Software notes The interface relies on a 5-inch color LCD display that allows for quick selection of material, gas, and thickness. The operating system includes over 75 pre-set synergic curves for steel, aluminum, and special alloys like CuSi3. The firmware and welding curves can be updated over time via a dedicated kit to keep the machine up to date with new material evolutions. 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.
