Lincoln Frontier 400X Pipe (Kubota) Diesel Welder K3485-2

Lincoln® Frontier® Pipe 400X Pipe (Kubota®) Diesel Engine Welder K3485-2

The Lincoln® Frontier® 400X Pipe (Kubota®) is an advanced 400 amp, multi-process diesel engine welder that features a specialized pipe welding mode.  When welding in pipe mode, the Frontier 400X Pipe produces a classic DC arc for downhill pipe welding applications, reminiscent of Lincoln’s legendary SA-200 and SAE-300MP pipeline welders.

Advanced technology built into the Frontier 400X pipe includes state-of-the-art CrossLinc®.  Built-in CrossLinc circuitry means that the Frontier 400X Pipe communicates with a Lincoln CrossLinc wire feeder or CrossLinc remote control directly through your welding leads. Full remote amperage and voltage control is achieved without the use of a separate remote-control cable. This completely eliminates the need to go back to the welding machine to make output amperage or voltage adjustments. Other advanced features include DigFX™ for ultimate arc control, 7-inch digital user interface with memory recall, DC Pulsed TIG, and STT® MIG (when paired with an OPTIONAL Activ8X® Pipe™ wire feeder).

The Frontier 400X comes standard with stainless steel side panels and roof, to extend the life and durability of the welder.  Six different welding modes allow you to quickly switch between stick, touch start DC TIG, MIG, flux-cored and carbon arc gouging.  Best-in-class arc characteristics provide outstanding welding results, time after time.

The Frontier 400X produces up to 11,500 peak watts of single-phase AC auxiliary power AND up to 12,500 peak watts of three-phase AC auxiliary power. The Kubota® D1503-M three-cylinder, naturally aspirated diesel engine is EPA Tier 4F compliant and produces 24.8 horsepower at 1,800 RPM.  Auto Start/Stop feature saves fuel by shutting the engine down after a programmable period of welding inactivity.  The engine automatically re-starts when the machine senses you are ready to strike a welding arc.
