This PulseDrive program sets the machine up for pulsed arc welding with CuAl8 (ERCuAl) class wires, 1.2 mm, with I1 shielding gas. It provides pulsed arc and double pulse, which means less spatter and better pool control. It belongs to the Universal ARC line: it works with wires of this class from any manufacturer.
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. Pure argon is the standard shield for aluminium, copper and nickel alloys.

FAQ
Will this program work on my machine?
Yes, as long as your machine is in the selection list above. TERRA NX 320/400 SMC SteelDrive and TERRA NX 400/500 MSE are not listed for PulseDrive in the selection guide. 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 1.2 mm, gas I1 (79.S1.096).
Does it suit wire from any manufacturer?
Yes, if the wire belongs to the CuAl8 (ERCuAl) class, which you can check on the spool label. If your wire is unusual, contact us before ordering.
