WARRIOR® EDGE 500 DX WELDING SYSTEM FEATURES NEW WELDMODES TO OPTIMISE PERFORMANCE IN THIN, ROOT, PIPE, AND PULSED WELDING APPLICATIONS
April 18, 2024

WARRIOR® EDGE 500 DX WELDING SYSTEM FEATURES NEW WELDMODES TO OPTIMISE PERFORMANCE IN THIN, ROOT, PIPE, AND PULSED WELDING APPLICATIONS

Synergic WeldModes deliver premium performance without complexity

North Bethesda, Md – ESAB has introduced its Warrior® Edge 500 DX multi-process power source featuring four advanced MIG/MAG WeldModes — THIN, ROOT, ROOT Pipe and SPEED — as well as an Advanced Pulse WeldMode. All WeldModes enhance arc stability, offer more control at faster travel speeds and reduce spatter for less post-weld clean-up. With Warrior Edge DX, manufacturers and fabricators can make good welders great, optimise productivity, improve quality, consistency, and simplify training.

Users set up material after wire spool change on an intuitive TFT LCD interface inside the RobustFeed Edge DX wire feeder. The feeder’s front panel features day-to-day controls, Quick Job (memory) buttons, WeldMode selection, and RFID badge-controlled access to promote consistency and manage a workforce with varying degrees of skills.

The Warrior Edge 500 DX has built-in connectivity and comes with a lifetime subscription to the InduSuite WeldCloud Fleet online software application.

Productivity Enhancing WeldModes

The THIN WeldMode reduces heat to minimise distortion when welding thin plates (0.7 to 3 mm, or 22 to 11 gauge). With an ability to bridge gaps, the easy-to-control ROOT WeldMode is optimised for root passes on plates in all welding positions and creates a smooth arc even while weaving. The ROOT Pipe WeldMode optimises gap bridging in vertical down pipe applications.

The THIN, ROOT and ROOT Pipe WeldModes use enhanced short circuit transfer processes with a novel type of adaptive control that delivers consistent and smooth metal transfer for a more stable weld puddle. Improved stability gives the operator better control even when welding at faster travel speeds, plus it suppresses the conditions that lead to the formation of spatter. Even though these WeldModes lower heat input for reduced distortion, their gap-bridging ability promotes consistent fusion without excessive reinforcement on the backside of the joint. In addition, there is no need for a voltage sense cable which simplifies set-up and reduces the risk for mistakes.

The SPEED mode creates a more focused arc by taking a conventional spray transfer arc and overlaying a modified pulsed current wave form on top. Benefits of the SPEED mode include improved control at higher travel speeds, reduced spatter, deeper more focused penetration in fillet welds and the ability to weld in narrower grooves. The Warrior Edge 500 DX also offers synergic Pulse MIG WeldMode, conventional and synergic MIG/MAG welding, MMA, Live TIG and carbon arc gouging. The Warrior Edge 500 DX has a rated welding output of 500 amps at 60 percent duty cycle.

“The Warrior Edge 500 DX enables ordinary welders to benefit from sophisticated WeldModes without needing continuous training or relying too much on individual operator skill,” says Arne Lagerkvist, Global Director – Heavy Industrial Welding Equipment, ESAB. “The intelligence inside the system makes set-up fast and welding easy. When using a synergic WeldMode, operators can fine-tune performance simply by adjusting the wire feed speed and trim control knobs, and the system will maintain optimised arc characteristics and deliver excellent weld results.”

Warrior Edge systems also offer an Arc Dynamics function where the operator can set welding parameters and fine-tune by turning a single knob. Benefits include creating a more focused arc for faster travel speed when making fillet welds, adjusting arc energy for specific welding conditions, stability control for specific travel speeds, wire stick-out and better control of the weld pool, and weld bead geometry. Arc Dynamics works in all synergic WeldModes to provide customised control over welding.

The Warrior Edge power source is designed to work with the RobustFeed Edge wire feeder, which features an effective and quick to set-up operator management system that uses an RFID-reader to scan operator badges. This allows locking parameter limits for the quick jobs, improving repeatability and adherence to Weld Procedure Specifications. The feeder also provides ESAB’s new TrueFlow digital gas control technology for greater precision, confidence and cost savings. The system automatically prevents insufficient gas flow and optimises flow during arc starts and welding, a common source of quality issues and gas waste. TrueFlow can save €600 to €1,200 ($640 to $1,280) per year, per machine in gas waste in typical use cases.

The Warrior® Edge 500 DX multi-process power source and RobustFeed Edge DX wire feeder offer THIN, ROOT, ROOT Pipe, SPEED and Pulse WeldModes that increase arc stability, offer more control at faster travel speeds and reduce spatter for less post-weld clean-up.
