| Software notes | — | The machine is equipped with an intuitive proprietary digital interface featuring a large color display. The "Ready.Set.Weld" system guides the operator through the setup process by suggesting optimal parameters (voltage and wire feed speed) based on inputs such as material type, thickness, and wire diameter. It does not require any external software or cloud connectivity. |
