1.2 Using the Controller
The controller can be said to consist of two units; the working memory and the
weld data memory.
WELD DATA
MEMORY
WORKING
MEMORY
DOWN LOAD
SAVED
The working memory is used to store a complete set of welding parameters, which
can then be saved in the weld data memory.
The welding process is always controlled by the contents of the working memory.
This also makes it possible to download a set of welding parameters from the weld
data memory to the working memory.
Note that the working memory always contains the last set of welding parameters
that were used, in other words the working memory is never empty or ”initialized”.

2 MIG Welding
2.1 The Expression ”Wire”
With MIG welding, the electrode is wound on a reel (or drum). In this manual, an
electrode of this type is referred to as wire.
2.2 Synergic Welding
Each combination of wire type, wire diameter and gas mix requires a unique
relationship between wire feed speed and voltage (arc length) to attain a stable arc.
ARISTO 2000 has a number of pre--programmed “ synergic lines”.
When you choose a pre--programmed synergic line corresponding to your wire type,
wire diameter and gas mix, you need only set a wire feed speed appropriate for your
welding piece. The voltage is adjusted automatically in accordance with your choice
of pre--programmed synergic line, making it much easier to quickly find correct
welding parameters.
The synergic function for welding current may be used with MIG welding. The user
sets the values for:
S method
S wire type
S shielding gas
S wire dimension
Based on these basic settings and the value specified for wire feed speed, a
microprocessor works out suitable values for the various welding technical
parameters. These parameter types are dependent on the chosen welding m ethod
(dip/spray or pulse). For more information, see ”Weld data settings” under
section 2.4.
It is possible to weld with wire and shielding gas combinations other than those
available on the controller. However, the user will have to set values for one or more
parameters.
2.3 Basic Settings
Basic settings are made from the controller’s main menu.
1. Welding process = MIG
2. Welding method
For MIG welding, you can choose between two welding methods.
S Dip/Spray
S Pulse
3. Wire type, shielding gas, wire dimension
The following tables show the possible wire type, shielding gas and wire
dimension combinations that can be used with the synergic function for welding
current.

2.4 Weld Data Settings
The following is a summary of the welding parameters that affect the welding
process when using MIG welding methods.
With the power source in synergic m ode it is only necessary to set the wire feed
speed.
The voltag e parameter may also be adjusted if required.
When the wire feed speed is adjusted, the synergic control system automatically
adjusts certain other parameters to compensate. T he parameters in italics remain
constant and are unaffected by changes in the wire feed speed.
Method DIP/SPRAY Method PULSE
S Wire feed speed S Wire feed speed
S Voltage S Voltage
S Inductance S Pulse current
S Control type S Pulse time
S Pulse frequency
S Background current
S Ka
S Ki
A table of parameter setting ranges is given in the APPENDIX under section 10.
2.5 Start and stop data
The following settings affect the start and stop cycles for MIG welding.
Under the respective headings, are all settings that affect the start cycle and welding
stop.
Start settings Stop settings
S Gas pre--flow S Gas post--flow
S Creep start
S Hot start
S Hot start time
S Increase wire feed speed
(2 m/min unless otherwise
stated)
S Increase voltage (only
when not
in synergetic
mode)
S Burnback time
S Pinch --off pulse (only for DIP/SPRAY
when not in synergic mode)
S Crater fill
S Crater fill time
S Final wire feed speed
S Final voltage (only when not in
synergic mode)
There are three different functions that are designed to meet special requirements at
the start and end of the welding. These functions and auxilia ry settings are made in
the start data menu and stop data menu.
-- 1 5 --
bu12d04a
Hot Start
The hot start function is selected when a hotter arc is necessary at weld start, so that
welding defects are avoided at the beginning of a weld.
Crater Fill
The crater fill function makes it easier to avoid porosity and crater cracking in the
weld metal when you stop welding.
Creep Start
The creep start function gives a lower wire feed speed and can be used to maintain
the best possible start. The creep start speed is 50% of the set wire feed speed. The
function is activated as the default setting.
TIP! The hot start, creep start and crater fill functions can be switched on or off using
the ”soft buttons,“ see the section on ”MIG” configuration under section 9.2.4.2.
The start data and stop data m enus are used to set the values for the following
parameters.
Gas Pre-- and Post--Flow
The parameters gas pre--flow and gas post--flow specify the length of time that the
gas continues to flow before and after welding.
Burnback Time
Burnback time is used to adjust the length of the electrode after welding.
2.6 Gas Purge, Cold Wire Feed and 2--Stroke/4--Stroke
The following three functions can be controlled with soft button (as can functions
such as hot start). For a description of how this is done, see “MIG configuration”
under section 9.2.4.2.
Gas purge
The gas purge function is used to fill the gas hoses with shielding gas, o r for
measurement of gas flow. When the button is pressed, gas purging starts; when it is
released, gas purging stops.
Cold Wire Feed
This function is used to feed wire out manually when threading a new spool of wire.
When the button is pressed, the wire is fed forward; when the button is released,
wire feed stops.
2--Stroke or 4--Stroke
During MIG welding the torch button can function in two ways/ 2--stroke or 4--stroke.
The switching function for 2--stroke/4--stroke can be set on one of the soft buttons.
The difference between 2--stroke and 4--stroke is illustrated in the following figures,
along with other functions of the start and stop cycles.

Start
Using 2--stroke, any gas pre--flow starts when the torch trigger is pressed in (1).
Welding data then rises to the set values or any pre--set Hot start values. When the
torch trigger is released (2), any crater fill is started. After this the values for welding
data return to zero and any gas post--flow completes the welding sequence.
TIP! If the torch trigger is pressed in again during cra ter fill, you can extend the
welding by the crater fill’s final data at any time (the dashed line). The crater fill can
also be interrupted when the torch trigger is quickly pressed in and then released
during the crater fill.

During 4--stroke, gas pre--flow starts when the torch trigger is pressed in (1). When
the torch trigger is released (2), welding data goes up to the pre--set values. When
the torch trigger is pressed in again (3) any crater filling is started. After this the
values for welding data go down to stop data.
Any gas post--flow starts when the torch trigger is released (4).
TIP! The crater fill stops when the torch trigger is released (4). If the contact is
instead pressed in for a longer time, welding continues with the crater fill’s final data
(the dashed line).
