DEFINITION OF WELDING TERMS

NON-SYNERGIC WELDING MODES

•A Non-synergicwelding mode requires all welding process variables to be set by the operator.

SYNERGIC WELDING MODES

•A Synergic welding mode offers the simplicity of single knob control. The machine will select the cor- rect voltage and amperage based on the wire feed speed (WFS) set by the operator.
