Lincoln Electric has introduced the Vantage® 520 SD engine-driven welder/generator, which joins the larger Vantage 600 SD and Air Vantage 600 SD in the company’s Severe Duty group of welding machines suitable for such extreme environments as mining, construction, and pipe welding. Each is equipped with a Tier 4 Final- (T4F-) compliant engine that meets all new EPA diesel fuel emission standards.
This machine can perform shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), pipe welding, flux-cored wire welding (FCAW), and arc gouging.
All machines in this series have a new digital platform, which creates smoother arc action, faster arc response, and improved pipe welding capabilities, including reduced spatter, the company states. New pulsing capabilities create improved arc control for out-of-position work and can be used to reduce heat input, resulting in less distortion of the base material.
ArcLink® digital communication enables fast, reliable digital communication with advanced wire feeders and other components.
The system has a 34.8-HP Deutz® D2.9L4 engine that enables the welding machine to produce 520 amps/30 V at 60 percent duty cycle and 450 amps/32 V at 100 percent duty cycle. In addition, the 520 SD is capable of delivering to 11,000-W single-phase or 17,000-W three-phase, 120/240- VAC generator power.
