Wise processes: using WiseThin+
The WiseThin+ welding process improves the quality of sheet metal welds.
WiseThin+ is a synergic MIG/MAG process whose short-arc features are optimal for welding sheet metals (plate thickness 0.8 - 3.0 mm). It is based on precise measurement of voltage between the welding gun nozzle and the workpiece. The measurement data serves as input for the voltage control. The process reduces heat input, deformation and spatter. WiseThin+ is also optimal for position welding with thicker plates.
To adjust welding power / wire feed speed, in the Control Pad's Welding view, turn the left knob.
To fine tune the voltage while welding, in the Control Pad's Welding view, turn the right knob.

When using WiseThin+, depending on the welding program, you can adjust the following welding parameters through Settings > Parameters:
| • | Wire feed speed |
>> min: adjusts the minimum set value for wire feed speed
>> max: adjusts the maximum set value for wire feed speed
| • | Fine tuning: adjusts the voltage (arc length). |
| • | Dynamics: -10...+10. Adjusts the short circuit behavior. On the minus side, the arc is softer (less spatter). On the plus side, the arc is harder (the arc is more stable). |
| • | StartPower: -30...+30. Adjusts the power level for arc ignition. |
| • | StartLevel: -30...+30. Finetunes the arc length for arc ignition. |
| • | StopPower: -30...+30. Adjusts the power level for arc stop. |
