Welding machine delivers 520 amps with Tier 4 final engine

Lincoln Electric has introduced the Vantage® 520 SD engine-driven welding machine/generator, equipped with a Tier 4 final- (T4F-) compliant engine that meets all new EPA diesel fuel emission standards.

The unit is designed to handle SMAW, GTAW, GMAW, pipe welding, FCAW, and arc gouging. New pulsing capabilities provide improved arc control for out-of-position work and can be used to reduce heat input, resulting in less distortion of the base material, the company states.

ArcLink® allows digital communication with wire feeders like the Power Feed® 25M portable semiautomatic wire feeder and other components. With access to the wire feeder, welding teams can employ memory presets for common repeated welding application procedures, as well as operator limits and lockouts.
