5.11 TIG Synergic operating principle

Figure 5-13

The machine is operated according to the TIG Synergic operating principle:
In a similar way to the MIG machines with Synergic operation, three basic parameters

–

•  Tungsten electrode diameter (A),
•  Material type (B) and
•  Seam type (C)
are used to select the welding task (JOB).

All welding parameters specified here are the optimum settings for a variety of applications, but they can
also be modified individually.

The required welding current can be set as the sheet metal thickness or conventionally as the welding
current (D).

The parameters and functions described here can also be programmed by PC using the
Tetrix PC300.NET welding parameter software.

The Tetrix machine range has been designed to be very easy and quick to operate, whilst still providing
all the functions one could ever need.
