Welder brings simpler operation to large welding wire diameter on thick materials

By Paul Dvorak | April 2, 2012

The Flextec 650 is IP23 and Desert Duty rated, meaning it can operate in extreme field environments. Welding outputs are rated for extreme temperature operation up to 55° C. Tough PC boards stand up to dust and humidity, while the Fan-As-Needed feature reduces power consumption, dirt intake and damaging thermal cycling.

The recent high amperage Flextec 650 multi-process welder from Lincoln Electric delivers up to 815 amps of welding power. Its FLEXible TEChnology lets welders use a variety of processes – stick, Touch Start TIG (DC), MIG, flux-cored CV submerged arc and arc gouging – on numerous applications, including heavy equipment and transportation, construction, and welding education.

The inverter-based Flextec 650 is rated at 650 amps at 100 percent duty cycle with a robust amperage range of 10-815 amps, while weighing in at only 165 pounds in a case that measures only 21.83 inches high by 16.3 wide x 29.33 deep. Lincoln Electric Ready-Pak and One-Pak packages configured with Lincoln Electric wire feeders and accessories are structured for easy ordering. Job site-ready rack packages are also set for future release.

Welder features include:

  • Flexible multi-process capability for handling the widest range of welding applications
  • Low-power consumption resulting in operating cost savings
  • Lighter in weight for easier transport
  • Selectable hot start for extra starting amperage
  • Faster arc response with variable arc control
  • Remote control operated by a foot pedal or hand control up to 100 feet away

To request a copy of the Flextec 650 product literature, call (888) 355-3213 to obtain bulletin E5.96.
