Millermatic® 350/350P Competitive Comparison
Lincoln PowerMig 350 MP |
The Power of Blue® Payoff |
||||
| Input Power | 200/230/460 or 460/575 Single or 3 Phase | 208/230/460/575 Single Phase only | Versatility to operate on Single- or Three-Phase Power. Three-Phase power draws less current making it a more Power efficient welding machine. | ||
| Rated Output | 300 Amps @ 60% single or 3-Phase input voltages | 300 Amps @ 40% on 208 V 300 Amps @ 60% on 230/460/575 V | No de-rating of output, duty cycle on single or Three-Phase power or any input voltage. | ||
| Weight | 181 lbs. | 255 lbs. | Rugged Inverter Solid State Control. Lighter weight makes it easier to move around the shop. | ||
| Processes | Pulse MIG/MIG | Pulse MIG/MIG/Stick/TIG | More does not mean better. High quality MIG arc of the Millermatic 350P makes it a simple solution for your specific MIG welding applications. Why pay for processes that are never used. | ||
| Aluminum Pulse Hot Start™ |  Yes |
 Manual |
Automatically provides more arc power to eliminate a "cold start" that is inherent with aluminum starts. | ||
| User Interface | Setup and Arc Control buttons two displays, and two control knobs. | Two 3-position switches, 3 displays, 2 control knobs, and a program selection chart. | Setup button makes program selection quick and easy. Synergic pulse programs for Steel, Aluminum, Stainless Steel and Metal Core. | ||
| Spoolgun with Synergic Pulse Control | Yes |
No |
Allows operator to change wire feed speed on the spool gun without having to return to the power source to change arc length. | ||
| Arc Control | Yes |
 Yes |
Pulse - SharpArc - Single knob control to optimize the arc cone. MIG - Inductance - Single knob control to control puddle fluidity. | ||
| Digital Meters | Yes |
Yes |
Displays WFS or Amps and Welding voltage. | ||
| Adjustable RUN-IN, Preflow, Postflow | Yes |
Yes |
Provides the operator the ability to optimize the welds starts. | ||
| Programmable Crater Control | Yes |
Yes |
Gives the operator the ability to optimize crater parameters. | ||
| Crater Time Delay | Yes |
No |
Deactivates the Crater Settings when doing tack welds or short welds. | ||
| MIG Gun | 15-ft Bernard® Q300 with Centerfire™ Consumables | 300 amp Magnum | Toolless contact tip replacement with patented Centerfire™ tips. | ||
| Push/Pull Guns | XR-A Aluma-Pro, XR-A Pistol, XR-A Python | Python, Prince, Cobra Max Standard Air-Cooled and Water Cooled Python, Cobra Max and Prince XL push-pull guns still require connection kit. | All Three models of Miller XR-Push/Pull gun have Direct Connect. No Connection Kits needed for the XR-A Aluma-Pro, XR-A Python and XR-A Pistol (Pistol Grip). Gun-On-Demand™ will automatically detect which gun is being used. FasTips and Roughneck consumables standard for all Miller guns. | ||
| Spoolgun Ready | Yes | Yes | Gun-On-Demand with synergic pulse MIG capabilities. Switches on PowerMig 350 MP. | ||
| Compatible with External Wire feeder | New! Millermatic Reach Wire Feeder | No |
Direct connection through the 10-pin on front of the Millermatic. The Millermatic reach is a rugged, lightweight wire feeder increases welding reach of Millermatic MIG welders up to 40 ft; offers dual-feeding capabilities without switching spools of wire. | ||
| Drive Mechanism | 4-Roll | 2-Roll | Industrial wire feed with Quick Change Drive Roll System - Wire has less chance of slipping with 4 drive rolls. | ||
| Cooling | Fan-On-Demand | Fan starts when gun is triggered and runs for five minutes | In dirty dusty environments, Fan-on-demand reduces amount of airborne contaminants pulled through the machine. Fan automatically turns off after unit is cool, saving electricity ($). | ||
| Reliability | Windtunnel Design-protects electronics from dust/debris | Exposed circuit boards | Protects electrical components and PC Boards from contamination, significantly improving reliability by minimizing dirt buildup and maximizing cooling! | ||
| Number of Circuit Boards | 4 | 7 | Simple Miller Design has fewer wiring harnesses and connectors, reducing potential connection problems. | ||
| Internal timers | Gas Saver, Wire Saver | Tip Saver | Prevents unnecessary waste of shielding gas and wire. Saves ($). | ||
| Jog | Yes |
No |
If the trigger is pressed and no arc is detected after 3 seconds, the welding output will be shut off and the unit will go into JOG MODE for feeding wire to the gun. | ||
| Low Cylinder Rack | Yes |
Yes |
Provides easier loading and unloading of gas cylinder. | ||
| Ground Cable/Work Clamp | Yes- 1/0 cable with heavy duty clamp | Yes- 2Ga. cable with standard clamp | 1/0 weld cable properly sized to prevent weld cable from overheating at high amperages. | ||
| Regulator | Yes- Industrial Grade Smith 30 Series regulator | Yes- Gauge style | Industrial Grade Regulator | ||
| Gun Storage | 2-Holsters with cable hanger | 1-Holster, no cable hanger | Removable 2- Holster with cable hanger. | ||
