5.3.6.2 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

the relevant superPuls variant (depending on the material) is acti-
vated 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

Back-burn set too high: large drops developing on the wire electrode result in poor igni-
tion properties or the wire electrode sticking to the welding nozzle.
Back-burn set too low: Wire electrode sticks in the molten pool
