Accu-Pulse
®
STANDARD on all Axcess
®
E models
The Accu-Pulse process allows for precise
control of the pulse arc. Accu-Pulse provides
optimum molten puddle control and has power
to increase wire feed speeds and deposition
20 to 25 percent in many applications.
In most cases, slightly different ratios of gas
mixtures will perform well using a similar
program and adjusting arc length or the
appropriate arc control for the selected process.
Contact Miller for more information on less
common materials and gas combinations.
Benefits
(Compared to conventional pulse)
Shorter arc lengths possible
Better puddle control
More tolerant of contact tip to work variation
Less audible noise
No arc wandering in tight corners
Narrow arc plasma column
Allows weld to fill in at toes increasing travel
speed and deposition
More tolerant of poor fit up and gaps
(compared to standard pulse)
Ideal for robot seam tracking applications

Accu-Curve
™
STANDARD on all Axcess
®
E models
Accu-Curve is a variation of the Accu-Pulse process. The transitions from peaks to background
voltage are “curved”. The curved transitions provide a “softer” feel without sacrificing the tight arc
lengths that allow for better puddle control and have become the hallmark of the Accu-Pulse process.
Benefits
“Softer” arc feel than Accu-Pulse
Maintains tight arc lengths
Maintains better puddle control
RMD
®
(Regulated Metal Deposition)
STANDARD on all Axcess
®
E models
The RMD process is a precisely controlled
short-circuit transfer. It is a method of detecting
when the short is going to clear and then rapidly
reacting to this data changing the current levels.
Features proactive dynamic puddle control.
Benefits
Well suited to thin materials
Can replace TIG process in some applications
Gap filling
Spatter reduction
Provides less heat into work piece
Excellent performance on stainless steel
Can be combined with other Axcess

Note: To achieve optimum performance, 4/0 welding power secondary cable is recommended and the supplied work-sense lead must be connected as close to arc as possible.
Multi-MIG
®
Process Capability (Through software-based programs.)
Access the ideal welding process for any weld joint at hand. Whether you
need high travel speed combined with high deposition rates or require
gaps to be filled, any combination of the available welding processes can
accessed either at the start of a welding sequence or anywhere in the weld
while actually welding by using trigger or remote program select.
For a given wire-feed speed, the chart below shows from left (hottest) to
right (coolest) all the possible arc mode transfer ranges of accessible MIG
and pulse processes. This shows compatible shielding gas combinations
such as 90 Ar/10 CO
2
(90 percent argon and 10 percent carbon dioxide)
on steel using the same wire-feed speed and also gives an indication of
puddle control characteristics based on arc type selected.
