K1565-1 - Lincoln STT-10 Wire Feeder Control Box

Precision Control for STT Welding

The Lincoln Electric STT-10 Control Box (K1565-1) is a specialized wire feeder and process controller designed exclusively for use with Lincoln's revolutionary Surface Tension Transfer (STT) technology. This unit is not just a standard wire feeder; it is the interface that allows the operator to harness the unique waveform control capabilities of the STT process, making it an indispensable tool for critical welding applications.

The STT-10 is engineered to provide stable and precise wire feeding, which is essential for the STT process's ability to react to the arc state in microseconds. By controlling the wire feed speed in perfect synchronization with the power source's current output, the K1565-1 enables welders to achieve X-ray quality welds with minimal heat input. This is particularly advantageous for open root passes on pipe, where controlling penetration and preventing burn-through are paramount. The unit typically operates on 42V auxiliary power supplied directly from the compatible Invertec power source, ensuring simple integration into your existing welding cell.

Ideally suited for industries such as process piping, power generation, and automotive fabrication, the STT-10 allows for the welding of stainless steel, mild steel, and high-nickel alloys with ease. Its robust design ensures reliability in harsh industrial environments, while the intuitive control layout allows operators to fine-tune parameters for optimal bead profile and fusion.

Key Applications

• Open root pipe welding
• Thin gauge sheet metal fabrication
• Stainless steel and nickel alloy welding
• Applications requiring low spatter and low fume
