ArcDrive program for CrNi 25 20 (ER310) class wires, 0.8 mm, with M12 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. Use it on stainless steels, where a clean weld and little spatter count. M12 is argon with a small CO2 addition, a typical gas for stainless steel.

FAQ
Can I add this program to my TERRA NX or URANOS NX?
Yes, if your model is 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. The PulseDrive version of this program: PulseDrive 0.8 mm, gas M12 (79.P1.074).
Does it suit wire from any manufacturer?
Yes, if the wire belongs to the CrNi 25 20 (ER310) class, which you can check on the spool label. If your wire is unusual, contact us before ordering.
