This program runs the advanced T.MAP QuickPulse process for Al99,5 (ER1050) class wires, 1.2 mm diameter, with I1 shielding gas. The manufacturer lists a more concentrated arc, less heat and fewer weld defects for QuickPulse. It belongs to the Universal ARC line: it works with wires of this class from any manufacturer.
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 aluminium and its alloys. Al99.5 is a wire for commercially pure aluminium. Pure argon is the standard shield for aluminium, copper and nickel 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. QuickPulse is not listed for TERRA NX SMC SteelDrive, TERRA NX MSE or URANOS NX 2700. 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 QuickPulse differ from PulseDrive?
PulseDrive is synergic welding with pulsed arc and double pulse. QuickPulse is a T.MAP process: the price list credits it with faster welding, better penetration, a more stable arc and fewer defects. PulseDrive for this set-up: PulseDrive 1.2 mm, gas I1 (79.P1.116).
Does it suit wire from any manufacturer?
Yes, if the wire belongs to the Al99,5 (ER1050) class, which you can check on the spool label. If your wire is unusual, contact us before ordering.
