K4352-2 - Power Wave S700 WiFi and Bluetooth Module

Advanced Connectivity for Modern Welding Operations

The Lincoln Electric K4352-2 Power Wave Wireless Connectivity Module is a critical accessory designed specifically for the Power Wave S700 advanced process welder. In the era of Industry 4.0, data is as valuable as the weld itself. This module bridges the gap between your welding hardware and your production data systems, enabling a seamless flow of information that drives efficiency and quality control. By integrating this module, facilities can unlock the full potential of Lincoln Electric's proprietary monitoring software, CheckPoint™, without the logistical nightmare and high cost of installing hardwired network drops at every welding station.

This unit is engineered to provide robust and secure connections via multiple protocols. It supports WiFi (802.11 a/b/g/n), allowing machines to be placed anywhere on the shop floor while maintaining a link to the central server. Additionally, it features Bluetooth technology, which facilitates local connectivity for diagnostics or mobile device pairing. For environments where a wired connection is preferred or required for redundancy, the module also adds a second Ethernet port to the machine's capabilities. This versatility ensures that no matter the infrastructure of your facility, the Power Wave S700 can remain connected.

Implementing the K4352-2 allows for real-time tracking of key performance indicators (KPIs) such as True Energy, arc-on time, and deposition rates. This data is crucial for identifying bottlenecks, calculating accurate job costs, and ensuring adherence to welding procedure specifications (WPS). The module is designed for the industrial environment, ensuring reliable performance even in the presence of electrical noise typical of heavy fabrication shops. It comes complete with all necessary adapter cables and instructions for a straightforward installation process.
