5.2.14 coldArc XQ / coldArc puls XQ
Heat-reduced, low-spatter short arc for high dimensional stability welding and brazing of thin metal sheets
with excellent gap-bridging.

After selecting the coldArc process
> see 5.2.3 chapter
you benefit from:
• Less distortion and reduced discolouration thanks to minimised heat input
• Considerably reduced spatter thanks to virtually power-free material transfer
• Easy welding of the root passes in all plate thicknesses and in all positions
• Perfect gap bridging even with inconsistent gap widths
• Manual and automated applications
You can make use of these properties after selecting the coldArc process (see the "Selecting a MIG/MAG
welding task" chapter).
With coldArc welding, it is important to ensure good quality wire feeding because of the welding filler ma-
terials being used!
• Equip the welding torch and torch hose package to suit the task! ( and the operating instructions for
the welding torch.)
This function can only be enabled with the PC300.NET software.
(See operating instructions for the software)
5.2.15 Standard MIG/MAG torch
The MIG welding torch trigger is essentially used to start and stop the welding process.

Functions
Torch trigger
• Start/stop welding
Additional functions such as program switching (before or after welding) are possible by tapping the torch
trigger (depending on machine type and control configuration).
The following parameters must be configured accordingly in the menu Special Parame-
