Power Wave® 455M/STT Robotic
The Next Generation . . .
The Power Wave 455M Robotic is a high performance, digitally controlled inverter power
source designed for robotic, hard automation and semiautomatic applications. It is designed
to be part of a modular, multi-process welding system that can be arranged in a variety of
ways for optimum, customized performance and easy maintenance. Optional DeviceNet™
and Ethernet communication modules provide networking capabilities and allow the
power sources to communicate with other industrial machines to create a highly integrated
and flexible welding cell. Available as a standard model or with Lincoln’s STT® process
for applications in which heat input control, minimal distortion, reduced spatter and low
fumes are essential.

QUALITY AND RELIABILITY
Design
Safety, reliability and service-ability are built into Lincoln’s Inverter
design.
• Open construction for preventative maintenance and diagnostics.
• Thermostatically protected.
• Electronic output over-current protection and electronic input
over-voltage protection.
Open Construction
Coated Electrical Connections
• Operating Temperature Range: -20C to +40C.
• Storage Temperature Range: -40C to +40C.
• Double insulation and varnish on main transformer.
• Shielded Heavy Duty Input Contactor in tightly sealed environ-
mental enclosure.
• Electrical connections coated with insulating compound for long
term reliability in harsh environments.
Automotive Grade Sleeves
Trayed and Potted PC Board
• Automotive grade sleeves protect leads from abrasion.
• Tough PC Boards - tray mounted, completely encapsulated,
double locked harness connectors, environmentally protected
connectors, electrical silicone grease, high current rating.
• Efficient Cooling System with Industrial Motor with sealed bear-
ings and metal fan blade.
• Fan-As-Needed - reduces power consumption and the amount of
debris that gets drawn into the machine by shutting the fan down
when it is not needed.
Cooling System
Testing and Reliability
All Lincoln inverters are fully tested for reliability before and after
assembly.
• Each machine undergoes a functional weld test to ensure
performance.
• Lincoln inverters are operated in an environmental chamber
under extreme conditions of temperature and humidity.
• Mechanical testing including vibration and drop testing is performed
• Extensive temperature testing is performed to ensure that all
components are running within allowable range.
Manufacturing & Testing
Environmental Chamber
• Three year warranty on parts and labor.
• Manufactured under a quality system certified to ISO 9001
requirements.
WHAT IS POWER ELECTRONICS?
• Designed to the IECEN 60974-1 standard.
• Standards - IECEN 60974-1, NEMA EW 3, CSANRTL/C.
• Environmental rating IP21S.
Power electronics innovations like lightweight
inverters and high speed chopper are common,
but Nextweld’s power electronics provide fabrica-
tors with a highly efficient system that are reliable
and can adapt easily to new operations. State-of-
the-Art Inverter technology provides high power
efficiency, excellent welding performance and a
lightweight, compact design. Lincoln inverters

INTERFACE OPTIONS
• ArcLink is a digital communication protocol designed specifically
for the arc welding industry. It integrates welding systems and
networked components to create a flexible welding cell.
• ArcLink is a Controlled Area Network (CAN) based network with a
40V supply.
ArcLink Cable Connector
• ArcLink is used to connect the welding equipment such as the
power supply and wire feeder together where reliable, priority-
based operation is essential.
• DeviceNet is a network that provides connections between simple
industrial devices (such as sensors and actuators) and higher-level
devices (Programmable Logic Controllers [PLC]). The Power Waves
can be interfaced with DeviceNet using a K2206-1 DeviceNet
interface module.
DeviceNet Cables
• Data is transmitted through wide area network (10 baseT, IEEE
802.3 Compliant). Monitor/control all equipment from a single
interfaced desktop computer. The Power Waves can be interfaced
with Ethernet using a K2207-1 Ethernet/DeviceNet Interface
Module.
Ethernet Cables
• Also includes full DeviceNet capability.
Hard Automation - DeviceNet
• Standardized PLC connections enable engineers to connect
welding systems to other automation devices. Sample application
templates make it easy to implement typical control features.
The Power Waves require a K2206-1 or K2207-1 Interface Module.
Serial
Allen-Bradley Panelview 600
• All Lincoln digital equipment is configured with a serial interface.
• All software services are accessible for maintenance.
• RS-232 serial interfaces are inexpensive and easy to use and
understand.
Analog
• This module provides Analog and Discrete Inputs/Outputs (I/O) for
trigger controls plus feedbacks.
RS-232 Cable
RS-232 Port on the front lower
panel of the machine.
WHAT IS DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS?
Nextweld’s digital communications offers
fabricators a fast, reliable, inexpensive way
to integrate and operate equipment. Large
amounts of data transmit reliably and accu-
rately, and wiring costs are relatively low,
especially when the number of devices on
the network increase.
