B-6 OPERA TION B-6 GTAW (TIG) WELDING The welding current can be set through a PF10M or PF25M wire feeder. The TIG mode features continuous control from 5 to 350 amps with the use of an optional foot amptrol (K870). The POWER WAVE® R350 can be run in either a Touch Start TIG mode or Scratch start TIG mode. CONSTANT VOLTAGE WELDING Synergic CV For [...]

B-7 OPERA TION B-7 Most pulse welding programs are synergic. As the wire feed speed is adjusted, the POWER WAVE® R350 will automatically recalculate the waveform parameters to maintain similar arc properties. The POWER WAVE® R350 utilizes “adaptive control” to compensate for changes in the electrical stick-out while welding. (Electrical stick[...]
