| 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. | This welder does not rely on any external control software or require cloud connectivity. The interface is based on direct manual controls via potentiometers, complemented by two digital displays that show preset voltage and wire feed speed during setup, as well as actual values during welding. The lack of complex IT management makes it a purely analog product that is straightforward to operate in the field. |
