Miller INTELLIMATIC PROCESS SELECTOR is a versatile welding system that provides the ability to quickly and easily switch between different welding processes. With this device, you can perform Air Carbon Arc (ACA) Cutting and Gouging, Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), and scratch-start Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) using different polarities.

The Process Selector Control features four voltage presets for ACA Cutting and Gouging and four amperage presets for SMAW, ACA Cutting and Gouging, and scratch-start GTAW. This allows you to quickly and easily select the optimal settings for your specific application, saving time and effort.

The
ARC
CONTROL
potentiometer
provides
variable
selection
of
short-circuit

to
suit
individual
welding
conditions.
Rotating
this
control
clockwise
causes
the
current
to
increase
as

approached.
When
this
control
is
set
at
any
value
above
MIN.,
the
current
begins
to
increase
when

drops

When

the

This
provides
