Machine Concept - Fronius TransTig 2200 Operating Instructions Manual

Machine concept

Among the typical features of the new power sources are their great flexibility and
extremely easy adaptability to many varied tasks. The reasons for these welcome
characteristics may be found not only in the modular product design, but also in the
scope that the system gives for troublefree system extensions.
You can adapt your power source to practically any specific situation. For instance, the
TransTig 2200 and MagicWave 1700 / 2200 can be used with the JobMaster TIG, a new
welding torch with integral remote-control functionality. This means that the parameters
that are relevant during welding can be adjusted, retrieved and monitored directly from
the torch. In addition, there is an extensive selection of remote-control units with digital
controls and displays, for a huge spectrum of applications.
Areas of In the workshop and industrial fields there are innumerable areas of application for the
utilisation MagicWave 1700 / 2200 and the TransTig 2200. For manual welding, but also for
automated and robot-welding tasks, these are the ideal power sources. As regards their
suitability for welding different materials, they are just as much "at home" welding
unalloyed and low-alloy steel as they are welding high-alloy chrome-nickel steels.
These "all-rounder" qualities are enhanced by the machines' optimised ignition
sequence. For TIG-AC welding, the MagicWave 1700 / 2200 takes account not only of
the diameter of the electrode, but also of its temperature, computed with reference to
the preceding welding and weld-off times. What is more, on the MagicWave 1700 / 2200
the RPI Reverse Polarity Ignition ensures outstandingly good ignition behaviour in TIG-
DC welding.
Moreover, the MagicWave 1700 / 2200 does sterling service when it comes to welding
aluminium, aluminium alloys and magnesium. The AC frequency can be adjusted over a
very wide range, permitting optimum adaptation to your particular requirements.
All the MagicWave 1700 / 2200 and TransTig 2200 machines are generator-compatible
and are exceptionally sturdy in day-to-day operation, thanks to the protected location of
their controls, and to their powder-coated housings. The wealth of different available
operating modes and special functions makes these power sources just as good at rod-
electrode welding as they are at TIG welding. Both the MagicWave 1700 / 2200 and the
TransTig 2200 have a TIG pulsed-arc function, offering an exceptionally wide frequency
range. Here too, maximum flexibility is the overriding priority.
