This synergic ArcDrive program is set up for RFCW class wires, 1.2 mm diameter, with C1 shielding gas. You work in synergic or manual mode, with short arc or spray arc.
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. Typical work: steel structures, frames, tanks and machine parts in unalloyed and low-alloy steel.

Wire for this program
The program suits RFCW class wires from any manufacturer. RFCW is the designation used in the Böhler Welding price list; it stands for this wire type: rutile flux-cored wire (RFCW). From the Böhler Welding range in our shop, diamondspark 52 RC and BÖHLER Q 71 RC match this class.
Other programs for this wire
- ArcDrive 1.2 mm, gas M21 (79.S1.024)
- ArcDrive 1.6 mm, gas M21 (79.S1.026)
- PulseDrive 1.2 mm, gas M21 (79.P1.024)
FAQ
Can I add this program to my TERRA NX or URANOS NX?
Yes, as long as your machine is in the selection list above. ArcDrive has the widest machine list: it also covers TERRA NX 320/400 SMC SteelDrive and TERRA NX 400/500 MSE. You buy the program for one specific machine: give its model and serial number with your order. Installation (service visit or 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 it is a rutile flux-cored wire (RFCW) for unalloyed steel. The spool label will not show the abbreviation RFCW, so if in doubt send us the wire name before ordering.
