This synergic ArcDrive program is set up for BFCW class wires, 1.6 mm diameter, with M21 shielding gas. This is classic MIG/MAG without pulse: short arc at lower currents and spray arc at higher ones.
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. Use it for unalloyed and low-alloy steels in the workshop and in production. M21 is the most widely used mixture for structural steels.

Wire for this program
The program suits BFCW class wires from any manufacturer. BFCW is the designation used in the Böhler Welding price list; it stands for this wire type: basic flux-cored wire (BFCW). From the Böhler Welding range in our shop, diamondspark 52 BC matches this class.
Other programs for this wire
- ArcDrive 1.2 mm, gas M21 (79.S1.020)
- PulseDrive 1.6 mm, gas M21 (79.P1.022)
- PulseDrive 1.2 mm, gas M21 (79.P1.020)
FAQ
Can I add this program to my TERRA NX or URANOS NX?
Yes, as long as your machine is in the selection list above. Give the machine model and serial number with your order so we can confirm compatibility with its software. Whether our service installs it or it comes as a manufacturer update is settled 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 M21 (79.P1.022).
Does it suit wire from any manufacturer?
Yes, if it is a basic flux-cored wire (BFCW) for unalloyed steel. The spool label will not show the abbreviation BFCW, so if in doubt send us the wire name before ordering.
