PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT SUMMARY
The Power Wave
®
S350 is a portable multi-process power
source with high-end functionality capable of Stick, DC TIG, MIG,
Pulsed MIG and Flux-Cored welding. It is ideal for a wide variety
of materials including aluminum, stainless, and nickel — where
arc performance is critical.
The Power Wave
®
S350 is designed to be a very flexible welding
system. Like existing Power Wave’s
®
, the software based archi-
tecture allows for future upgradeability. One significant change
from the current range of Power Wave
®
units is that the Ethernet
communication feature is standard on the Power Wave
®
S350
which allows for effortless software upgrades through
Powerwavesoftware.com. The Ethernet communication also
gives the Power Wave
®
S350 the ability to run Production
Monitoring™ 2. Also a Devicenet option which will allow the
Power Wave
®
S350 to be used in a wide range of configurations.
Also, the Power Wave
®
S350 is being designed to be compatible
with future advanced welding modules like STT
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES AND
EQUIPMENT
The Power Wave
®
S350 is recommended for semiautomatic welding,
and may also be suitable for basic hard automation applications. The
Power Wave
®
S350 can be set up in a number of configurations, some
requiring optional equipment or welding programs.
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
The Power Wave
®
S350 is designed to be compatible with the
current range of Power Feed™ systems including future
versions of ArcLink
®
feeders.
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES
The Power Wave S350 is a high speed, multi-process power
source capable of regulating the current, voltage, or power of the
welding arc. With an output range of 5 to 350 amperes, it
supports a number of standard processes including synergic
GMAW, GMAW-P, FCAW, FCAW-SS, SMAW, GTAW and GTAW-P
on various materials especially steel, aluminum and stainless.
PROCESS LIMITATIONS
The software based weld tables of the Power Wave
®
S350 limit
the process capability within the output range and the safe limits
of the machine. In general the processes will be limited to
.030-.052 solid steel wire, .030 -.045 stainless wire, .035 -1/16
cored wire, and .035 - 1/16 Aluminum wire.

EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS
Only ArcLink compatible semiautomatic wire feeders and users
interfaces may be used. If other Lincoln wire feeders or
non-Lincoln wire feeders are used there will be limited process
capability and performance and features will be limited.
