This RapiDeep program runs the T.MAP process for BÖHLER Q G4 wire, 1.6 mm, with M20 shielding gas. The manufacturer lists a more stable arc, less heat and fewer weld defects for RapiDeep.
What it is for
A program is a set of synergic curves for one wire, one diameter and one gas: you set wire speed or material thickness and the machine selects voltage and arc shape. The program is meant for unalloyed and low-alloy steels, which covers most structural work. M20 contains less CO2 than M21, so the arc is calmer and produces less spatter.

FAQ
Can I add this program to my TERRA NX or URANOS NX?
Yes, if your model is 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.
How does RapiDeep differ from ArcDrive?
ArcDrive is standard synergic welding with short and spray arc. RapiDeep is a T.MAP process: per the price list faster welding, better penetration and a more concentrated arc with less heat. ArcDrive for this set-up: ArcDrive 1.6 mm, gas M20 (79.S1.01596).
Can I use this program with a different gas?
No: the curves are made for M20. For M21 choose a separate program: RapiDeep 1.6 mm, gas M21 (79.RD.01096).
