This ArcDrive program sets up the machine to weld with CrNi 19 12 3 FCW (E316) class wires, 1.2 mm, 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
A program is a set of synergic curves for one wire, one diameter and one gas: you set wire speed or material thickness and the machine selects voltage and arc shape. The program is meant for stainless and acid-resistant steels. The 1.2 mm diameter suits medium and thicker plate, typical in fabrication work.

FAQ
Will this program work on my machine?
Yes, if your model is on the 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.
Does it suit wire from any manufacturer?
Yes, if the wire belongs to the CrNi 19 12 3 FCW (E316) class, which you can check on the spool label. If you weld with FOXcore GUARD 316L-T1, choose the program tuned to it: ArcDrive FOXcore GUARD 316L-T1 1.2 mm, gas M21 (79.S1.28399).
