Power MIG®

. The Professional’s ChoiceSM

When you need more than just a IG machine, the Power IG®350 P is

the choice for you. Lincoln Chopper Technology®delivers more welding

processes— IG and flux-cored, along with excellent stick welding, TIG and

advanced processes such as Power ode™and Pulse-on-Pulse®. In addition,

future waveforms of special or improved welding processes can be down-

loaded into the Power IG, making it expandable. This means the welder

you buy today won’t be obsolete tomorrow. Factor in the simplicity and

sophistication of synergic control, and you’ll agree—no other power

source in this category offers so much!

Lincoln Nextweld®Innovations for Challenging Applications

Waveform Control Technology®makes it possible to take advantage of Lincoln innovations like these patented processes using the

Power M G®350MP power source:

Pulse-On-Pulse™on 3 mm Aluminum

Pulse-On-Pulse™uses a sequence of varying pulse wave shapes to produce

a T G-like bead appearance and excellent weld properties when M G welding

aluminum. Pulse-On-Pulse™controls arc length and heat input together, making

it easier to achieve good penetration.

For more in ormation see Nextweld ®Document NX-2.10

Power Mode reduces spatter and

improves bead appearance,

even or low voltage

procedures on stainless.

Power Mode aids bead

wetting and penetration

on aluminum.

Power Mode®uses high-speed regulation of output

power to deliver extremely fast response to changes in

the arc, for example, when using a whip technique. The

result is improved M G welding performance, including

low spatter, very uniform, consistent bead wetting and

controlled penetration. Power Mode benefits are especially

apparent on low voltage applications on thin steel and

stainless steel material less than 20 gauge (0.7 mm). t

also delivers excellent arc characteristics on aluminum

and other alloys such as silicon bronze and nickel alloys.

(Peak)

Pulsed MIG varies weld current between peak (high heat)

and background (low heat) current to provide better control of

heat input, which minimizes warping and burnthrough on thin

materials. Pulsed M G also enables flat, horizontal, vertical up,

or overhead welding without a slag system. t can be used in

hard automation, robotic, and high production semiautomatic

applications. Optimized GMAW-P waveforms are readily avail-

able to use on aluminum, carbon steel, high strength low alloy

steel, stainless steel, and nickel alloys.

For more in ormation see Nextweld ®Document NX-2.70

Synergic MIG

Synergic control of voltage and wire feed speed allows you

to set weld procedures with only one control for simplicity

and ease of use.

Set the wire feed speed and your voltage is automatically

set. Override the setting with the voltage/trim control for

personal preference.

1. Use one

knob to set

procedures.

2. Voltage is auto-

matically set.

Key Controls

Easy to use controls for high productivity and accurate settings.

A. Continuous WFS/Amps Control – n wire feed welding, adjusts

wire feed speed. n stick or T G modes, adjusts amperage.

B. Continuous Volts/Trim Control – Adjusts voltage when M G

welding. Adjusts the arc length (trim) when Pulse-M G welding.

Professional’s Choice – weld with traditional manual control or take

advantage of the included MSP3 digital panel for high tech weld

features:

1. Weld Mode – Many synergic modes to select from for simple

one-knob control.

2. Preflow – Adjustable timer to initiate gas flow before the arc.

3. Post-Flow – Further protect your weld integrity by automatically

setting the gas to run a few seconds after the trigger is released.

4. Run- n – Adjustable speed at which wire strikes the plate to

enhance starting.

5. Start Procedure – Set start procedure, wire feed speed and volts

for an adjustable starting time.

6. Arc Control – Set arc control to crisp or soft depending on your

preference and application. n pulsed M G, this control varies

the pulse frequency and background current. n Stick mode, it

adjusts the arc force.

7. Crater Control – Adjusts the ending weld procedure and ramp

down time.

8. Burnback – Adjustable time delay between turning off the arc

and the wire feed to prevent wire sticking to the puddle.

9. Spot Timer – Adjustable arc time for repetitive tack and spot

welds.
