The Power Wave AC/DC 1000 inverter power source from The Lincoln Electric Company enabled T Bailey (a Washington-based construction and fabrication company) to significantly increase productivity and reach the higher deposition rates on its wind turbine towers. The machine’s patented Waveform Control Technology and variable AC/DC frequency allows for higher deposition rates at lower amperages compared to other available machines. It also provides a more stable arc for a consistent penetration pattern along the length of the weld, which is necessary in order for the welds to pass ultrasonic testing. Also watch this episode:
