Tacking Function - Fronius TransTig 2200 Operating Instructions Manual

Tacking function

Depending on what tAC time has been set, the pulsed welding current may continue up
(continued)
to, and including, the final current phase I
After the tAC time has elapsed, welding continues at constant welding amperage, and
any pulsing parameters that may have been set continue to be available.
Important! In order to set a defined tacking time, the parameter tAC can be combined
with the parameter SPt (spot-welding time, Set-up menu: Level 1).
TIG cold-wire Important! TIG cold-wire welding is only possible in conjunction with a cold-wire feeder.

The diagram below illustrates TIG cold-wire welding in cases where a pulsing frequency
has been set and the DC welding process has been selected.
For details of how to adjust the parameters referred to here, see: "The set-up menu:
Level 1" - sub-section "TIG set-up parameters".
