The Lincoln Electric Power Wave R500 (K3169-1) is engineered to be the heartbeat of modern automated welding cells. Designed specifically for robotic applications, this power source delivers a robust 500 amps at 100% duty cycle, ensuring that your production lines can run continuously without thermal interruption. It is built on Lincoln's advanced Waveform Control Technology, which allows for precise manipulation of the arc to suit a vast array of materials and thicknesses, from thin automotive sheet metal to heavy structural steel.
One of the standout features of the R500 is the Tribrid Power Module. This proprietary technology provides exceptional welding performance while maintaining a high power factor and efficiency. This translates to lower energy costs over the lifespan of the machine compared to traditional transformer-rectifier units. Additionally, the unit features PowerConnect Technology, which automatically adjusts to any input power from 208V to 575V, 50 or 60 Hz, without the need for manual relinking. This flexibility makes the R500 a truly global machine, ready to be deployed in facilities with varying power infrastructures.
The Power Wave R500 is housed in a rugged, IP23-rated case, designed to withstand the harsh realities of industrial manufacturing environments. It integrates seamlessly with robotic controllers via ArcLink, the industry-standard digital communication protocol, ensuring fast and reliable data transfer between the robot and the power source. For maintenance and quality control teams, the built-in Ethernet port allows for easy connection to CheckPoint Production Monitoring, Lincoln's cloud-based solution for tracking weld data and system health.
