RapiDeep® is Böhler Welding’s patented MIG/MAG welding process, available on equipment with the SteelDrive package, which is revolutionizing steel welding. With an extremely concentrated arc, it provides much deeper weld penetration while reducing heat input (HI). A key benefit for the professional is the ability to increase welding speeds by up to 50% compared to standard MIG/MAG methods.

The RapiDeep® process minimizes the risk of material distortion and allows for more efficient joint preparation (e.g., less beveling), which directly reduces material costs and labor time. It is ideal for welding steel structures, pipelines and wherever high productivity and excellent joint quality are important.

At the heart of the TERRA NX Series, including the TERRA NX 400 SMC model, is the patented MultiLine Three Level® inverter technology. This advanced power control system provides exceptional welding arc stability and dynamics, which is key to achieving superior weld quality. Thanks to the three-level inverter architecture, the unit features high energy efficiency, which translates into lower operating costs.

MultiLine Three Level® technology also enables faster response to changes in welding parameters, ensuring precise control of the process, even in difficult conditions. In addition, it contributes to a reduction in the size and weight of the power source, increasing its mobility and facilitating work in the field. This is the foundation of the reliability and performance of Böhler Welding equipment.

ArcDrive is Böhler Welding’s fundamental but enhanced MIG/MAG welding process that significantly improves the comfort and quality of work. It features an exceptionally stable and highly reactive welding arc, which facilitates welding, especially in demanding forced positions. Operators will appreciate its ability to minimize weld spatter, which significantly reduces the time needed for post-processing and weld cleaning.

The ArcDrive process is optimized for welding a wide range of materials, including carbon steels, stainless steels, aluminum and cored wires. It provides excellent control over the weld pool, resulting in high-quality and aesthetically pleasing completed joints.

The SteelDrive software package on the TERRA NX 400 SMC unlocks the full potential of Böhler Arc’s synergistic welding programs. The user gains access to up to 600 precisely defined synergy curves developed by Böhler Welding experts for different materials, wire diameters and shielding gases. This comprehensive solution eliminates the need for time-consuming manual parameter tuning.

With the Böhler Arc synergy, the welder can quickly select the appropriate program and the machine will automatically choose the optimal welding parameters, guaranteeing reproducible , high quality welds and minimizing the risk of errors. This is particularly valuable in batch production and in the welding of complex structures, where precision and efficiency are key.
