This synergic ArcDrive program is set up for CuAl8 (ERCuAl) class wires, 1.2 mm diameter, with I1 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. The program is meant for copper and bronzes. Pure argon is the standard shield for aluminium, copper and nickel alloys. The 1.2 mm diameter suits medium and thicker plate, typical in fabrication work.

FAQ
Can I add this program to my TERRA NX or URANOS NX?
Yes, if your model is 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. 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. The PulseDrive version of this program: PulseDrive 1.2 mm, gas I1 (79.P1.096).
Does it suit wire from any manufacturer?
Yes, if the wire belongs to the CuAl8 (ERCuAl) class, which you can check on the spool label. If your wire is unusual, contact us before ordering.
