K3608-4 - Lincoln Flextec 500X / Flex Feed 84 Heavy Duty Ready-Pak

Lincoln Flextec 500X / Flex Feed 84 Ready-Pak: The Ultimate Industrial Workhorse

The Lincoln Electric Flextec 500X / Flex Feed 84 Ready-Pak (K3608-4) is a comprehensive welding system engineered for heavy fabrication, construction, and industrial manufacturing. This package combines the rugged reliability of the Flextec 500X multi-process power source with the advanced control of the Flex Feed 84 wire feeder, creating a versatile solution for shops that demand performance and durability. Designed to handle MIG, Pulsed MIG, Flux-Cored, Stick, TIG, and Carbon Arc Gouging, this system delivers up to 500 amps of welding power, making it suitable for thick materials and demanding duty cycles.

At the core of this system is the Flextec 500X, an inverter-based machine featuring Lincoln's proprietary CrossLinc Technology. CrossLinc allows for full remote control of voltage and amperage at the arc without the need for an additional control cable. This innovation reduces cable clutter, enhances safety, and improves productivity by allowing welders to adjust settings at the feeder rather than walking back to the power source. The machine is built to withstand extreme environments, boasting an IP23 rating for outdoor weather resistance and Desert Duty certification for operation in temperatures up to 55°C (131°F).

The included Flex Feed 84 is a heavy-duty industrial wire feeder designed for simplicity and precision. It features four programmable memory presets, allowing operators to quickly recall frequently used weld schedules. The feeder utilizes a robust 4-roll Maxtrac wire drive system, ensuring consistent feeding of solid wires up to 3/32 inch and cored wires up to 0.120 inch. This Ready-Pak comes fully assembled with a heavy-duty cart, the Magnum PRO Curve 400 MIG gun, and all necessary cables, providing a turnkey solution for immediate deployment in your facility.

Key System Benefits

• CrossLinc Connectivity: Adjust parameters at the feeder using the weld cable, eliminating fragile control cords.
• True Voltage Technology (TVT): Automatically compensates for voltage drops across long welding leads to ensure the actual arc voltage matches your settings.
• Multi-Process Versatility: Seamlessly switch between MIG, TIG, Stick, and Gouging processes with optimized arc characteristics for each.
• Rugged Construction: Trayed and potted PC boards protect internal electronics from dust, humidity, and vibration.
