ESAB · Weld Data Monitoring & Quality Assurance
The ESAB Checkmaster 600R is a resistive load bank that simulates an arc for the calibration, validation and function testing of welding power sources from 150 A to 500 A, delivering 0–600 A DC and 0–40 V with automated load switching, compliant with IEC 60974-14 and ISO 17662.

Where it is used
Features
A resistive load bank presents the power source with a controlled, repeatable load instead of a real arc. Testing a machine by welding introduces the operator, the consumable and the joint into the measurement; a load bank removes all three, which is what makes a calibration defensible.
Load switching is automated, which ESAB states enhances user safety. Changing taps by hand on a live high-current load is the part of manual calibration that goes wrong, and automating it removes that exposure.
Linked with the ESAB WeldScanner, minimal user intervention is needed for calibration or validation. The pairing is what turns a calibration from a two-person afternoon into a largely automatic sequence.
Integration with the WeldScanner allows parallel operation of two Checkmaster 600R units, automatically switching resistive loads simultaneously. That streamlines large-scale measurement tasks and supports calibrations up to 1200 A — which is what submerged arc and heavy multi-process equipment requires.
DC capability is 0–600 A and 0–40 V. AC capability is 0–420 A (600 A peak) and 0–40 V (60 V peak), with true RMS measurement for sinusoidal waveforms. A DC-only load bank cannot validate an AC TIG machine.
Equipped with a gas flow socket (GM30L series), a wire feed speed socket (DV25 series) and a traversal speed socket, so the full parameter set is captured from one connection point rather than from scattered adapters.
Features extra stable resistive load elements and is GTAW high-frequency ignition proof. Load element stability is what keeps successive calibrations comparable; HF proofing is what lets you calibrate a TIG machine at all.
The Checkmaster 600R and its sensors are delivered with printed calibration certificates traceable to national standards. The recommended recalibration interval is annual.

Frequently asked
It gives a welding power source a controlled, repeatable electrical load instead of a real arc, so the machine’s output can be measured without the operator, consumable and joint affecting the result. That is what makes a calibration or validation defensible rather than indicative.
Power sources from 150 A to 500 A, with a load range of 12–600 A. Two units operated in parallel through the WeldScanner support calibrations up to 1200 A.
Yes. AC capability is 0–420 A (600 A peak) and 0–40 V (60 V peak), with true RMS measurement for sinusoidal waveforms, alongside 0–600 A and 0–40 V DC.
Yes — it is GTAW high-frequency ignition proof, so HF starting will not damage it.
It enables calibration and validation to IEC 60974-14 and ISO 17662, aligning with ISO 9001-based quality system requirements. Calibration is traceable to national standards.
The Checkmaster provides the load; the WeldScanner Validator provides the measurement and issues the certificate. Linked together, minimal user intervention is needed. The combined package HKS0003100 supplies both, and HKS0020012 supplies the Checkmaster with the P350/500 sensor.
Annually. The unit and its sensors are delivered with printed calibration certificates traceable to national standards.
