OVERVIEW

Expand Your Welding Capabilities with the Lincoln K2902-1

The Lincoln Electric Power Wave STT Process Module (K2902-1) is a critical upgrade for industrial facilities looking to maximize the versatility of their existing Power Wave S-Series and R-Series fleets. Designed to seamlessly integrate with models such as the Power Wave S350, S500, and R450, this module unlocks advanced proprietary waveforms that are essential for high-precision fabrication. By adding this module, facilities gain access to Surface Tension Transfer (STT), Rapid X, and Low Fume Pulse processes, which are industry standards for reducing spatter and ensuring weld integrity in challenging applications.

Engineered for operational efficiency, the K2902-1 features a Quick Lock Mounting System that secures the unit directly underneath the compatible power source. This design preserves valuable floor space and maintains a clean, organized equipment footprint. The module utilizes Lincoln's ArcLink digital communication protocol, which allows for plug-and-play connectivity through the welding leads themselves. This eliminates the need for additional, costly remote control cables and simplifies the setup process for maintenance teams. The unit is built to withstand rigorous industrial environments with an IP23 rating, ensuring durability against dust and moisture.

From a procurement perspective, investing in the K2902-1 is a cost-effective strategy to upgrade technology without replacing entire power source units. It includes intelligent protection circuits that safeguard the equipment against voltage transients and misconnections, reducing the risk of downtime and repair costs. The Smart Fan Operation further enhances longevity by synchronizing with the main power source to run only when necessary, reducing energy consumption and minimizing noise pollution on the shop floor. This module represents a smart, modular approach to scaling welding operations.

FAQ

The K2902-1 is compatible with the Power Wave S350, Power Wave S500, Power Wave R450, Power Wave R450CE, and APEX 3000. It is NOT compatible with the Power Wave S700.

STT (Surface Tension Transfer) allows for independent control of wire feed speed and current, providing exceptional puddle control, reducing spatter, and preventing burnthrough on thin metals and open root pipe welds.

No, it utilizes ArcLink digital communications to communicate directly through the welding leads (using the included pigtail adapter), eliminating the need for separate remote control cables.

The package includes the STT Process Module, one Power Source Output Pigtail Adapter Cable (Tweco-style), and one 25-foot Remote Voltage Sense Lead.

It features a Quick Lock Mounting System that secures the module directly underneath the compatible Power Wave power source, minimizing the equipment footprint.

The module is rated at 450A at 100% duty cycle, 500A at 60% duty cycle, and 550A at 40% duty cycle, with a peak maximum of 750A.

Yes, in addition to STT, the module enables Rapid X and Low Fume Pulse welding processes on compatible Power Wave machines.

The K2902-1 Power Wave STT Module is covered by Lincoln Electric's industry-leading 5-year warranty.
