5.2.4.3 Welding type
Different forms of MIG/MAG processes are referred to as welding type.
Standard (Welding with standard arc)
Depending on the set combination of wire feed speed and arc voltage, the arc types short arc, transitional
arc or spray arc can be used for welding.
Pulse (Welding with pulsed arc)
A targeted change in the welding current generates current pulses in the arc, which lead to a 1 drop per
pulse of material transfer. The result is an almost spatter-free process, suitable for welding of all materi-
als, in particular high-alloy CrNi steels or aluminium.
Positionweld (Positional welding)
A combination of the pulse/standard or pulse/pulse welding types, which is particularly suitable for positio-
nal welding due to factory-optimized parameters.
The range of functions depends on the machine series:
