This ArcDrive program sets up the machine to weld with CrNi 19 9 FCW (E308) class wires, 0.9 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
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 on stainless steels, where a clean weld and little spatter count.

FAQ
Which machine can run this program?
Any machine on the list above. 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.
Does it suit wire from any manufacturer?
Yes, if the wire belongs to the CrNi 19 9 FCW (E308) class, which you can check on the spool label. If you weld with FOXcore 308L-T1, choose the program tuned to it: ArcDrive FOXcore 308L-T1 0.9 mm, gas M21 (79.S1.08599).
