Function explanations for settings
4.2.1
Current
A higher current produces a wider weld pool, with better penetration into the
workpiece.
Current is set in either the
measure image, the weld data setting menu,
or the
fast
mode menu
.
4.2.2
Arc force
The arc force controls how the current changes when the arc length changes. A
lower value gives a calmer arc with less spatter.
4.2.3
Min. current factor
The min. current factor setting is used in conjunction with certain specific electrodes.
Note
! This setting should not be changed.
4.2.4
Synergy
Synergy for MMA welding means that the welding power source automatically
optimises the properties of the electrode type and diameter selected.
4.2.5
Limits
In limits you can choose a limit number. For settings, see chapter

limits”.

TIG WELDING
Main menu -- --> Process
TIG welding melts the metal of the workpiece, using an arc struck from a tungsten
electrode, which does not itself melt. The weld pool and the electrode are protected
by shielding gas.
Pulsing is used for improved control of the weld pool and the solidification process. The
pulse frequency is set so slow that the weld pool has time to solidify at least partially be-
tween each pulse. In order to set pulsing, four parameters are required: pulse time,
background time, pulse current and background current.
