Lincoln Electric’s Frontier 400x Improves Welding Controls, Reduces Idling

Lincoln Electric’s new Frontier 400x is powered by a 24.7 HP turbo-charged Perkins diesel engine and offers 400 amps of welding output to handle high amperage applications, and 11Kw of 1/3-phase auxiliary power to run tools on the jobsite. The machine features impact-rated digital user interface that allows for machine control and simplicity, along with the benefits of saving weld mode memories, maintenance reminders, productivity metrics and optional PIN authorization.

Also, the Frontier 400X features optimized weld modes design. The unit includes embedded SMAW, DC TIG and CAG modes, along with full support and compatibility for advanced GMAW and FCAW applications and mechanized flat-track/orbital equipment. It also features the CrossLinc technology for superior at-the-arc welding controls while reducing cable clutter on the jobsite, along with Auto-Stop/Start technology to help reduce excessive idling and engine wear while increasing fuel savings.

“The Frontier 400X is the result of over 100 years of Lincoln Electric’s experience and expertise in engine-driven welders, ushering in a next-generation product to our legendary and field-proven equipment lineup,” said Nick Winarski, senior product manager, Lincoln Electric. “Tying together years of customer feedback and application testing, the Frontier 400x combines the latest digital weld technology and innovation with Lincoln Electric’s iconic engine drive platform to deliver the ultimate in arc performance and operator-friendly control.”

The unit was shown at Conexpo in Las Vegas last week.
