| Software notes | The interface is built around a highly responsive and intuitive 7-inch color touchscreen panel. The operating system features an open and modular architecture, allowing operators to save up to 99 customized work programs (JOB function) and install numerous optional packages for advanced user profiling, quality control, and pulsed capabilities (Double Pulse, 3DPulse, SRS). It fully supports Industry 4.0 protocols via an integrated Web Server, offering remote management and monitoring from a PC or mobile device. Firmware updates are quickly and easily executed through a standard USB port. | The system is based on a proprietary interface featuring a built-in 5-inch TFT screen. The firmware manages preset synergic programs (up to 27 lines) for various combinations of wire, gas, and thicknesses, facilitating the setup of welding parameters via a single knob control. It includes a memory function to save and recall up to 10 customized jobs. There is no wireless connectivity or external cloud interaction, nor does it support PC or smartphone software. All functionalities remain strictly manageable from the control panel of the welder. |
