Welding system adds safety for job site, shop environments

Lincoln Electric has introduced the Flextec® 350X multiprocess welding power source for all DC wire, SMAW, and GTAW processes and gouging up to 3/16 in. Engineered for outdoor use and harsh environments, this IP23-rated welding machine features fully protected components.

The unit uses CrossLinc™ technology, a proprietary communications protocol to transfer operator voltage adjustments at the feeder to the power source hundreds of feet away using a common copper weld cable. No additional control cable is required. According to the manufacturer, the result is greater safety, quality, and productivity for job site and shop environments.

With an output of 5 to 425 amps, the machine is rated at 300 amps, 32 V at 100 percent duty cycle or 350 amps, 34 V at 60 percent duty cycle. The compact, portable model weighs 77 lbs.
