The WiseFusion welding function enables adaptive arc length control, which keeps the arc optimally short and focused.
WiseFusion increases the welding speed and penetration and decreases heat input. WiseFusion can be used throughout
the power range (short arc, globular arc, spray arc and pulsed arc). WiseFusion is compatible with 1-MIG, Pulse and
DPulse welding processes.
To take WiseFusion into use, select Settings > Wise features > WiseFusion.
To adjust the welding power / wire feed speed, in the Control Pad's Welding view, turn the left knob.
To fine tune heat output, in the Control Pad's Welding view, turn the right knob.

Wise features: introduction to WiseSteel

The WiseSteel function is based on modifying the conventional MIG/MAG arcs to enable higher quality of welds.
WiseSteel improves the arc control, reduces spatter and helps create an optimally-formed weld pool.
When using WiseSteel, different adjustment methods are applied at different power ranges (different arcs). Within the
short arc range, WiseSteel is based on adaptive short arc control; that is, the process adjusts the short circuit ratio. This
creates an easily-adjustable arc and less spatter. Within the short arc range, the shape of the current is similar to the tra-
ditional short arc welding. When a short arc is used in vertical up welding where weaving motion is applied, WiseSteel
ensures good quality through adapting to the changes in the stick-out length.
Using WiseSteel on globular arc range means that WiseSteel fluctuates the power between short arc and spray arc at a
low frequency, so that the average power stays within the globular arc range. This results in less spatter than con-
ventional globular arc welding, and a welding pool that enables excellent structural durability.
Within the spray arc range, WiseSteel is based on adaptive arc length control, which keeps the arc optimally short.
WiseSteel also utilizes micro-pulsed welding current. This creates a well-formed weld pool that enables excellent bead
geometry and optimal penetration with smooth and durable joints, and speeds up the work. The pulsing is not notice-
able to the welder. The shape and control of the current are close to the conventional spray arc welding.
