This synergic ArcDrive program is set up for Thermanit GE 316L Si wire, 1.0 mm diameter, with M12 shielding gas. It covers short arc and spray arc, in manual and synergic mode.
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. The program is meant for stainless and acid-resistant steels. M12 is argon with a small CO2 addition, a typical gas for stainless steel.

FAQ
Which machine can run this program?
Any machine on the list above. 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. The PulseDrive version of this program: PulseDrive 1.0 mm, gas M12 (79.P1.05599).
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) 1.0 mm, gas M12 (79.S1.055).
