Compact TPS/i series welding systems

F ronius has expanded its tried and tested TPS/i series to include the TPS 270i C Pulse and TPS 320i C Pulse power sources with an integrated wire feeder. The new entrants, designed for welding currents of up to 270 A and 320 A respectively, combine the advanced features of the TPS/i platform in an extremely compact housing, and are equally suited to MIG/MAG, dc-TIG and MMA welding. These power sources can be used anywhere, and with their space-saving construction, are the ideal solution for mobile applications in workshops and on construction sites. Despite their compact design, the TPS 270i C Pulse and TPS 320i C Pulse leave nothing to be desired in terms of performance and flexibility. In addition to the pulse-welding package included in the scope of delivery, the proven standard welding package fromFronius is available as an option, aswell as packages for LSC (lowspatter control) and PMC (pulsemulti Fronius has introduced a new portable TPS/i power source range for useon construction sites and for mobile workshop applications.

Numerouspre-preparedcharacteristicsanduse- ful functions simplify the welding process, such as SynchroPulse for achieving a wave pattern in the weld seam similar to that of TIG welding. Carefully considered details, including colour-coded wire feeder rollers corresponding to the wire diameter, a viewing window to quickly check how

Furthermore, numerous equipment options and a wide range of accessories, such as gas- or water-cooling, a remote control or a handy PullMigwelding torch enable themachines to be adapted quickly and easily to the specific circumstances and to a range of applications. As the fully digitised power sources can access the Internet, it is very easy to upgrade and update the software on site. The new devices are available for all standard mains voltages and mains frequencies, meaning they can be used worldwide. The TPS 270i C Pulse and TPS 320i C Pulse enable welders to achieve outstanding results with high repeatability and boastmaximumproductivity inanygiven location, evenunder extreme conditions.
