Using
Chopper Technology
®
For the "On-The-Go" Welder
Chopper Technology is the field welder’s answer to
superior arc performance. Engine drives allow for the
flexibility of operating in conditions where “plugging in”
is not an option. Lincoln engine drives provide excellent
arc characteristics through Chopper Technology, while
providing high-capacity AC generator power.
Chopper Technology also allows multiple welding arcs
to operate from a single power supply using Multi-Weld
350 units.
The future of welding is here.

Advantages
Of Chopper Technology
®
Flexible
• Engine-driven Chopper Technology
®
power sources are not
limited by the weld environment or access to a power line.
• Chopper Technology
®
is also available in an electric
powered welder, the Power MIG 350MP.
Fast Control over Welding Arc
• Fast response time of the Chopper Technology
®
circuit
allows greater operator control over the welding arc.
Lincoln engine-driven welders such as
the Vantage
®
500 can be used in
virtually any work environment.
Chopper Technology
®
enables fast and
consistent arc control, while providing
high-capacity AC generator power.
Chopper Technology
®
allows up to four Multi-Weld 350 machines
to draw power from a single SAE
®
400 power supply.
