Double-wire welding: Welding of two wire electrodes with the same welding potential
Tandem welding (Fronius: TimeTwin Digital): Welding of two wire electrodes with sep-
arate welding potential
Thanks to the frontpull drive, there is no slip in the hosepack. This results in a stable
arc
Few wearing parts - low maintenance costs
The system is completely free from inner liners up to the torch neck
Simple design - smaller robot size needed
Easy to adjust the power source characteristic to the base and filler metal as well as
to the shielding gas
Small weld pool due to short arc - which results in a high welding speed
Mixed operation is possible (e.g.: pulsed arc/standard arc)
Easy operation as it shares the same menu navigation as the TPS 4000/5000
Two wire electrodes are welded in a weld pool under a shielding gas environment.
The wire is fed via a shared frontpull drive.
The frontpull drive is controlled via a control unit.
Both wire electrodes are brought together in the welding torch in such a way that two
independent welding potentials are available.
The Drive EasyTwin process only works when used with filler metal from drums.
