This PulseDrive program sets the machine up for pulsed arc welding with CrNi 19 12 3 (ER316) class wires, 1.0 mm, with M12 shielding gas. You get pulsed arc and double pulse, useful where the look of the weld face matters.
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. A 1.0 mm wire is a good choice for thin and medium sheet.

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 PulseDrive differ from ArcDrive?
ArcDrive means short and spray arc without pulse. PulseDrive gives pulsed arc and double pulse: less spatter and easier pool control. ArcDrive for this set-up: ArcDrive 1.0 mm, gas M12 (79.S1.055).
Does it suit wire from any manufacturer?
Yes, if the wire belongs to the CrNi 19 12 3 (ER316) class, which you can check on the spool label. If you weld with Thermanit GE 316L Si, choose the program tuned to it: PulseDrive Thermanit GE 316L Si 1.0 mm, gas M12 (79.P1.05599).
