WHAT IS NEXTWELD ® ?
The challenges facing industrial fabricators
today are growing in number and
complexity. Rising labor, material and
energy costs, intense domestic and global
competition, a dwindling pool of skilled
workers, more stringent and specific quality
demands all contribute to a more difficult
welding environment
today.
Through our
commitment to
extensive research
and investments
in product
development,
Lincoln Electric
has established an
industry
benchmark for
applying
technology to improve the quality, lower the
cost and enhance the performance of arc
welding processes. Advancements in power
electronics, digital communications and
Waveform Control Technology
® are the
foundation for many of the improvements.
NEXTWELD ® brings you a series of Process,
Technology, Application and Success Story
documents like this one. NEXTWELD
®
explains how technologies, products,
processes and applications are linked
together to answer the important questions
that all businesses face:
• How can we work faster, smarter, more
efficiently?
• How can we get equipment and people
to perform in ways they’ve never had to
before?
• How do we stay competitive?
NEXTWELD ® is the future of welding but its
benefits are available to you today. Ask your
Lincoln Electric representative how to
improve the flexibility, efficiency and quality
of your welding operations to reduce your
cost of fabrication.

Lincoln Welding Systems featuring STT ® (cont.)
Invertec ® STT ® II
The STT ® II combines high frequency inverter technology
with advanced Waveform Control Technology ® in place
of traditional short-arc GMAW welding. The STT ® II’s
precise control of the electrode current during the entire
welding cycle significantly reduces fumes, spatter and
grinding time. In addition, the unit offers independent
control of wire feed speed and current.
Power Wave ® 455M/STT/Power Feed TM 10M Dual
The Power Wave ® 455M/STT is a digitally controlled inverter power
source capable of complex, high-speed waveform control. It is
designed to be part of a modular, multi- process welding
system. By installing various modular options, the power
sources can be reconfigured to be used in robotic or hard
automation systems, and can communicate with other
industrial machines to create a highly integrated and flexible
welding cell. This product features Lincoln Electric’s STT
®
process for applications in which heat input control, minimal
distortion, reduced spatter, and low fumes are essential.
Power Wave ® 455M/STT Power Feed TM 10R
Robotic
The Power Feed TM 10R is a high performance, digitally
controlled, modular wire feeder designed to be a part of
a modular, multi-process welding system. It is specifically
designed to mount to a robot arm or to use in hard
automation applications. This four drive roll feeder operates
on 40VDC input power and is designed to be used with
ArcLink™ Robotic Power Waves
® . This product features
Lincoln Electric’s STT ® process for applications in which
heat input control, minimal distortion, reduced spatter, and
low fumes are essential.

Test Results Disclaimer
Test results for mechanical properties, deposit or electrode composition and diffusible hydrogen levels were obtained from a
weld produced and tested according to prescribed standards, and should not be assumed to be the expected results in a particular
application or weldment. Actual results will vary depending on many factors, including, but not limited to, weld procedure, plate
chemistry and temperature, weldment design and fabrication methods. Users are cautioned to confirm by qualification testing,
or other appropriate means, the suitability of any welding consumable and procedure before use in the intended application.
