| 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. | — |
