GENERAL REMARKS
/ The plasma process is basically very similar to the TIG
process but has a number of critical advantages. These
make it an interesting alternative to laser welding where
tough quality demands have to be met, especially on sheets
and other components with a sheet thickness of up to
8 mm (0.31 in.).
/ In plasma welding, the arc is constricted by a cooled gas
nozzle. The powerfully bunched arc that results does away
with the need for time-consuming weld preparation work
such as V- or U-type joint preparation. This saves as much
as 30 % of the filler metal. In turn, the higher welding
speed – around 20 % faster in soft-plasma welding, for
example – saves time and costs at the same time as ensur-
FACTS:
/ One retrofittable attachment for two complete
welding systems
/ Powerfully bunched, highly concentrated plasma
arc
/ Deeper penetration, yet only minimal weldment
distortion
/ Higher welding speeds (up to 20 % faster)
/ No weld-seam preparation, up to 30 % less filler
metal needed
/ Completely spatter and pore-free
ing deeper penetration. Also, being enveloped in plasma
gas, the tungsten electrode has a much longer service life.
/ The PlasmaModule 10 is your passport to the world of
digital plasma welding. This attachment for digital gas
regulation and control of the pilot arc works on a modular
basis with any digital Fronius TIG power source, and is the
key to obtaining very high welding speeds, spatter-free
welding and minimal weldment distortion. A whole extra,
modularly designed welding system, then. With all that
this entails: from the cooling unit right the way through
to data management. For manual, mechanized or automated utilizations. Just as you wish.
