PulseDrive program for CuAl8 (ERCuAl) class wires, 1.6 mm, with I1 shielding gas. It provides pulsed arc and double pulse, which means less spatter and better pool control. It is part of the Universal ARC line, programs for a wire class rather than one brand.
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 copper and bronzes. The 1.6 mm diameter is for thick parts where deposition per hour matters. Pure argon is the standard shield for aluminium, copper and nickel alloys.

FAQ
Will this program work on my machine?
Yes, if your model is on the list above. TERRA NX 320/400 SMC SteelDrive and TERRA NX 400/500 MSE are not listed for PulseDrive in the selection guide. 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.
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 1.6 mm, gas I1 (79.S1.097).
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.
