Waveform Control Technology
Just as computer companies
recognize the importance of
providing their customers with
multi-functional equipment,
Lincoln Electric realizes that our
customers want the power to
choose what fits them best. As
companies broaden their product
offerings, this desire has turned
into necessity.
In the past, different equipment
has been required for different
welds. Customers often needed
several models of welding
equipment to perform a variety of
welding procedures.
Waveform Control Technology
revolutionizes the way welding
equipment is chosen. Waveform
Control Technology welding
systems support 8 processes,
over 80 weld procedures, and the
option to fine-tune or develop new
welding programs. Waveform
Control Technology is available
in semi-automatic, hard
automation, or robotic systems.
We've put the power of choice
back into the hands of the
operators. Choose wisely. Choose
Waveform Control Technology.

SIMPLIFIED PROCESS SELECTION
Metal transfer modes may be controlled to extend the stable operating range
of the welding process.
ADAPTABILITY
Shapes the arc using computer software. A single machine can quickly and
easily adapt to:
• A wide range of applications
• Varying materials specifications
• Varied weld positions
• Appearance requirements
WELD QUALITY
Optimized metal transfer reduces spatter and improves arc stability.
PRODUCTIVITY
Higher deposition rates are possible at heat input equal to or less than
traditional CV processes.
CUSTOMIZABLE
Output parameters may be adjusted for given welding waveform conditions
and joint design to meet weld specifications and production rates.
t u r e o f
T M
Alterations to the waveform can be made during the weld,
using software created by Lincoln Electric.
