| 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. | — |
