MAX Speed process
X5 WF AP/APC
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 6 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. The pulsing is not noticeable to the welder.
>> To take MAX Speed into use, go to the control panel'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.
>> To adjust the wire feed speed while welding, or in the control panel's Home view, turn the left control knob. The adjustment's effect on the plate thickness is also shown.
>> To fine-tune the welding voltage while welding, or in the control panel's Home view, turn the right control knob.
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). |
