Overview

 

  • Digital welding process control
    For one-off precision in the welding process, exact reproducibility and outstanding weld properties

  • Earth fault monitor
    Prevents the welding current from flowing over the earth wire, which would destroy the PE conductor system

  • Energy-saving inverter technology
    For higher degrees of efficiency, lower weight and smaller dimensions

  • Remote control facility
    Enables user to intervene in the welding process directly on-site and change parameters

  • Synergic operation
    For optimum welding parameters. Simply select material and sheet thickness and the stored know-how controls the welding process automatically

  • Touchdown ignition
    For ignition with no high-voltage pulses in sensitive applications

Technology

 

·  Digital Revolution
To see the benefits of the digital revolution in welding technology, let’s try listening first: to some music. Why? Simple: Not so very long ago, the good old vinyl record was the most important medium. The only problem was that it soon reached its limits in terms of quality. The more frequently it was played, the more the sound quality deteriorated. With digital technology, music remains music no matter how often a song is played. The quality remains the same. The same applies to Fronius digital welding technology: 100 % reproducible welding results. Again and again. As often as you want. The basis for this is the highest possible precision in the welding process. And it’s completely digitally controlled.
