This ArcDrive program sets up the machine to weld with Thermanit GE 316L Si wire, 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.

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. 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.
Should I choose RapiDeep instead of ArcDrive?
If productivity matters to you, yes. RapiDeep is a T.MAP process: the price list credits it with faster welding, better penetration and less heat. The guide does not list it for TERRA NX 400/500 MSE or URANOS NX 2700. The same set-up in RapiDeep: RapiDeep 0.8 mm, gas M12 (79.RD.05499).
Can I use another ER316LSi wire?
The curves are tuned to Thermanit GE 316L Si. For other brands of the same class the price list offers the Universal ARC line, here: ArcDrive CrNi 19 12 3 (ER316) 0.8 mm, gas M12 (79.S1.054).
