Fronius is upgrading its TransSteel series with the addition of the pulse function. Not only does the pulsed arc allow faster welding speeds on thicker materials, but rework is reduced as the pulsed arc causes less welding spatter.
The pulse mode makes it possible to bypass the intermediate arc, which is difficult to control and prone to spatter. The resulting reduction in spattering leads to up to 70 percent less rework. Furthermore, the pulsed arc allows welding speeds that are up to 30 percent higher to be achieved. All these advantages are now also available from the Fronius TransSteel 3000 compact as well as the TransSteel 4000 and 5000.
The TransSteel devices were developed especially for use on steel. The addition of the pulse function now makes these power sources true all-rounders, as a wide range of functions supports the welder in various applications. With the help of the spot function, even and consistent welding spots can be produced – ideal for tacking workpieces. Interval welding not only produces a rippled seam appearance, but the lower heat input also reduces the possibility of material distortion on light gage sheets.
