| Software notes | The user interface is operated via an LCD touch screen, designed for intuitive control over all parameters. The system integrates a broad range of pre-loaded synergic curves for solid wire, flux-cored wire, and aluminum. Unlockable software options are available for Pulse and Double Pulse functions, along with specific processes such as MIG SHORT HD (High Deposit) and optimized cycles for aluminum welding (Automatic Hot Start and Crater Filler). The machine's firmware allows for rapid updates via a USB port. | As a step-regulated transformer welding machine, it features no management software or digital interface. Parameter control is purely electromechanical via selectors on the front panel, providing 10 positions for voltage adjustment along with potentiometers for manual regulation of wire feed speed and spot-welding time. |
