This PulseDrive program sets the machine up for pulsed arc welding with G3/4 Si1 (ER70S-6) class wires, 0.8 mm, with M20 shielding gas. You get pulsed arc and double pulse, useful where the look of the weld face matters.
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. Typical work: steel structures, frames, tanks and machine parts in unalloyed and low-alloy steel.

FAQ
Which machine can run this program?
Any machine on the list above. Give the machine model and serial number with your order so we can confirm compatibility with its software. Whether our service installs it or it comes as a manufacturer update is settled after the order.
PulseDrive or QuickPulse?
QuickPulse is a T.MAP process: the price list credits it with faster welding, higher deposition rate, a more concentrated arc and less heat. It covers fewer machines, not URANOS NX 2700. QuickPulse for this set-up: QuickPulse 0.8 mm, gas M20 (79.QP.012).
Does it suit wire from any manufacturer?
Yes, if the wire belongs to the G3/4 Si1 (ER70S-6) class, which you can check on the spool label. If you weld with BÖHLER EMK 8, choose the program tuned to it: PulseDrive BÖHLER EMK 8 0.8 mm, gas M20 (79.P1.23599).
