The Lincoln Electric Company's new Invertec®
V450-PRO is a multi-process inverter-based welding power source intended for
heavy fabrication. It is especially designed for shops commonly welding with
1/16" or larger diameter welding wire electrodes that also require plenty of
power for arc gouging repair with a 3/8" carbon.
In standard factory configuration, the V450-PRO is capable of stick, Touch-Start TIG, MIG, cored wire welding and arc gouging. Full-featured standard controls also include selectable Hot Start, an arc starting aid for difficult applications, as well as variable arc force, which allows you to dial in 'soft' or 'crisp' arc characteristics.
With the optional Advanced Process Panel Kit, operators gain access to pulsing capability and a variety of Lincoln Nextweld® process innovations, including Pulse-on-Pulse, Power Mode®, and Waveform Control Technology.
The V450-PRO features a 5-570 amp welding output range for all recommended processes, which is low enough for TIG welding on thin sheet metal and yet substantial enough for arc gouging on thick plate, according to the company.
With an 88% efficiency rating and a high 95% power factor rating, the inverter-based V450-PRO is designed to deliver lower energy consumption. A spokesperson noted, "With input voltage capability ranging from 205 up to 575, the unit can be run on virtually any input power in the world, allowing you to consider the V450-PRO for installation in all of your factories around the world."
The V450-PRO carries a three-year warranty on parts and labor. It is manufactured under a quality system certified to ISO 9001 requirements and ISO 14001 environmental standards.
