Lincoln Electric, K3242-3, Air Vantage 566X, 600A; 20 kW; Diesel Engine; CrossLinc Technology; 3-in-1 Multifunction

The Air Vantage® 566X is a powerful multifunction machine that offers up to 600 amps of IEC rated welding output, 20 kW of auxiliary power, and 60 cfm of compressed air in a single package. This 3-in-1 workhorse has been designed to meet the most challenging job site needs and environments. The rugged Air Vantage 566X can handle a challenging assortment of tasks from heavy-duty carbon arc gouging to pulse welding. Now better than ever, the machine features CrossLinc® Technology to provide welders with greater control at the arc to help improve safety, productivity, and weld quality.

Features

• Expanded Welding Capabilities – Utilize customized modes for stainless, aluminum, and steel as well as advanced SAW and orbital pipe modes. Features pulse welding capability for better arc control in out-of-position work and low heat input for critical welds.
• Generator Output – Provides up to 20 kW of continuous three-phase power to run industrial tools such as plasma cutters, pumps, or inverter welders.
• CrossLinc® Enabled – Allows communication through a standard weld cable to enable voltage or current control at the arc without a control cable to help improve safety, quality, and productivity with less trips to the power source and reduced jobsite clutter. Built-in True Voltage Technology™ (TVT) compensates for voltage drop to further improve operations.
• On Demand Versatility – Offers up to 600 amps (IEC rated at 525 amps) of welding current to tackle numerous welding and carbon arc gouging applications. Select one of five basic process modes including CC-Stick, Downhill Pipe, DC Touch Start TIG®, CV-Wire, or Arc Gouging mode, which maximizes output for up to 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) carbon rods.
• Patented Chopper® Technology – Experience premium arc performance with minimized spatter for stick or pipe welding as well as enhanced gouging performance that prevents the engine from stalling, resulting in smooth material removal.
• Reliable Operations – Engineered tough and field proven for ruggedness and durability to meet the most challenging job site needs and harshest environments.
• Industrial Diesel Engine – Powered by a 65.7 hp, turbocharged Deutz® diesel engine. Runs smooth and quiet while meeting EPA Tier 4 Final compliance
• Integrated Air Compressor – 60 cfm @ 100 psi of compressed air powered by VMAC®
