K3685-1 - Power Wave Advanced Process Module with STT and AC

Unlock the Full Potential of Your Power Wave

Take your welding setup to the next level with the Power Wave® Advanced Module. If you are running a Power Wave S350 or S500 and suddenly face a job requiring aluminum welding or precision pipe work, you don't need a whole new machine—you just need this module. It attaches to your existing power source and instantly gives you access to AC welding capabilities, making high-quality TIG welding on aluminum a breeze. It also adds High Frequency (HF) starting, so you get clean, crisp TIG starts every time without contaminating your tungsten.

Beyond TIG, this module is a game-changer for MIG welding. It equips your machine with Lincoln's famous STT® (Surface Tension Transfer) technology. STT is legendary for making open root welds on pipe easier than ever, giving you perfect penetration with almost no spatter and less chance of burn-through. You also get Rapid X®, which helps you weld faster with better puddle control on thin materials. It’s like giving your welder a supercharger.

The module is built tough for the shop environment and connects easily with the included cables. The Twist-Mate™ connection on the front makes hooking up your TIG torch quick and secure. Whether you are fabricating complex parts, welding pipe, or working with exotic alloys, adding the Advanced Module ensures your equipment can handle whatever the job throws at you. It turns your standard DC welder into a true multi-process beast.
