This synergic ArcDrive program is set up for BÖHLER Q G3 wire, 1.6 mm diameter, with M20 shielding gas. It covers short arc and spray arc, in manual and synergic mode.
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 unalloyed and low-alloy steels, which covers most structural work.

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. 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.
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 M20 (79.P1.01597).
Can I use this program with a different gas?
No: the curves are made for M20. For C1 choose a separate program: ArcDrive 1.6 mm, gas C1 (79.S1.00597).
