| Software notes | The power source is managed through a 5-inch color LCD touchscreen interface, allowing intuitive control of all welding functions. The operator can easily select parameters, activate MIG Short, pulse, or double pulse functions, and access aluminum-specific features such as Automatic Hot Start and Automatic Crater Filler. System firmware updates are performed quickly and simply via the integrated USB port. It is also pre-arranged for wireless connectivity with personal protective equipment, such as a compatible auto-darkening welding helmet. | The power source is equipped with ESAB's exclusive sMIG (Smart MIG) technology, an intelligent control system that continuously monitors arc characteristics to adapt to the operator's technique, ensuring a stable and repeatable weld. The interface is built around a multilingual color TFT display, which includes welding parameter guides and an integrated spare parts list. |
