The new trademarked Flextec 500X multi-process welder from Lincoln Electric is rugged enough for outdoor applications, says a recent news release from the manufacturer.
Easy to set up and operate the 500X supports multiple weld processes, including GMAW, GTAW, SMAW, FCAW and CAC-A.
“Basic pulse MIG capability is standard on the Flextec 500X, including weld modes for carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and metalcore electrodes – with optimized stick welding for both cellulosic and low hydrogen electrodes,” the release said.
Trademarked Arclink technology also enables the 500X “to provide synergic pulse modes.” The model also employs trademarked CrossLinc technology, enabling the machine to be operated from hundreds of feet without a control cable.
Flextec welders can be used with almost all Lincoln Electric wire feeders.
Other features of the Flextec 500X include touch-start TIG; an IP 23 rating for outdoor environments like shipyards and construction sites; and a Desert Duty rating for operating in environments of up to 55 degrees C.
