This PulseDrive program sets the machine up for pulsed arc welding with Thermanit GE 316L Si wire, 1.6 mm, with M12 shielding gas. It provides pulsed arc and double pulse, which means less spatter and better pool control.
What it is for
Each program covers one combination: wire, diameter, gas. You enter wire speed or material thickness and the machine selects voltage and arc shape. The program is meant for stainless and acid-resistant steels. The 1.6 mm diameter is for thick parts where deposition per hour matters.

FAQ
Can I add this program to my TERRA NX or URANOS NX?
Yes, if your model is on the list above. 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.
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 1.6 mm, gas M12 (79.QP.05799).
Can I use another ER316LSi wire?
The curves are tuned to Thermanit GE 316L Si. For other brands of the same class the price list offers the Universal ARC line, here: PulseDrive CrNi 19 12 3 (ER316) 1.6 mm, gas M12 (79.P1.057).
