MAX Speed process
MAX Speed is a synergic pulsed MIG/MAG welding process. It is designed to maximize the welding speed and to minimize the heat input by modifying the conventional MIG/MAG arcs. MAX Speed is designed for steel and stainless steel welding applications mainly in the PA and PB positions. It is suitable for plate thicknesses above 2.5 mm, the ideal maximum plate thickness being approximately 10 mm.
MAX Speed operates within the spray arc range. Welding current is pulsed with constant frequency and amplitude. Arc length is controlled with the normal voltage control. MAX Speed’s low-amplitude pulsing enables an effective transfer mode with lower wire feed speed than with conventional MIG/MAG arc.
>> To take MAX Speed into use, go to AX Manager's Welding parameters view and apply MAX Speed. Optionally, go to the Memory channels view and create a new memory channel with MAX Speed process.
>> Adjust the wire feed speed in the Home view. The adjustment's effect on the plate thickness is also shown.
>> Fine-tune the welding voltage in the Home view.
MAX Speed supports these filler wire and shielding gas combinations:
| • | Fe solid & Ar + 18% CO2 (1.0 mm, 1.2 mm) |
| • | Fe solid & Ar + 8% CO2 (1.0 mm, 1.2 mm) |
| • | Fe MC & Ar + 18% CO2 (1.2 mm) |
| • | Ss solid & Ar + 2% CO2 (1.0 mm, 1.2 mm). |
