COLD-WIRE TIG WELDING WITH FRONIUS TIG DYNAMICWIRE – SMART, SIMPLE, INNOVATIVE

The patented new TIG DynamicWire uses an innovative cold wire TIG welding system that enables the process to adapt to the welder. This means that welders can achieve perfect welds every time, even those without extensive training and experience.

With its automatic self-regulation feature, the TIG DynamicWire system actively adjusts the wire speed to the welding behaviour, torch position and current conditions—even automatically compensating for component tolerances of up to 30%. The automated self-regulation feature also distinguishes it from a traditional continuous wire feed. The welding system actively modifies the wire speed in accordance with the welding behaviour, torch location, and welding current settings.

When creating the cold-wire system Fronius considered all the details to deliver a product that welders could operate as efficiently as possible with the fewest number of steps and changes.

This is a game changer as it supports all TIG operators from novice beginners to the more experienced and those more highly skilled in achieving excellent welding results quickly and easily.

Not to mention it’s safer. Self-regulating parameter settings and characteristics, a compensating active wirefeeder, and other features provide the required degree of safety and excellent quality. Even worn elements like the torch body, torch cap, and clamping sleeve experience less abrasion and last longer than equivalent solutions because the wire does not constantly travel back and forth during intelligent TIG cold-wire welding.

“Thanks to TIG DynamicWire, welders can focus all their attention on the arc and the welding system regulates the optimal wire speed at all times,” said Manuel Rumpl (Head of Strategic Product Management Industrial Welding Solutions, Fronius International GmbH).

The new Fronius cold-wire components for iWave are lightweight and ergonomic, providing more flexibility for TIG welding which makes it easier for welders, even those with minimal training are able to operate the machine and produce seamless, high-quality TIG welds.

Furthermore, there are no annoying vibrations at the torch handle, thanks to the innovative TIG DynamicWire cold-wire welding technology which completely eliminates the wire’s mechanical forward and backward motion.

Additionally, with its TIG SynergicMode, only one parameter needs to be set to start welding and the rest is applied automatically based on materialspecific characteristics.

The Tungsten Fast Clamp system (TFC) is another innovation from welding specialist Fronius. The tungsten electrode is released and clamped in the spring-loaded clamping sleeve with a single press of the button. The electrode may be switched out in a matter of seconds, much like a mechanical pencil’s lead. This system can now also be mounted to current torch bodies.

The iWave power source categories from 300i to 500i can be upgraded to the TIG cold-wire system. The TIG DynamicWire welding package is ready for use immediately through software activation and can also b e retrofitted to existing iWave (300i to 500i systems) at any time.

The product will be available at the beginning of 2023.

There are two fusion welding courses that adhere to ISO 9606 Qualification test of welders on Training.gov.au. This is the authoritative source of nationally recognised training and Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). These two courses were developed in Victoria in 2018 and use augmented reality welding simulators as a key component of the training.

Transition Workers

To be awarded a certificate for the Course in Fusion Welding to AS/NZS ISO 9606 for Transition Workers, you must successfully complete seven units of competency (four core and three elective). Core units:

• Simulate fusion welding processes using augmented reality equipment

• Identify welding processes, safe welding practices and use of hand and power tools

• Interpret and apply AS/NZS ISO 9606 for fusion welding processes

• Perform fusion welding procedures to meet the procedures of ISO 96061 (Steels – carbon steels)

Experienced Welders

To be awarded a Statement of Attainment for the Course in Fusion Welding to AS/NZS ISO 9606 for Experienced Welders, you must successfully complete three units of competency (one core and two elective). The core unit is: Interpret and apply AS/NZS ISO 9606 for fusion welding processes.
