Digital Communications
Fast, Reliable, System-Wide
ArcLink is the leading digital communications protocol for the arc welding industry. It integrates all welding
components for seamless, time-critical data transfer. The strength of ArcLink lies in the ability to communicate with each
system component in a pre-defined welding language. In addition, ArcLink is an open communications protocol, meaning
that Lincoln Electric publishes how it works and encourages other companies to adopt it.

Pulsed MIG varies weld current between peak (high heat) and
background (low heat) current to provide better control of heat
input, which reduces warping and burnthrough on thin materials.
Pulsed MIG also enables in-the-flat, horizontal, vertical up, or
overhead welding without a slag system. It can be used in hard
automation, robotic, and high production semiautomatic applica-
tions. Optimized GMAW-P waveforms are readily available to use on
aluminum, carbon steel, high strength low alloy steel, stainless steel,
and nickel alloys.

STT® (Surface Tension Transfer®) is a
controlled GMAW short circuit transfer process
that uses current controls to adjust the heat
independent of wire feed speed, resulting in
superior arc performance, good penetration,
low heat input control, and reduced spatter
and fumes. STT is especially well-suited for
steel and stainless steel applications.

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 control for personal preference.
1. Use one
knob to set
procedures.
2. Voltage is
automatically set.
