Fronius’ next-generation Fortis
Fronius has launched its next-generation Fortis series MIG/ MAG and Multiprocess system, a versatile range of solutions for high-quality manual MIG/MAG, TIG and MMA welding with an all-new modern design that meets the diverse require- ments of small and medium-sized businesses. Fronius Fortis: flexible, networked and powerful MIG/MAG
T he new generation Fronius Fortis range was launched at FABTECH in Chicago (USA) and SCHWEISSEN & SCHNEIDEN in Essen (Germany) in Sep- tember this year. “Fortis combines robust technology and intuitive operation with maximum connectivity to set new stan- dards in the metalworking industry,” said Peter Fronius, Head of System Solutions at Fronius International. The Fortis product range comprises several powerful devices operating in the 270-500 A welding current range. They are available as either compact all-in-one systems or as split versions with external wire feeders, which provide a significantly extended operating range. All models can be equipped with proven Fronius functions, including pulse welding, SynchroPulse, stitch welding, TAC tacking, HotStart and anti-stick. The Fortis XT complements the portfolio as a highly energy-efficient all-rounder for
three-phase mains voltages ranging from 200 to 600 V and single-phase operation at up to 320 A, featuring an advanced cel- lular electrode (CEL) welding mode. As a result, these machines are ideally suited for worldwide use, saving energy thanks to their higher power factor and offering a higher output characteristic curve for even greater welding performance. Rounding off the range is the Fortis Duo, which combines a compact Fortis MIG/MAG machine with an additional, external wire feeder, enabling the use of two wire spools and two welding torches from a single power source. “This enables the welder to easily switch between different materials or wire diameters at the touch of a but- ton, all without any retooling,” explained Michael Eisterhuber, Product Line Manager at Fronius International. “Users save an
enormous amount of time through this feature, which is ideal for frequently
