Explore the Advanced Capabilities of the WIRE FEEDER WF NX 430 STEELDRIVE
? SteelDrive Software Package.
The WF NX 430 STEELDRIVE feeder is fully compatible with Böhler Welding’s advanced SteelDrive software package. This package, activated in the power source, significantly expands the capabilities of the welding system. It gives the user access to a color LCD display (also integrated into the feeder for easy operation), which facilitates navigation and precise parameter selection.
A key benefit of SteelDrive is the unlocking of Böhler Arc’s expanded library of synergy programs (up to 600), optimized for different materials, shielding gases and wire diameters. The SteelDrive package also provides compatibility with U/D MIG welding fixtures, allowing remote parameter adjustment directly from the fixture. This solution translates into greater flexibility, speed of setup and excellent repeatability of welding results in demanding industrial applications.
? RapiDeep Advanced Welding Process
The Böhler Welding WF NX 430 STEELDRIVE enables full use of the innovative RapiDeep MIG/MAG process, available on Böhler Welding power sources equipped with the SteelDrive package (such as the TERRA NX series). RapiDeep is an optimized short arc process characterized by an extremely concentrated and stable welding arc.
The main benefits of the RapiDeep process are significantly deeper penetration and fusion compared to standard short-circuit welding, while reducing the amount of heat input (HI) into the material. This allows for increased welding speeds of up to 30-50%, reduced distortion, and the ability to weld thicker materials with lower currents. RapiDeep is ideal for welding carbon and stainless steels, especially in forced positions and for fillet and butt welds requiring excellent fusion quality.
? Böhler Arc Synergy Programs (enhanced by SteelDrive)
The WF NX 430 STEELDRIVE feeder, working with Böhler Welding sources with the SteelDrive package, provides access to Böhler Arc‘s extensive library of synergy programs – up to 600 dedicated curves. These advanced programs are the result of Voestalpine Böhler Welding’s years of research and experience in metallurgy and welding technology.
Each synergy program is precisely tailored to the specific combination of weld material (carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, core wires), wire diameter and shielding gas type. After selecting the appropriate program, the welder adjusts only one parameter (e.g., wire feed speed or welding current), and the machine automatically adjusts the remaining values, such as arc voltage, ensuring optimal welding conditions. This results in a significant simplification of operation, a reduction in the time required to set the parameters, a minimization of the risk of errors, and a guarantee of reproducible, high-quality welds by welders with different levels of experience.
