PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT SUMMARY
The POWER WAVE® S350CE is a portable multi-
process power source with high-end functionality
capable of Stick, DC TIG, MIG, Pulsed MIG and Flux-
Cored welding. It is ideal for a wide variety of materi-
als including aluminum, stainless, and nickel — where
arc performance is critical.
The POWER WAVE® S350CE is designed to be a
very flexible welding system. Like existing Power
Waveʼs, the software based architecture allows for
future upgrade ability. One significant change from the
current range of Power Wave units is that the Ethernet
communication feature is standard on the POWER
WAVE® S350CE which allows for effortless software
upgrades through Powerwavesoftware.com. The
Ethernet communication also gives the POWER
WAVE® S350CE the ability to run Production
Monitoring™ 2. Also a Devicenet option which will
allow the POWER WAVE® S350CE to be used in a
wide range of configurations. The POWER WAVE®
S350CE can easily be upgraded to have advanced
welding process with STT® Module, or have water
Cooled capabilites with the Cool Arc 50 module.
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES AND
EQUIPMENT
The POWER WAVE® S350CE is recommended for
semiautomatic welding, and may also be suitable for
basic hard automation applications. The POWER
WAVE® S350CE can be set up in a number of config-
urations, some requiring optional equipment or weld-
ing programs.
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
The POWER WAVE® S350CE is designed to be com-
patible with the current range of Power Feed™ sys-
tems including future versions of ArcLink® feeders.
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES
The Power Wave® S350CE is a high speed, multi-
process power source capable of regulating the cur-
rent, voltage, or power of the welding arc. With an out-
put range of 5 to 350 amperes, it supports a number
of standard processes including synergic GMAW,
GMAW-P, FCAW, FCAW-SS, SMAW, GTAW and
GTAW-P on various materials especially steel, alu-
minum and stainless.
PROCESS LIMITATIONS
The software based weld tables of the Power Wave®
S350CE limit the process capability within the output
range and the safe limits of the machine. In general
the processes will be limited to .030-.052 solid steel
wire, .030-.045 stainless wire, .035-1/16 cored wire,
and .035 and 1/16 Aluminum wire.
EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS
Only ArcLink compatible semiautomatic wire feeders
and users interfaces may be used. If other Lincoln
wire feeders or non-Lincoln wire feeders are used
there will be limited process capability and perfor-
mance and features will be limited.
