Flexible Stick Welding

Indiana's Fronius expands product portfolio

Portage, Indiana's Fronius is known for producing flexible, robust, and made for everyday welding.

The company's new Ignis 250 expands the product portfolio with "a powerful device that

enables manual arc welding to be performed with up to 250 A anytime and anywhere," per a March 4 press release sent to Electrical Apparatus.

In addition to the familiar functions of the more compact models, the Ignis 250 boasts

higher performance, greater ease of operation, and an extended XT version for

worldwide use.

The company reminds us that "each welding task brings its own specific requirements, but the weld quality always has to come first and, depending on the application, also look good. Welders face challenges in the form of varied environmental influences, hard-to-reach areas, or voltage fluctuations in the power grid, especially during maintenance and servicing tasks or assembly work."

The Ignis series reportedly helps to successfully master welding tasks under adverse conditions and keep the arc stable. This product is designed to make address these concerns for larger welding tasks that require more power—without compromising on functionality or user-friendliness.

“When it comes to Stick welding, welders are confronted with an increasingly diverse range of tasks and materials. This calls for devices that meet these requirements in terms of performance,” says Michael Eisterhuber, Product Manager at Fronius, providing insights into the development process.

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 higher material thicknesses or those requiring large electrodes can also be optimally implemented.
