Has to be called a twitcherI don't know the proper name but there is a remote control switch you can get that would do the job, birdwatchers use them on the cameras.
I like the infinite variability of wirefeed, the slightest tweak can sometimes make all the difference but I will do some experimenting with setting up a range of programmes . It may be possible seeing as it seems you can have 15 in each job, or at least I think I read that last night.You’ve got 15 programs. Surely you can come up with a range of saved settngs that covers the job you want to do and flick between them? Surely you can’t need more than half a dozen wire/volt combinations on the average job?
Or open up the API so those who would like to play / help their friends with nice new welders can doThe pc software would be nice,
If anybody from ewm is reading this maybe they could think about offering a (much) lower cost version for low volume users, maybe it could be locked to the serial number of a single machine for a decent price..
You don't need to mess with the pot for that, you have Hot start and for the end you have crater fill. The times, currents etc can be set up in the job or if, like I prefer, you use special latched 4t you can control the hot start and crater fill duration from the torch trigger.From the little aluminium MIG that I have been involved with, I imagine it would be really handy having a torch mounted pot for adjusting increments. Dial it up to start with when everything is cold, and down once there's a bit of heat in the workpiece. Same as for TIG alloy.
I can imagine with the sort of stuff you're welding together, that the surrounding mass varies wildly from joint to joint, and it'll have a huge effect on how hot you're running it.
15 pre-sets in each job mode sounds pretty handy though! Surely that will be enough for you
