Product Summary
The Flextec™ 500 P is a multi-process CC/CV/Pulse DC inverter power
source rated for 450 Amps, 38 Volts at 100% duty cycle. The
Flextec™ 500 P comes in a rugged case and is intended for either
indoor or outdoor operation and comes with an IP23 environmental
rating. Transporting the Flextec™ 500 P is made simple through
lifting handles. The user interface of the Flextec™ 500 P is simple
and intuitive. Weld modes are selected via a 5 position selector
switch. Volts and Amps are displayed on an easy to view LED display,
and the amps and volts are set via a large output control knob. A hot
start and an arc control knob allow for finer tuning of the welding arc
for the application. The Flextec™ 500 P is designed for the North
America and Export markets and operates on 380V, 460V, or 575V
50hz or 60hz three phase power. Switching between voltages is made
simple via a reconnect panel located on the case back.
The Flextec™ 500 P is designed to be compatible with the current
range of semi-automatic ArcLink wire feeders in addition to analog
and across-the-arc wire feeders. The Flextec™ 500 P comes with a
5-pin amphenol, a 12-pin amphenol, and a 14-pin amphenol
standard. Voltage sensing is either done at the studs or via a 67 lead
when operating with an ArcLink wire feeder.
The Flextec™ 500 P machine is factory pre-programmed with multiple
welding procedures, typically including GMAW, GMAW-P, FCAW,
SMAW, CAG, and GTAW for a variety of materials, including mild steel,
stainless steel and aluminum. The Flextec™ 500 P comes standard
with the 4 basic process modes which are accessible via the machine
case front controls. The ArcLink mode position and ArcLink feeders
unlock synergic and basic pulse mode capabilities.
