Selecting welding program

A welding program combines the optimal welding settings for a given welding job. Welding programs are saved in the memory of the power source. Welding programs and memory channels are managed through Control Pad. For more information on saving welding programs, see Saving new welding programs.

The welding programs in X8 MIG Welder suit the most common wire types, wire diameters, shielding gases and different base materials. Programs can be purchased at Kemppi DataStore. Kemppi also offers Synergic Customized Welding programs which are designed and created according to customer-specific welding applications. For more information, contact your local Kemppi dealer.

Selecting a welding program through Channel view

The easiest way to select a welding program is to browse through the memory channels in the Channel view and select the memory channel that has the appropriate program saved in it. For more information, see Using memory channels.

Selecting a welding program through Settings view

You can find the optimal welding program for the job at hand by using the search filters.

First, select the welding mode (MIG/MMA/GOUGING) in Settings > Mode.

If you select the MIG mode, you can see a list of filters (for example, Material and Wire material) under the title Welding program.

Select appropriate filters to narrow down the list of welding programs. You will see the programs matching your filter selection as the last item on the list. It is possible that there is just one program matching your filter selection.

The MMA and GOUGING modes just have one pre-installed welding program each.
