The Fronius iWave now offers TIG cold-wire components with an intelligent control system. The TIG DynamicWire welding package is a patented innovation that enables even amateurs to achieve perfect TIG welds easily. The dynamic wire control always selects the right travel speed, adapting to the welder, not the other way around.

TIG welding is a top-tier process that demands skill and years of practice. However, with the new features and software solutions packed into the iWave cold-wire components, TIG welding is significantly easier. According to Manuel Rumpl, Head of Strategic Product Management, Industrial Welding Solutions at Fronius International GmbH, thanks to TIG DynamicWire, welders can focus all their attention on the arc. At the same time, the welding system regulates the optimal wire speed at all times.

The iWave power 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 be retrofitted to existing iWave systems at any time.

Market innovation: active wire control
The innovative advantage of Fronius DynamicWire compared to a conventional continuous wire feed lies in its active self-regulation. The welding system actively adjusts the wire speed to the welding behaviour, torch position, and current conditions, even automatically compensating for up to 30 percent component tolerances. This leads to perfect welds every time.

Precise and user-friendly
During the development of the cold-wire system, the detail was just a little small for Fronius when it came to ensuring that welders could work optimally with minimal steps and adjustments. The wire feeder is set once and then remains in a stable position. The tungsten holder is lightweight and ergonomic, made using material-saving aluminium 3D printing. Unlike comparable solutions, there are no disturbing vibrations at the torch handle, as the wire’s mechanical forward and backward motion has been entirely dispensed with in the new TIG DynamicWire cold-wire welding process.

Change the tungsten electrode at the touch of a button
Fronius also offers a new Tungsten Fast Clamp System (TFC) patent. A single touch of a button releases and clamps the tungsten electrode in the springloaded clamping sleeve. The electrode can be changed in seconds, like a mechanical pencil lead. This system can also be mounted on existing torch bodies.

Self-regulating, time-saving, and resource-conserving
In times of skills shortages, the iWave, complete with cold wire feeding and TIG DynamicWire, can help TIG novices and those with less experience achieve great welding results fast. The self-regulating parameter settings and characteristics, as well as the compensatory active wire feeder, provide the necessary safety and ensure high quality.

Furthermore, the intelligent TIG cold-wire welding reduces the wear and tear on the torch body, torch cap, and clamping sleeve, making them last longer than comparable solutions.

TIG cold-wire components are now available for Fronius iWave. The pioneering innovation lies in its intelligent control. With the patented new TIG DynamicWire welding package, even amateurs can quickly achieve perfect TIG welds. This is because the dynamic wire control always selects the right travel speed. The process adapts to the welder, not the other way around!

TIG welding represents the top tier of welding processes and demands skill and years of practice—or does it? “All the new features that we’ve packed into the iWave cold-wire components as well as the corresponding software solution, make TIG welding significantly easier,” explains Manuel Rumpl, Head of Strategic Product Management, Industrial Welding Solutions, Fronius International GmbH. “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.”
