Waveform Control Technology®
Driving Superior Welding Performance
Lincoln’s Waveform Control Technology controls and shapes the output waveforms (or
weld modes) to adapt to virtually any application, material or weld position. In addition,
you can have our Application Engineering department add or customize standard
waveform programs or request Lincoln Wave Designer™ software to build or
customize waveform progams yourself.

WHAT IS NEXTWELD ® ?
Nextweld integrates Lincoln’s technologies,
processes and products to create a comprehensive,
flexible, user-friendly welding system that can
increase efficiency and reduce fabrication costs.
Waveform Control Technology™ and digital communications provide the foundation for Nextweld innovations
like Pulse-On-Pulse™, Power Mode™, STT® and ArcLink®.
Look for Nextweld for ultimate arc control, high
efficiency/reliability and seamless system integration.
Power Mode reduces spatter and
improves bead appearance, even
for 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
MIG welding performance, including low spatter, very uniform,
consistent bead wetting and controlled penetration. Power
Mode benefits are especially apparent on low voltage applica-
tions on thin steel and stainless steel material less than 20
gauge (0.7 mm). It also delivers excellent arc characteristics on
aluminum and other alloys such as silicon bronze and nickel
alloys.

Pulse-On-Pulse ™ uses a sequence of varying pulse wave shapes
to produce a TIG-like bead appearance and excellent weld properties
when MIG welding aluminum. Pulse-On-Pulse controls arc length and
heat input together, making it easier to achieve good penetration.
