? SteelDrive Advanced Control Interface
SteelDrive is a key component of the WF NX 430 feeder, transforming it into an intelligent welding process management center. Often combined with an easy-to-read LCD display (depending on the system’s configuration with the power source), this advanced software and user interface package gives the welder full control over parameters and access to advanced features. With SteelDrive, the user can fine-tune arc characteristics and other key settings, which is essential when working with demanding materials and applications.
The benefit for the professional is a significant simplification of operation with access to highly specialized settings. SteelDrive allows personalized programs to be saved and recalled, guaranteeing repeatable results and reducing preparation time, especially when frequently changing welding tasks. This ‘Made in Europe’ solution improves welding efficiency and precision.
? Böhler Arc Synergy Programs
The WF NX 430 feeder with SteelDrive interface provides access to Böhler Arc‘s extensive library of synergy programs, including up to 600 predefined curves for different materials (carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, core wires), wire diameters and shielding gases. The Böhler Arc system automatically adjusts key welding parameters (e.g., arc voltage) depending on the set wire feed speed or material thickness.
For the welder, this means a drastic reduction in the time needed to set up the equipment and minimizing the risk of errors. The programs are the result of years of research and experience at Voestalpine Böhler Welding, guaranteeing optimal welding conditions and the highest weld quality without time-consuming testing. This is a real increase in productivity and a reduction in material costs.
⚡ RapiDeep process (available through SteelDrive with compatible source)
The SteelDrive interface on the WF NX 430 feeder enables efficient management of the innovative RapiDeep MIG/MAG process when the feeder is partnered with a compatible Böhler Welding power source (such as the TERRA NX series with the SteelDrive option). RapiDeep is a special process characterized by a concentrated arc and deeper penetration while reducing heat input (HI).
The key benefit for the professional is the ability to weld at higher speeds, up to 50% higher compared to standard MIG/MAG methods, while maintaining excellent quality and fusion depth. The RapiDeep process reduces the risk of material distortion and allows welding thicker parts without beveling or with less joint preparation. This means significant time and operating cost savings in demanding industrial applications.
