| Software notes | The welding machine's operational interface relies entirely on an advanced control panel integrated directly into the power source, freeing the operator from needing external software or cloud-based applications for setup. The onboard system provides comprehensive synergic control, offering over sixty pre-set curves specifically optimized for various wire diameters and material types, including iron, stainless steel, aluminum, and brazing wires for galvanized sheets. This internal programming automatically manages the complex parameters of current and wire feed speed in both pulsed and double-pulsed modes. Furthermore, the intuitive panel allows fine-tuning of specific functions tailored for aluminum welding, such as the initial current level, automatic Hot Start to facilitate arc ignition, and a Crater Filler for optimal weld bead closure. | — |
