This synergic ArcDrive program is set up for CuSi3 (ERCuSi) class wires, 0.8 mm diameter, with I1 shielding gas. It covers short arc and spray arc, in manual and synergic mode.
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 copper and bronzes. CuSi3 wire is also used for MIG brazing of galvanised sheet. Pure argon is the standard shield for aluminium, copper and nickel alloys.

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. 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 I1 (79.P1.098).
Does it suit wire from any manufacturer?
Yes, if the wire belongs to the CuSi3 (ERCuSi) class, which you can check on the spool label. If your wire is unusual, contact us before ordering.
