This synergic ArcDrive program is set up for AlMg5 (ER5356) class wires, 1.6 mm diameter, with I1 shielding gas. You work in synergic or manual mode, with short arc or spray arc.
What it is for
The program holds synergic curves for this one combination of wire, diameter and gas. You change wire feed speed or plate thickness and the machine sets voltage and arc shape itself. The program is meant for aluminium and its alloys. AlMg5 is used on aluminium-magnesium alloys.

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. When ordering, give the model and serial number of the machine the program is for. Installation, by our service or as a manufacturer update, is agreed after the order.
How does ArcDrive differ from PulseDrive?
ArcDrive welds with short and spray arc, without pulse. PulseDrive adds pulsed arc and double pulse, which helps on thin sheet and in position. The PulseDrive version of this program: PulseDrive 1.6 mm, gas I1 (79.P1.109).
Does it suit wire from any manufacturer?
Yes, if the wire belongs to the AlMg5 (ER5356) class, which you can check on the spool label. If you weld with Union AlMg5, choose the program tuned to it: ArcDrive Union AlMg5 1.6 mm, gas I1 (79.S1.10999).
