| Software notes | The machine's operating system features 28 pre-loaded synergic curves to manage various wire diameters (ranging from 0.6 to 1.2 mm) and materials. A front-facing LCD panel allows the operator to simultaneously monitor and adjust wire type, shielding gas, material thickness, voltage, and wire feed speed in real time. The software capabilities can be expanded by purchasing dedicated upgrades, such as the activation of the Pulsed MIG process (Art. 238) or double current level, which add over 30 specialized programs for working on thin metal sheets or light alloys. | The system is equipped with the exclusive sMIG (Smart MIG) technology, an advanced feature that learns and adapts to the operator's technique. The software dynamically analyzes arc variations and continuously adjusts the output parameters in real time, ensuring a smooth metal transfer and an extremely stable arc regardless of the user's experience level. This technology significantly reduces setup times and improves weld repeatability. Interaction takes place via an intuitive TFT color display that offers a comprehensive multi-language user interface. From the screen, operators can manage not only basic settings but also advanced parameters such as inductance control, pre-flow and post-flow timings, spot welding configurations, and save up to four dedicated memory profiles for each individual machining process, greatly speeding up setup changes. |
