The Lincoln Electric Magnum 400 (K479-4) is a semi-automatic MIG welding gun designed for heavy-duty industrial applications. Rated at 400 amperes with a 60% duty cycle using CO2 gas, this air-cooled gun is engineered to handle higher heat levels associated with high-amperage welding. The unit features a 15-foot (4.6-meter) cable assembly, providing significant reach for large fabrication projects. This specific model is equipped with a Fast-Mate backend connection, facilitating compatibility with wire feeders that utilize this specific style of termination.
Constructed for durability and performance, the Magnum 400 utilizes a gun tube armored with an electrically insulated metal jacket, optimizing fine wire welding performance. The cable is protected by an abrasion-resistant, extruded rubber jacket that adds strength and longevity, preventing wear from dragging across shop floors. Internally, the gun features a higher copper strand count cable compared to the Magnum 300 series, ensuring efficient current transfer and heat dissipation. The K479-4 comes pre-configured with a liner suitable for wire diameters ranging from 0.052 inches to 1/16 inches (1.3 mm to 1.6 mm), making it ideal for structural steel and heavy equipment manufacturing.
Operational efficiency is enhanced by the one-piece modular trigger assembly, molded from high-heat-resistant material to withstand spatter and ensure consistent electrical signals. The gun also features a rotatable gooseneck, allowing operators to adjust the angle for optimal access to awkward joints without straining the cable. The design prioritizes maintenance simplicity, with expendable parts that are compatible with industry standards, ensuring ease of replacement and reduced downtime.
