This synergic ArcDrive program is set up for CrNi 19 12 3 (ER316) class wires, 1.6 mm diameter, with Z 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 stainless and acid-resistant steels.

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.
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.
Does it suit wire from any manufacturer?
Yes, if the wire belongs to the CrNi 19 12 3 (ER316) class, which you can check on the spool label. If your wire is unusual, contact us before ordering.
