed to “nest” in the upper arm of the FANUC Robotics ARC Mate®100iC arm.

• Durable and Rugged - Patented MAXTRAC

wire drive is precision cast

aluminum designed to provide reliable feed force.

• Ease of Use - Unlike competitive models, no tools are required for drive roll, wire guide or pressure arm adjustment.

• High Performance - Brass-to-brass gun connections provide more reliable electrical connectivity and more efficient energy transfer.

• Best in Class Torque - Results in faster acceleration and reliably pulls wire through conduit.

• Precise Control - Dual spring pressure arms offer clear-cut adjustment for optimizing pressure for different wire types.

• Welding Results - High resolution tachometer for accurate wire feed speed control.

• Optimized Robotic Solution - Compact, lighter weight packaging maximizes robot acceleration performance and throughput.
