Invision™350 MPa System MIG Welding
Power Source
Issued March 2009 • Index No. DC/23.5
Lightweight, aerospace-grade aluminum
case offers protection with the benefit of
reduced weight.
SharpArc™technology changes welding arc
characteristics in Pulsed MIG welding mode.
Auto-Line™Power Management
Technology allows for any input voltage
hook-up (208 – 575 V) with no manual
linking required, providing convenience
in any job setting. Ideal solution for dirty
or unreliable input power.
Easy setup for MIG and Pulsed MIG
applications.
Inverter arc control technology provides
greater puddle control for outstanding MIG
weld performance.
Fan-On-Demand™cooling system
operates only when needed, reducing
noise, energy use and the amount of
contaminants pulled through machine.
The Power of Blue® .
Dynamic Pulsed MIG — highly-engineered
pulse programs default to give a tight
productive pulse arc. The operator can
fine tune the arc if desired.

Quick
Specs
Line voltage compensation keeps welding
output constant even if input power varies
by +/-10%. Invision 350 MPa models
further expand line voltage compensation
on 460 VAC to an amazing +37%, -59%.
Large, dual digital meters are easy to
view and are presettable to ease setting
weld output.
Invision 350 MPa System
Add the new S-74 MPa feeder for a
package that gives you the benefit of
Synergic-Pulsed MIG. As you increase/
decrease the wire feed speed, the pulse
parameters increase/decrease matching
the right amount of power output to
the wire speed.

Additional Features
SharpArc™
Changes welding arc characteristics in
Pulsed MIG (GMAW-P) welding mode.
If a gas is used other than what is listed
on the Pulsed MIG welding program
chart (below left), the SharpArc™can be
adjusted to help customize your arc to the
gas being used.
Lower SharpArc™settings widen the arc
cone, increase puddle fluidity and flattens
the weld bead.
Auto Remote Sense™
Enables unit to automatically use remote
control if connected to remote control
receptacle.
Dinse International-style weld disconnects
Provide high-quality weld cable connections.
Dinse and Tweco connectors are available.
Optional 115 VAC auxiliary power
Provides 10 amps of circuit-breaker-
protected power for water circulators, etc.
MPa
MPa: M (MIG), P (Pulse), a (Advanced
Arc Control). Advanced arc control
enables an improved pulse welding arc.
The operator has more control over puddle
and bead characteristics using SharpArc™
.
In addition, the unit provides a more robust
and stable arc at very low arc length, reducing
heat input, and providing the ability to weld
on a wider range of material thickness.
Synergic pulsing is available only with the
S-74 MPa dedicated wire feeder.
What are some benefits of
Synergic-Pulsed MIG?
1. Easier to set up
2. No more changing wire speed, and
then having to go back to reset the
welding output.
The Invision 350 MPa has built-in dynamic Pulsed MIG capabilities. See the table below for the wide
range of Pulsed MIG (GMAW-P) welding applications the Invision 350 MPa can handle.
The Invision™350 MPa and S-74 MPa combine for a synergic system that simplifies and
improves MIG and Pulsed MIG welding applications for industrial manufacturing.

S-74 MPa Single Feeder Features
Dual tension control adds flexibility
for the operator to fine-tune the
pressure on the wire independently
when feeding a variety of wires.
Tool-less rotatable drive assembly
allows operator to rotate the drive
housing, eliminating severe bends in the
wire feed path which reduce gun liner
life. Also aids in feeding difficult wires.
