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.
