| 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 machine's operating system features advanced synergic control, significantly streamlining the setup of operating parameters. The SYNSTAR 400 TS comes standard with over sixty pre-loaded synergic programs, carefully optimized for various alloys, thicknesses, and wire diameters (iron, aluminum, stainless steel, and flux-cored wire). Users can save their custom settings in the system's memory for quick retrieval during repetitive tasks. The color LCD interface provides a clear and intuitive real-time readout of all welding values. Furthermore, the welder's base software is highly expandable: sophisticated features such as pulsed and double-pulsed welding are available via dedicated software upgrade packages. This modular approach allows the operator to adapt the power source to new and more complex welding requirements over time. |
