6.1.1.5  superPuls 

In superPuls mode, the program toggles between the main program (PA) and the reduced main program 

(PB). This function is e.g. used for thin sheet welding to reduce the heat input in a controlled manner or 

for positional welding without the need for weaving. 
The combination of superPuls and other EWM welding processes offers a multitude of possibilities. For 

example, to enable the welding of vertical-up welds without the "Christmas tree" technique, when selec-

ting program 1

 > see 5.6.5 chapter

 the relevant superPuls variant (depending on the material) is activated 

as well. The required superPuls parameters are defined ex works. 
The welding power can be represented as average value (ex works) or solely as program A value. If the 

average value display is activated the signal lights of the main (PA) and reduced main program (PB) are 

illuminated simultaneously. The display variants can be toggled using special parameter 

P19,

 > see 5.4.4.4 chapter

 

6.1.2  Operating modes 

There are optimum pre-sets for welding parameters such as gas pre-flow and burn back, etc. for 

numerous applications (although these can also be changed if required).
