This ArcDrive program sets up the machine to weld with Al99,5 (ER1050) class wires, 1.2 mm, with I1 shielding gas. You work in synergic or manual mode, with short arc or spray arc.
What it is for
Each program covers one combination: wire, diameter, gas. You enter wire speed or material thickness and the machine selects voltage and arc shape. The program is meant for aluminium and its alloys. Al99.5 is a wire for commercially pure aluminium. The 1.2 mm diameter suits medium and thicker plate, typical in fabrication work.

FAQ
Which machine can run this program?
Any machine on the list above. ArcDrive has the widest machine list: it also covers TERRA NX 320/400 SMC SteelDrive and TERRA NX 400/500 MSE. You buy the program for one specific machine: give its model and serial number with your order. Installation (service visit or manufacturer update) is agreed after the order.
Should I choose RapiDeep instead of ArcDrive?
If productivity matters to you, yes. RapiDeep is a T.MAP process: the price list credits it with faster welding, better penetration and less heat. The guide does not list it for TERRA NX 400/500 MSE or URANOS NX 2700. The same set-up in RapiDeep: RapiDeep 1.2 mm, gas I1 (79.RD.116).
Does it suit wire from any manufacturer?
Yes, if the wire belongs to the Al99,5 (ER1050) class, which you can check on the spool label. If your wire is unusual, contact us before ordering.
