TransSteel TPS/i Range

The TPS/i is a universal genius, available in the 320, 400, 500 and 600 A power categories. It has been redesigned from the ground up. As a result, the weld properties have been significantly improved, communication between man and machine has been optimised, and the handling has been perfected. The modular design and potential for system add-ons ensure a high degree of flexibility. With perfectly harmonised components, the TPS/i is the welding system of the future.

Fronius TPS/i Series

InteractIon: a new world of communications

The TPS/i is much more than just a tool – instead, it is a welding partner that communicates with the user in many different ways. The intuitive plain-text display gives users information on all machine parameters in the form of descriptive texts, and the system automatically detects all available components and warns of any incompatibilities. Among many other features, the mini-display integrated into the Jobmaster torch lets users control the power source from the welding workplace. Remote maintenance and system analysis are possible via Internet.

Improvement: superior welding properties

The central functions of the TPS/i have been restructured completely. The much faster processor performance means that many new control variables can now be measured. This makes it possible to analyse – and so to control – the weld process even more accurately, with several very positive effects: less spattering in the dip-transfer arc process, improved droplet detachment, an even more stable arc at the same time as higher welding speeds, controlled ignition properties, and much, much more. Welding has never been as simple, and with such impressive quality. Individuality: modular concept

One machine – endless possibilities.

The TPS/i is modularly designed. This means that the core of the machine is a future-oriented standard module which can easily be extended, even now. For example, the machine can have the functionality of a pulsed-arc power source added to it simply by carrying out an upgrade. New characteristics are easy to upload to it, from a USB stick or via the Internet connection, in the same way as for firmware updates. This modular architecture makes the TPS/i ready for whatever the future may bring. In this way, capabilities that are still undreamed-of can one day be the norm – all on the same machine. Revolution today, evolution tomorrow: You’re in for some surprises!

NO COMPROMISES. TRANSSTEEL MULTIPROCESS.

ONE DEVICE – FOR ALL MANUAL WELDING APPLICATIONS

Combining MIG/MAG, TIG, and electrode welding in one device means you no longer have to purchase any other power sources. There is absolutely no difference in the welding performance of the respective process compared with a dedicated device.

118 CHARACTERISTICS*

/ Steel, CrNi, AlMg, AlSi, Metal Cored, Rutil FCW, Basic FCW, self-shielded wires

/ 0.8 – 1.2 mm wire diameter

/ Eight different gas mixtures

READY TO WELD IN THREE STEPS

The intuitive operating concept enables welders to start work straight away – no prior knowledge of the device is required. All the essential welding parameters can be viewed and adjusted on the front panel. The only parameters that have to be selected before welding begins are the gas, wire diameter and material thickness.

70% LESS REWORK, 30% FASTER WELDING

The Pulse function of the TransSteel 3000C permits faster welding speeds on thicker materials. The pulsed arc also reduces the amount of rework, as less welding spatter is generated.

* Maximum number of characteristics (TransSteel 3000 C Pulse), will vary depending on the version.

THE MIG/MAG WELDING FUNCTIONS

PULSE
WELDING CONTROLLED AND FAST

The new TransSteel 3000C Pulse marks the arrival of the pulsed arc in the TransSteel series. The setting is simply selected from the main menu and facilitates controlled welding in the intermediate arc range.

SPOT AND STITCH
WELDING WITH NO MATERIAL DISTORTION

Spot mode enables you to place welding spots at regular intervals. As you have complete flexibility over the pause time between the intervals, spot welding is ideal for the tacking of workpieces. Stitch welding not only produces a rippled seam appearance, the low level of heat input reduces any possible material distortion when working with light gage sheets.

SPECIAL 4-STEP
MODE FOR A MORE STABLE ARC

The “Special 4-step mode” is particularly suitable for welding in the higher power range. In special 4-step mode, welding starts at a lower power, which makes the arc easier to stabilize.

SYNCHROPULSE
SEAM RIPPLING FOR ALUMINUM ALLOYS

The “SynchroPulse” option is recommended for the welding of aluminum alloys when a rippled seam appearance is required. This effect is achieved by modifying the welding power between two operating points.

! SynchroPulse works in Standard Synergic and Pulse Synergic Mode – but only on the TransSteel 3000C Pulse

STEEL TRANSFER TECHNOLOGY

/ STEEL is the universal characteristic for quick and easy welding applications.

/ STEEL ROOT is the characteristic specifically developed for root pass welding. It is characterized by particularly strong gap-bridging ability, in other words, the ability to fill wide gaps.

/ STEEL DYNAMIC is a characteristic with a particularly hard and concentrated arc, resulting in high welding speeds and deep penetration.

/ PCS (Pulse Controlled Spray Arc) characteristics* facilitate a combination of intermediate and spray arcs – the result is deep penetration with minimal spattering.

* TransSteel 3000C Pulse

CORRECTIONS DURING WELDING

The arc length correction and arc-force dynamic welding parameters can be used to optimize the welding result.

ARC LENGTH CORRECTION
TO CHANGE THE ARC CHARACTERISTIC

 shorter arc, reduced welding voltage
o neutral arc
+ longer arc, increased welding voltage

ARC-FORCE DYNAMIC
FOR INFLUENCING THE SHORT-CIRCUITING DYNAMIC AT THE INSTANT OF DROPLET TRANSFER

 hard, stable arc
o neutral arc
+ soft, low-spatter arc

PULSE CORRECTION
FOR CORRECTING THE PULSE ENERGY OF PULSED ARC

– Slower droplet detachment force
neutral droplet detachment force
higher droplet detachment force


TRANSSTEEL PULSE 4000 & 5000

… with nearly 170 optimized characteristics, the TransSteel series features the characteristics demanded by the heavyduty steel construction sector.Yet the power source remains versatile: The TransSteel versions with the Pulse function make child’s play of applications involving aluminum and stainless steel. SMEs can benefit from this variety of materials, as just one device is all they need to cover a wide range of applications. The underlying philosophy – stay on top of things. The function spectrum of the TransSteel has therefore been deliberately reduced to the essentials in all areas according to the motto – as much as necessary, with the best possible overview and ease of handling.
