| Software notes | The system is equipped with the exclusive sMIG (Smart MIG) technology, an advanced feature that learns and adapts to the operator's technique. The software dynamically analyzes arc variations and continuously adjusts the output parameters in real time, ensuring a smooth metal transfer and an extremely stable arc regardless of the user's experience level. This technology significantly reduces setup times and improves weld repeatability. Interaction takes place via an intuitive TFT color display that offers a comprehensive multi-language user interface. From the screen, operators can manage not only basic settings but also advanced parameters such as inductance control, pre-flow and post-flow timings, spot welding configurations, and save up to four dedicated memory profiles for each individual machining process, greatly speeding up setup changes. | The user interface is centered around a bright and intuitive 5-inch TFT screen, allowing easy access to all welding parameters. The system features built-in synergic weld programs, enabling quick and precise arc adjustments via a single control knob. Ten memory slots are available to save and recall frequently used jobs, significantly streamlining setup times. The machine also offers arc dynamics control to fine-tune the response between a soft or crisp arc depending on the material, and it can automatically detect a connected spool gun to further simplify the transition to aluminum welding operations. The interface supports multiple languages and includes automated functions like run-in and burn-back adjustments, providing users with industrial-level control in a compact package. |
