Pulse-On-Pulse®

•Uses a sequence of varying pulse wave shapes to produce a TIG-like bead appearance and excellent weld properties when MIG welding aluminum.

•Pulse-On-Pulse®controls arc length and heat input together, making it easier to achieve good penetration.

Power Mode®

•Uses high-speed regulation of output power to deliver extremely fast response to changes in the arc, for example, when using a whip technique.

•Improved MIG welding performance, including low spatter, very uniform, consistent bead wetting and controlled penetration.

•Great for low voltage applications on thin steel and stainless steel material less than 20 gauge (0.7 mm).

•Delivers excellent arc characteristics on aluminum and other alloys such as silicon bronze and nickel alloys.
