Wise processes: using DProcess
DProcess is a welding process that lets you combine two completely different sets of welding parameters that may even
include different welding processes. This way you can optimize the welding arc for the desired application, such as ver-
tical up welding.
To use DProcess, you need to define an alternative set of welding parameters (set 2), which will then be combined with
the currently selected values (set 1). You can do this by selecting the DProcess menu in the Settings view of your Con-
trol Pad:
•
DProcess frequency: Define the frequency of the DProcess cycle.
•
DProcess time percentage: Define the relative time portion of set 1 throughout the DProcess cycle.
•
Welding program #2: Select the welding program to be used in set 2. The list contains all welding programs that are
based on suitable materials.
•
Wire Feed Speed #2: Define the wire feed speed for set 2.
>> min: Define the minimum set value for wire feed speed.
>> max: Define the maximum set value for wire feed speed.
•
Fine tuning #2: Fine tune the voltage for set 2.
>> Dynamics: -10...+10. Adjusts the short circuit behavior. On the minus side, the arc is softer (less spatter). On the
plus side, the arc is harder (the arc is more stable).
During welding, X8 MIG Welder uses both welding parameter sets in the manner that you have chosen in the frequency
and time percentage settings.
In the Welding view, you can change the welding values separately for set 1 and set 2. To select which set is active,
press the left knob button.
The best way to get full benefit from the DProcess process is to use Kemppi's ready-made welding parameter tables.
With DProcess, you can use the following welding processes and their combinations: 1-MIG, Pulse, WiseRoot+ and
WiseThin+. Also, WiseFusion function can be used, if you are using 1-MIG or Pulse or their combination.
Wise processes: using WiseRoot+
The WiseRoot+ welding process improves the quality of root pass welds.
WiseRoot+ is a synergic MIG/MAG process optimized for open-gap root pass welding. The process is based on precise
measurement of voltage between the welding gun nozzle and the workpiece. The measurement data serves as input for
