DEFINITION OF WELDING TERMS

NON-SYNERGIC WELDING MODES
• A Non-synergic welding mode requires all welding
process variables to be set by the operator.
SYNERGIC WELDING MODES
• A Synergic welding mode offers the simplicity of
single knob control. The machine will select the
correct voltage and amperage based on the wire
feed speed (WFS) set by the operator.
