| Software notes | The machine is controlled via an integrated LCD panel that displays three lines of simultaneous information: wire and gas type, current and material thickness, voltage, and wire feed speed. The system includes 37 pre-loaded synergic curves that optimize welding parameters based on the material, significantly streamlining the initial setup. It also features specific functions dedicated to aluminum welding, such as automatic Hot Start and Crater Filler for a perfect weld bead closure. | The interface is built around a highly responsive and intuitive 7-inch color touchscreen panel. The operating system features an open and modular architecture, allowing operators to save up to 99 customized work programs (JOB function) and install numerous optional packages for advanced user profiling, quality control, and pulsed capabilities (Double Pulse, 3DPulse, SRS). It fully supports Industry 4.0 protocols via an integrated Web Server, offering remote management and monitoring from a PC or mobile device. Firmware updates are quickly and easily executed through a standard USB port. |
