Flow Force
The "Flow Force" functions are primarily used to reduce the gas pre-purge and gas post-purge times.
They offers advanced welding gas settings to optimize welding gas management. The "Flow Force"
functions can be used to optimize not only process time but also annealing colors, gas flow, workpiece
temperature and weld head temperature.
In the gas pre-purge phase before the arc is ignited, the weld head is pressurized with a significantly
larger gas quantity compared to the actual welding gas quantity in order to achieve faster and more effi-
cient purging or removal of residual oxygen from the welding torch.
In the gas post-purge phase, the welding torch can be pressurized with a significantly larger gas quan-
tity in order to obtain faster cooling of the workpiece and weld head.
Permanent Gas
The "Permanent Gas" function continuously pressurizes the weld head with a constant flow of welding
gas to prevent oxygen from entering the weld head even during non-productive times.
With continuous purging of the welding torch, the gas pre-purge time can be significantly reduced.
As with the "Flow Force" function, this allows the process time, annealing colors, gas quantity, and weld
head temperature to be optimized.
NOTICE It is also possible to combine the "Flow Force" and "Permanent
Gas" functions.
