K3186-8 - Lincoln Power Wave S500 One-Pak with Power Feed 84 Boom Mount

Advanced Industrial Welding Solution

The Lincoln Electric Power Wave S500 One-Pak (K3186-8) represents the pinnacle of modern industrial welding technology. Designed for heavy-duty fabrication, this package combines the robust Power Wave S500 power source with the versatile Power Feed 84 Boom Mount wire feeder. This configuration is specifically engineered for manufacturing environments that utilize boom arms or custom mounting fixtures, allowing the wire feeder to be positioned exactly where the operator needs it while keeping the power source safely on the floor or in a rack.

At the heart of this system is Lincoln's proprietary Waveform Control Technology. Unlike traditional analog machines, the S500 is software-driven, allowing it to manipulate the arc with extreme precision. This results in superior weld quality across a wide range of materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and nickel alloys. The machine supports standard CV MIG, pulsed MIG, TIG, Stick, and flux-cored processes, making it a true multi-process workhorse. With a 100% duty cycle at 450 amps, it handles the most demanding production schedules without overheating or requiring cool-down periods.

The included Power Feed 84 Boom Mount unit features a rugged, industrial design with advanced digital controls. It communicates seamlessly with the power source via ArcLink, ensuring that voltage and wire feed speed are synchronized perfectly. The feeder includes features like user memories, limits, and lockouts to ensure quality control across shifts. Furthermore, the system is CheckPoint ready, enabling production managers to monitor weld data, track consumable usage, and calculate True Energy directly from a cloud-based dashboard.

Installation is simplified with PowerConnect technology, which automatically adjusts the machine to any incoming 3-phase power from 200V to 600V without manual relinking. This flexibility, combined with the Tribrid Power Module's high energy efficiency, makes the S500 a smart investment for facilities looking to reduce operating costs while boosting productivity.
