Abstract
An engine driven welder includes a generator configured to provide an electrical output, an engine coupled to the generator, an air compression system coupled to the engine, a first welding system coupled to the generator, and a second welding system. The engine is configured to drive the generator, and the air compression system is configured to provide a pneumatic output. The first welding system is configured to provide a first weld output, and the second welding system is configured to provide a second weld output. The second weld output is independent of the first weld output in an independent mode, and the second weld output is combined with the first weld output as a combined weld output in a parallel mode.
