Lincoln Electric is pleased to announce a significant addition to our advanced submerged arc equipment systems.

Lincoln's new Power Wave® AC/DC 1000® SD power source and MAXsa™ controllers and feed heads comprise a complete and flexible system offering several welding performance and operational advantages over the existing Power Wave® AC/DC 1000® platform.

Whether the application is bridge decking, pressure vessels, panel lines, seamers, pipe mills, integrator solutions or robotic submerged arc welding, these components will help you configure a complete solution for your customers.

What's New
Enhanced Arc Performance
Expanded waveform library will increase welding productivity.
Improved arc starts and arc stability.
Improved AC arc performance on high inductive loads.
Robotic subarc applications are now possible.

Enhanced Control
New MAXsa™ 10 Controller for hard automation features hand-held pendant configuration.
Compact new MAXsa™ 19 Controller is designed specifically for integrator and robotic submerged arc applications.
New MAXsa™ 22 and MAXsa™ 29 Feed Heads incorporate the improved wire straightener.
Simplified arc synchronization in multiple-arc applications, streamlined machine paralleling capability and standardization on 14-pin cables eliminates the need for a System Interface and 22-pin cables.

Enhanced Environmental Protection – Ready for Severe Duty
IP 23 Rated for use outdoors – all components.
Stainless Steel Covers - Power Wave® AC/DC 1000® SD only.
Pull out rear panel for easy maintenance along with re-usable filter - Power Wave® AC/DC 1000® SD only.

Enhanced Weld Analysis Capability
Integrated True Energy™ heat input functionality measures, calculates and displays instantaneous energy in the weld for critical heat input procedural development.
New Production Monitoring™ 2 web-based software makes it easy to gather and analyze production data across welds, stations, shifts, days, weeks, months or plants.

Note: The existing Power Wave® AC/DC 1000® and the Power Feed™ components associated with it will continue to be available for sale. The new system is recommended for severe environments and multiple arc systems. The older non-SD system is a more cost effective solution for indoor, single arc applications.
