| Software notes | The user interface is managed via an LCD panel that allows for rapid visualization and adjustment of fundamental parameters such as wire speed, voltage, gas type, and welding process. The machine includes numerous synergic curves for various materials as standard. Through updates or optional packages, the internal software can unlock advanced functionalities like the pulse and double pulse process, further increasing the operational capabilities for working on thin sheets or difficult materials. | 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. |
