Welding parameters, settings and feature descriptions
MIG settings
The parameters listed here are available for adjustment with the MIG process.
Parameter
Parameter value
Description
Pre gas
Min/Max = 0 ... 9.9 s, step 0.1 s
0 = OFF
Default = auto
Welding function that starts the shielding
gas flow before the arc ignites. This
ensures that the metal does not come
into contact with air at the start of the
weld. Time value is preset by the user.
Used for all metals, but especially for
stainless steel, aluminum and titanium.
Post gas
Min/Max = 0 ... 9.9 s, step 0.1 s
0 = OFF
Default = auto
Welding function that continues the
shielding gas flow after the arc has extin-
guished. This ensures that the hot weld
does not come into contact with air after
the arc is extinguished, protecting the
weld and also the electrode. Used for all
metals. Especially stainless steel and
titanium require longer post gas times.
Creep start level
Min/Max = 10 ... 90 %, step 1 %
Default = auto
The Creep start function defines the wire
feed speed before the welding arc
ignites, that is, before the filler wire
comes in contact with the workpiece.
When the arc ignites, the wire feed speed
is automatically switched to the normal
user-set speed. The Creep start function
is always on.
Touch Sense Ignition
ON/OFF
Default = OFF
Touch Sense Ignition delivers minimum
spatter and stabilizes the arc immediately
after ignition.
Crater fill
ON/OFF
Default = OFF
When welding with high power, a crater
is usually formed at the end of the weld.
The Crater fill function decreases the
welding power / wire feed speed at the
end of the welding job so that the crater
can be filled using a lower power level.
The Crater fill level, voltage and time
(only in 2T trigger mode) are preset by
the user.
- Crater fill time
Min/Max = 0.1 ... 5 s, step 0.1 s
Default = 1.0 s
- Crater fill wire feed speed
Min/Max = 0.5 ... 25 m/min
Step: 0.05 (if wire feed speed < 5 m/min),
0.1 (if wire feed speed >= 5 m/min)
Default: 5 m/min
- Crater fill voltage
Min/Max = 8 ... 60 V, step 0.1 V
Default = 18 V
