This PulseDrive program sets the machine up for pulsed arc welding with CuSi3 (ERCuSi) class wires, 1.2 mm, with I1 shielding gas. Pulsed arc and double pulse make thin sheet and positional welds easier.
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. CuSi3 wire is also used for MIG brazing of galvanised sheet. The 1.2 mm diameter suits medium and thicker plate, typical in fabrication work.

FAQ
Can I add this program to my TERRA NX or URANOS NX?
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. 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.S1.100).
Does it suit wire from any manufacturer?
Yes, if the wire belongs to the CuSi3 (ERCuSi) class, which you can check on the spool label. If your wire is unusual, contact us before ordering.
