    ActiveWave technology boosts cost efficiency. 

    The 2500 model of the Fronius MagicWave series is one of the many digitised TIG AC/DC power sources in their line and is commonly used for aluminium purposes. Weighing at approximately 26.6Kg, the 2500 power source possesses a tremendously robust design and a remarkable state-of-the-art operating system.

    Features

    • Active Wave Technology – this feature was put in place to make the process of TIG AC welding a much quieter task in the workshop environment. A digital signal from within the power sources computes its waveform to achieve the highest possible arc stability with the lowest possible noise levels in real time. Even when delivering mass power of 300A which is no match for MagicWave’s ActiveWave feature
    • TAC – with the TAC application, one spot is all that’s needed when two weld pools are in motion. This feature was created to make the weld pools jump together in absolutely no time to generate a single weld pool. This function is also very beneficial for welding light-gauge sheets without the need for filler metal
    • HF Ignition – this power source was designed to make the welding process a fundamentally easier task. This is proved evident with the HF Ignition tool, the most effortless and safest way to ignite the most dangerous of arcs
    • Touchdown Ignition - like the above, the Touchdown Ignition was made for use in principally sensitive application areas. With this feature in play, any chance of electromagnetic interference can be avoided, which can often occur during processes like HF Ignition
    • Automatic Cap-shaping – this feature permits automatic cap-shaping when in the process of welding the likes of aluminium and other such materials; this is done to save significant amounts of time. The adjustment of sizes can also be set by the user

    Fronius AC / DC TIG Welders FAQs

    Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing and using AC/DC TIG welders, especially for aluminium.

    When do I need an AC/DC TIG welder rather than a DC-only machine?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    You need AC if you weld aluminium or magnesium alloys. These metals carry a tough oxide skin that melts at a much higher temperature than the metal underneath. On the alternating current cycle the arc breaks that oxide up, which lets you form a clean puddle.

    DC is the right choice for steel, stainless steel, copper alloys and titanium. An AC/DC machine does both, so it suits workshops that mix aluminium with other metals. If you only ever weld steel and stainless, a DC machine does the job and is simpler to use.

    What does AC frequency change in the arc?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Frequency is how many times per second the current alternates. A lower frequency gives a softer, wider arc that is forgiving and suits thicker material or wide beads. A higher frequency gives a tighter, stiffer, more focused arc that helps with fillet joints, edge welds, thin sheet and precise control around corners.

    There is no single correct figure. Try a few settings on offcuts of the same material and joint type, and choose the one where the puddle is easy to steer and the bead looks even.

    Single phase, three phase or multi-voltage: which supply do I need?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Start by checking what your premises can supply. Single-phase machines run from a single-phase supply but are limited in maximum output, and larger ones may need a higher-rated socket than a standard one. Three-phase machines suit workshops with a three-phase supply and give more power for thicker material. Multi-voltage machines adapt to different supply voltages.

    Output may differ depending on the supply you connect to, so check the data plate and manual for your own machine, which give the rated output at each voltage. Have a qualified electrician confirm the supply, fuse rating and cable before installation.

    What is the difference between a power source and a package?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    A power source is the machine on its own. A package normally adds the items needed to start welding, such as a torch, an earth lead and a gas hose, and sometimes a cooling unit or a remote control. The contents differ from set to set, so read the description closely.

    Check that the torch is the right type for the machine, with the correct connection and cooling method, and that the leads are long enough for your work area. If you are adding your own torch or accessories, confirm they are compatible with the machine's connections.
