The Lincoln Electric Vantage 500 CE is a compact and powerful engine-driven welder and generator designed for demanding applications in construction, pipeline work, and rental fleets. It features a quiet, smooth-running 4-cylinder Perkins water-cooled diesel engine, making it suitable for use in noise-sensitive environments.

This versatile machine supports multiple welding processes including stick welding with a wide range of electrodes, lift TIG welding, constant voltage (CV) welding with shielding gas or innershield wires, and arc gouging with carbons up to 10 mm. Its multi-process capability allows operators to select from five process modes: CC-Stick, Downhill Pipe for cellulosic electrodes, DC Touch Start TIG, CV-Wire, and Arc Gouging, maximizing productivity across different welding tasks.

Key features include:

• Compact stainless steel enclosure with durable roof, side panels, and engine-access door for enhanced protection
• Separate arc gouge mode for specialized carbon arc gouging applications
• VRD (Voltage Reduction Device) for reduced open circuit voltage in CC and CV modes, improving operator safety
• Reliable Perkins 404D-22 turbocharged diesel engine running at 1,500 RPM with 38hp, providing smooth and quiet operation
• Engine gauges for easy monitoring of performance parameters

Specifications:

• Rated output: 400A at 36V (100% duty cycle), 450A at 38V (60% duty cycle)
• Output range: 30-500A
• Generator output: 14.5 kW
• Dimensions (HxWxL): 913 mm x 687 mm x 1,590 mm
• Weight: 586 kg

The Lincoln Vantage 500 CE is engineered to deliver reliable, multi-process welding performance with robust construction and advanced safety features, making it an ideal choice for professional welders requiring flexibility and durability in engine-driven welding equipment.
