When dependable manual arc welding is required, the Fronius Ignis 150/180 series excels. These welders are compact and durable, with modern technology and user-friendly functions for high-quality welds.

Fronius produces excellent welds in even the most adverse conditions, whether indoors or outdoors or in the narrowest of places, using high-quality welding equipment that is both strong and easy to use. The new Fronius Ignis 150/180 series was built to suit these needs. The sturdy casing on the outside protects against external variables such as dust and moisture. At the same time, the cutting-edge technology on the inside provides various simple functions to aid in the welding process.

Each welding activity, whether assembly, maintenance, or repair, has unique needs. The weld must be accurate and able to withstand stress or weather conditions. This is true even when there is no reliable power grid available. This is no problem for the tiny Ignis, available in 150 A and 180 A power ratings. TIG variations are available for those seeking a mobile TIG welding solution for both types. The Ignis 180 also comes in country-specific models that can be used in areas with varying mains voltages.

Stable arc for any power grid
The first condition for quality welding is a consistent arc. The Ignis 150/180 achieves this accurately, even in voltage fluctuations, generator-powered operation, or grid links up to 100 metres long. The built-in power factor correction technology optimises the utilisation of the existing main voltage, enhancing the power factor. This makes the Ignis incredibly energy efficient and expands the welders’ operating range, giving them more or less free reign to create beautiful welds. The Ignis is thus the ideal partner, whether on construction sites, for repair and maintenance work in industry and agriculture, or in your home workshop.

Powerhouse with a wide range of functions
Although the Ignis 150 (6.5 kg) and Ignis 180 (8.8 kg) are lightweight and easy to use, they incorporate sophisticated technology and functions to make routine welding easier. First and foremost, both systems have an easy-to-use menu that can be accessed using a rotary or push button, allowing users to select their preferred parameters, and the 7-segment display displays the settings.

The Ignis also includes SoftStart, HotStart, and TrackingArc functions to aid welders when they begin welding. SoftStart was developed specifically for basic electrodes that require a low welding current. HotStart, on the other hand, boosts the current for a fraction of a second at the start to help the electrode ignite more easily, which is especially advantageous for rutile and cellulose electrodes. TrackingArc, like a torch, aids in determining the precise beginning point, such as when re-igniting following an interruption or electrode change. This is especially handy for non-automatic darkening welding helmets. This eliminates welding faults like end-craters or notches from forming in the first place, saving time on reworking.

Pulse function delivers perfection at speed
The MMA Pulse function is well-suited to producing visually appealing, high-quality welds. This function allows for high-quality welding at a rapid rate and is an ideal solution for difficult welding operations in small places. TIG pulse is also available for the TIG version of the Ignis 180. The pulsed TIG arc is particularly useful for welding thin materials because it introduces less heat into the base material. When pulsing, the welding specialist has complete control over the weld pool and can thus achieve the desired seam appearance with high precision.
