• Pulsed
This pulsed current welding mode combines strong current pulses (I, welding pulse) with weak current pulses (I_Cold, cooling pulse). This pulsed
mode allows parts to be assembled whilst limiting both the temperature rise and amount of distortion. Also ideal for in-position welding.
Example:
The welding current (I) is set to 100 A and % (I_Cold) is set to 50%, i.e. cold current = 50% x 100 A = 50 A.
F (Hz) is set to 10 Hz, the frequency of the pulse will be 1/10 Hz = 100 ms; this means that every 100 ms, there will be a pulse at 100 A, then
another at 50 A will follow.
• SPOT WELDING
This spot welding mode allows parts to be pre-assembled before welding. Spot welding can be controlled manually using the trigger or by a predefined
time delay. This spot welding time makes it easier to reproduce and produce non-oxidised spot welds.
• Multi-Spot
This is a spot welding mode similar to SPOT TIG but with defined spot welding and stopping times as long as the trigger is held down.
• AC Mixed
This AC welding method is used to weld aluminium and its thick alloys. It mixes DC sequences during AC welding processes which increases the
energy delivered to the workpiece. The ultimate goal is to accelerate the work flow rate and, therefore, subsequent productivity when assembling
aluminium. This mode cleans the workpiece less, so it is important to work on clean sheet metal.
E-TIG
This mode allows welding with a constant power supply by measuring the arc length variations in real time to ensure a weld bead with consistent
width and penetration. In cases where the assembly process requires the welding energy to be controlled, E-TIG mode guarantees that the welder
will respect the welding power regardless of the torch’s position in relation to the workpiece.

Wizard Lab
This welding mode allows complex (non-standard) welding cycles to be carried out with a series of steps. Each step is characterised by a current
ramp, a step and a particular current type (DC, AC or pulsed).
Wizard Lab is configured in three stages:
- welding cycle sequence (number of steps, repetition loops, etc.)
- each step’s parameter settings (ramp and current type, etc.)
- specific, advanced parameter settings

Step
STEP: each step can be customised by changing the current type (DC or AC), the current form (standard or pulsed) as well as the ramp up to the
set welding current (see «Setting a STEP» section). Each step can be fully customised.
Welding cycle: a welding cycle consists of a Pre-Gas stage, one or more welding steps (see «Welding Cycle Definition» section) and a Post-Gas
stage.
Loops: there are two different loops (see «Definition of the welding cycle» section):
• The welding cycle’s inner loop (B1). Within the cycle, the user can choose to make one or more loops (repeating two or more of the welding
steps); the user can even carry out infinite loops depending on the application, for example, AC MIX welding, which repeats two DC and AC steps.
• Cycle loops (B2). The user can choose to repeat the cycle (excluding the Pre-Gas and Post-Gas phases) once or several times (or even infinitely).
They can also adjust the delay period between two repeated welding steps if necessary (e.g. MULTITACK welding, which repeats the TACK welding
cycle with a delay period between two points as long as the trigger is held down).
