PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Flextec ® 500X is a multi-process CC/CV DC inverter power
source rated for 450 Amps, 38 Volts at 100% duty cycle. The
Flextec ® 500X comes in a rugged case and is intended for either
indoor or outdoor operation and comes with an IP23
environmental rating. Transporting the Flextec
simple through lifting handles. The user interface of the Flextec
500X is simple and intuitive. Weld modes are selected via a 5
position selector switch. Volts and Amps are displayed on an easy
to view LED display, and the amps and volts are set via a large
output control knob. A hot start and an arc control knob allow for
finer tuning of the welding arc for the application. The Flextec
500X is designed for the North America and Export markets and
operates on 380V, 460V, or 575V 50hz or 60hz three phase
power. Switching between voltages is made simple via a
reconnect panel located on the case back.
The Flextec ® 500X is designed to be compatible with the current
range of semi-automatic digital wire feeders (such as the Power
Feed feeders) in addition to analog and across-the-arc wire
®
feeders. The Flextec 500X comes with a 5-pin amphenol, a 12-
pin amphenol, and a 14-pin amphenol standard. Voltage sensing
is either done at the studs or via a 67 lead when operating with an
ArcLink wire feeder.
The Flextec ® 500X machine is factory pre-programmed with
multiple welding procedures, typically including GMAW, GMAW-P,
FCAW, SMAW, CAG, and GTAW for a variety of materials, including
mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum. The Flextec
comes standard with the 4 basic process modes which are
accessible via the machine case front controls. The ArcLink mode
position and ArcLink feeders unlock synergic and pulse mig mode
capabilities.
All models of the Flextec ® 500X come with CrossLinc™
Technology for remote output setting with CrossLinc™ compatible
feeders or remore controls.
