This PulseDrive pulse program is set up for Union AlMg4,5 Mn wire, 1.2 mm diameter, with I3 shielding gas. You get pulsed arc and double pulse, useful where the look of the weld face matters.
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 aluminium and its alloys. The 1.2 mm diameter suits medium and thicker plate, typical in fabrication work.

FAQ
Which machine can run this program?
Any machine 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 I3 (79.S1.15299).
Can I use another ER5183 wire?
The curves are tuned to Union AlMg4,5 Mn. Another wire may behave differently, so contact us and we will match a program to the wire you use.
