Powerwavesoftware.com is The Lincoln Electric Company's new web resource exclusively for fabricators who rely on Lincoln's welding equipment featuring Waveform Control Technology.

The Web site offers free online downloadable software upgrades and the latest information, improvements and capabilities, as well as instant access to welding solutions.

Lincoln's powerwavesoftware.com also provides fast, easy access to new products, weld set modes and personal computer and diagnostic tools.

It is available for those who use Lincoln Power Wave Systems, Power MIG 300, Power MIG 350 MP, Invertec V350-PRO and Invertec V450-PRO equipment.

As new features and functions are developed, using the Web site simplifies the software upgrading process.

This is an improvement over conventional technology, which required hardware changes, new circuit boards, rewiring or even a new machine.

With powerwavesoftware.com, users have a convenient and easy-to-use resource to update their machines with a software upgrade to extend the life of their product or optimise their arc performance.

"Lincoln Electric is committed to the highest level of technology, as well as to a corresponding level of service that makes that technology accessible," said Deanna Postlethwaite, Lincoln product manager, high technology products.

The Web site offers a welding library that provides a list of Lincoln power sources and weld set modes.

Each weld set contains welding application waveforms that are optimised for an arc welding process, consumable type and diameter, shielding gas type and wire feed speed range.

A reference guide offers a table to easily identify the correct welding waveform for each user's specific needs.

Fabricators select a weld set link to launch an interactive download wizard that upgrades their Lincoln welding power source's mode library.

The system update utility will walk users through a series of operations, including a system review, notification of new software upgrades a present program set back-up and the upgrade of the system components.

Users obtain other equipment software improvements through a software package on the Web site's operating systems page.

An interactive system update utility manages the upgrade of the system components.

Lincoln plans to enhance the Web site continually to make it more even useful for its customers.

Its goal is to communicate improvements and new product launches.

In the future, a "What's New" section will be added to the site as well as a login feature, which will enable users to register to receive advance notifications regarding product information and upgrades.
