The Ignis 250 expands the compact Ignis 150/180 series with a powerful device that can also be used in regions with different mains voltages, thanks to the XT variant.
completed optimally using familiar Ignis functions such as HotStart, SoftStart, anti-stick, MMA Pulse, and TrackingArc. The new Ignis 250 guarantees a stable arc and high- quality results, whether high up, far below, or in hard-to-reach places. The Fronius Ignis is also avail- able in country-specific variants. The extended version (XT) can be used worldwide due to its wider input volt- age range and single-phase operation, and it can be operated with generators without issues. The Ignis XT variant is the right choice if there are challenges with input power. The new machine also features a user- friendly control panel that provides an optimal overview. Weld repairs often have to be carried out quickly. Simple machine settings and parameter reading make handling this easier. Thanks to the new user-friendly control panel on the Ignis 250, welders can clearly see everything and change settings intuitively. The favourites button brings the critical welding param- eters to the first menu level for quick and convenient access. In addition, up to five EasyJobs with current welding-relevant settings can be saved. The welding current display on the new interface also enables precise control throughout the welding process. The Fronius Ignis 250 not only impresses
that enables manual arc welding at up to 250 A, anytime, anywhere. In addition to the familiar functions of the more compact models, the Ignis 250 boasts higher per- formance, greater ease of operation, and an extended XT version for worldwide use. Each welding task has its own specific requirements, but the weld must always be perfect, and, depending on the ap- plication, also look good. Welders face challenges from varied environmental conditions, hard-to-reach areas, and power grid voltage fluctuations, especially dur- ing maintenance and servicing tasks or assembly work. The Ignis series helps master welding tasks under adverse conditions by main- taining a stable arc. With the Ignis 250, this is now also possible for larger welding tasks that require more power, without compro- mising functionality or user-friendliness. “When it comes to MMA welding, weld- ers are confronted with an increasingly diverse range of tasks and materials. This calls for devices that meet these require- ments in terms of performance,” says Eisterhuber. Providing insights into the development process, he says the three-phase Ignis 250 extends the existing Ignis 150/180 series upward and offers maximum flexibility for electrode welding up to 250 A. This means that welding tasks with thicker materials or those requiring large electrodes can also be

with its perfect welds and easy handling, but also with its robust design. It is the perfect companion for outdoor use in harsh environments. The high-quality materials and sturdy housing ensure an extremely long service life. Like all Fronius devices, the Ignis 250 is future-proof. MMA welding systems are often exposed to high levels of wear and environmental influences. It is therefore imperative that all components be easily accessible and that they can be serviced or repaired quickly in the event of a failure. Fronius Artis and Igus welding ma- chines, including the new Artis 300 TIG and Ignis 250 MMA systems, are now available in South Africa through official Fronius Dis- tributors, Bolt & Engineering Distributors (B.E.D.) and Proac Engineering. https://www.fronius.com/en-za/south-africa
