K3186-7 - Power Wave S500 Water-Cooled Bench Package

Advanced Industrial Multi-Process Welding System

The Lincoln Electric Power Wave S500 Bench One-Pak (K3186-7) represents the pinnacle of industrial welding technology, combining the robust Power Wave S500 power source with the advanced Power Feed 84 bench wire feeder. Designed for heavy-duty fabrication environments, this package delivers a rated output of 500 amps at 60% duty cycle and 450 amps at 100% duty cycle, ensuring continuous operation for the most demanding applications. The system utilizes Lincoln's proprietary Waveform Control Technology, which allows for precise manipulation of the arc to optimize weld quality across a variety of materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and nickel alloys.

At the core of the S500 is the Tribrid Power Module, which provides exceptional energy efficiency and a high power factor, reducing operating costs while delivering superior arc performance. The unit features PowerConnect Technology, automatically adjusting to any input power from 200V to 600V, 50 or 60 Hz, 3-phase, making it versatile for facilities with varying power infrastructures. The included Power Feed 84 wire feeder offers advanced digital controls, user memories, and limits, allowing for strict process control and repeatability. This One-Pak configuration is a water-cooled solution, incorporating the Cool Arc 55S to manage heat during high-amperage welding, prolonging consumable life and ensuring operator comfort.

Integration into modern manufacturing workflows is seamless with standard Ethernet connectivity, enabling the use of Lincoln's CheckPoint Production Monitoring software. This cloud-based system allows facility managers to track weld data, productivity, and quality metrics in real-time. The rugged IP23-rated enclosure ensures durability in harsh shop conditions, protecting internal components from dust and moisture. The package is comprehensive, including the power source, bench feeder, water cooler, heavy-duty water-cooled gun, and all necessary cables, providing a turnkey solution for high-performance industrial welding.
