Lincoln’s Waveform Control Technology
®
controls and shapes the output waveforms (or weld modes).
It is the modulation of the welding current that achieves a specific desired welding result. High
performance, digital welding waveforms are developed based on the application and take into account
t
he process, gas, and wire size combinations.
The desired welding result is efficient, reliable, consistent, high performance welding which is delivered
with the Power Wave
®
i400 solution.
