4-7. Millermatic 350P Aluminum Differences vs Standard Millermatic 350/350P

1.

Aluminum Only 

 The Millermatic 350P Aluminum has been optimized for Aluminum welding.  Steel, Stainless Steel, and Metal Core wire types 

are not intended to be used with the Millermatic 350P Aluminum.

2.

New .040” wire diameter 

 The .040” wire diameter has been added to all Aluminum programs to provide the user with more wire options.

3.

Torque motor vs. Constant Speed motor 

 One of the major improvements to the Millermatic 350P Aluminum is the new torque motor.  The new 

torque motor virtually eliminates all feeding problems, downtime related to aluminum shaving, birds nesting, and destroyed liners.

4.

Gun Calibration vs. Motor Calibration 

 The Millermatic 350P relied on precisely matching the speeds of the push motor and the pull motor.  

Variations in each of the motors resulted in wire feeding issues.  The new torque motor eliminates many of the feeding issues.  However, for 

optimum performance Miller has added a Gun calibration routine to the Millermatic 350P Aluminum.  This new routine allows the welding machine 

to learn the physical characteristics of the gun and adjust its operation to provide the most ideal feeding scenario.  See Section 6-15 for 

more detailed information on Gun Calibration.

5.

SUP is gone 

 The new torque motor eliminates the need for SUP value in the Millermatic 350P Aluminum.

6.

Jog/Purge Button 

 For increased ease of use the Millermatic 350P Aluminum has a Jog/Purge button.  With the press of a button the user can Jog

wire or Purge gas.  See section 6-7 for more information on the Jog feature. See Section 6-8 for more information on the Purge feature.

7.

Trigger Hold 

 The new Millermatic 350P Aluminum includes a Trigger Hold feature to reduce wear and tear on the user.  Long continuous welds 

can now be made without the need for constant trigger pressure.  See section 6-10 for more information on the Trigger Hold feature.

8.

Trigger Schedule Select 

 The new Millermatic 350P Aluminum includes dual schedule which allows an operator to switch between two

pre-programmed weld settings by the quick tap of the trigger.  For more information on this feature see Section 6-16.

9.

Synergic MIG 

  Synergic MIG gives the non-Pulse operators the ability to apply synergic control to the welding output based on the wire feed 

speed.

10. Electronic Wire Spool Brake 

 Allows wire spool to free spool while welding which provides optimum wire free delivery. When the gun trigger is 

released, the brake engages.
