en.Wedoany.com Reported - Austrian welding technology company Fronius International has introduced its Fortis and TPS/i welding systems for manual MIG/MAG welding applications, meeting the demands for flexibility and quality in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair processes.
Manual MIG/MAG welding is widely used in industrial metalworking due to its high welding speed, productivity, and broad applicability, making it the preferred process for steel, aluminum, and chrome-nickel (CrNi) materials. Philipp Schlor, Product Manager at Fronius International, noted that as production processes, maintenance, assembly, and repair tasks become increasingly complex, welders require more flexible equipment to adapt to changes, leading to a significant resurgence in the importance of manual welding. To address this, Fronius developed the Fortis and TPS/i, which feature modern process control, intuitive operation, and maximum arc stability.
The Fortis welding system delivers up to 500 amperes, supports standard and pulsed welding processes, and offers a dual-machine version, multi-process capability, and comprehensive connectivity, designed for daily welding operations. The TPS/i, developed for more complex requirements, provides special processes such as Cold Metal Transfer (CMT), Low Spatter Control (LSC), or Pulse Multi Control (PMC). These processes ensure a stable arc and minimal spatter through auxiliary systems and features, enabling welding of thin sheets or heat-sensitive joints. The TPS/i delivers up to 600 amperes, features PushPull capability, and can be used with the FlexDrive for long-distance welding. Additionally, the TPS/i is compatible with Fronius's newly introduced Velocity Assistant (Velo), which specifies and maintains welding speed and torch distance, helping to increase welding speed in long weld applications while reducing user workload.
Fronius offers over 60 torch models for manual MIG/MAG welding, along with protective equipment and extraction systems. Both the Fortis and TPS/i can work with the WeldCube data management software to achieve transparency and documentation of the welding process. WeldCube Navigator provides step-by-step workflow guidance, while WeldCube Air and WeldCube Premium offer quality assessment, traceability, and process optimization analysis. Central user management clearly regulates access permissions for welding equipment.
