The whole wide worldof TIG welding torchesGENERAL REMARKSIndividualised systems for every applicationFronius offers system solutions. Long-lived and highlyPremium components – superlativeignition and welding propertiescost-effective welding systems are just as much a partof this as are individually customised planning, advice,corrective maintenance and servicing. The aim is perfectwelding results and a high level of customer satisfaction.TIG welding torches from Fronius make a majorcontribution here. They are available in both gas-cooledand water-cooled versions, as either manual or robotwelding torches. Many different lengths of hosepackare possible, as are special, customised torch-bodygeometries. For welding-tasks all the way up to 550 A. Itgoes without saying that the individual system componentsare all designed for optimum interoperability. Whateveryour welding application, with Fronius you will always finda whole world of solutions.Long service life assured by constantwater coolingClient-specific torch variants for optimumweld accessibility

HANDLINGA sophisticated toolPencil grip, and other easy-handling featuresAs an “extension of the welder’s arm”, a weldingEasy, comfortable handling is essential if you want totorch must be absolutely reliable and should lie in theachieve precision working. This is why the TIG torcheswelder’s hand just like a pencil, as well as being fittedare also available with a leather hose. It means there isout with all manner of technical refinements. If thatless resistance and that less physical effort is neededall sounds a bit like a description of a Fronius torch .to manipulate the torch. Also, the handle-shells arethat’s because it is.shaped so ergonomically that the torch can always beguided with great accuracy; it’s even possible to hold itOn-the-spot adjustmentsThe integral up/down rockers let the welder regulatethe amperage right from the welding workplace. Thislike a pencil.Changed and fixed in an instantsaves time and a lot of shuttling back-and-forward.Plug and twist – that’s the principle behind the torchOn Jobmaster-equipped TIG welding torches, you canconnector system.

The electricparameter.supply and shielding gas are tool-lessly connected upat the same time, and the coolant line is also instantlyplugged into the cooling circuit using the same sort ofquick connectors.Setting parameters on the Jobmaster, directly at the weldingworkplace, saves a lot of time and “to-ing and fro-ing”.Ergonomically shaped handle-shells for exact torch guidance andpencil-grip handling.

For example, the Fronius tungsten electrodeAfter all, it is the beginning of every single weld. Froniusmakes for dependable welding properties and longeralso obtains the required ignition properties with theendurance times.following two features of the torches: by using onlyhigh-grade components, and by ensuring electricalinsulation resistance all the way from the gas nozzle tothe central connector.And using a shielding-gas lens delivers a straight jetof gas, with no chance of turbulence. This has severaladvantages at once: Firstly, this streamlined laminargas-flow increases the quality of the weld-seambecause only minimal oxidation takes place; secondly,the lens saves gas.In water-cooled welding torches, the cooling ducts extend aroundthe underside of the gas nozzle. This gives the weld processadditional stabilisation.Using the shielding-gas lens ensures high weld-seam quality at thesame time as saving as much as 20 % of the shielding gas.

Inshort, then, wherever appearance and the very highestquality are what count.Using a shielding-gas lens brings about a laminargas-flow. This saves a huge 20 % in gas consumption.Because the water cooling ducts run all the way underthe gas nozzle, wearing parts are given constant,optimal cooling, leading to 50 % longer service life.

This makes for quick and morevariants that make for ideal weld accessibility. Like atorch with no handle-shell at all, but instead with a pedalcontrol unit for controlling the welding parameters. Thismeans that there is not even the slightest vibration, whichresults in accurate accessibility with the very maximum ofprecision. Another possibility is an adjustable torch bodywhich can be corrected into certain positions.Excellent weld accessibility, thanks to versatile torch body.With shielding-gas lensWithout shielding-gas lensGas consumptionGas savings of up to 20 % from using a shielding-gas lens.
