Page 11: Synergic Welding Modes
ALUMMIG GMAW SETUP SYNERGIC WELDING MODES The synergic welding modes for no pulse, single pulse and dual pulse allow ease of setup with this machine by selecting the welding consumable type then setting the thickness on the main welding screen. The program then can be fine-tuned for the joint type and welding position using the trim and other functions. - Page 12 ALUMMIG GMAW SETUP VOLTAGE & ARC LENGTH This setting adjusts the voltage which relates to the arc length and overall heat input of the weld. Higher voltage settings eg +6 arc length will produce a longer hotter arc making the wire burn back closer to the torch tip. Lower voltage settings will produce a colder shorter arc eg -5 arc length with the arc burning closer to the weld pool.
