- Fronius iWave - A premium TIG system offering exceptional precision, perfect for fine welding on hydraulic fittings, specialist fabrications and repair of high‑value components.
- Fronius Artis - Portable, reliable MMA welding for quick on‑site repairs, brackets, guards and field servicing - a tool every service van should carry.
- Fronius Ignis - A versatile MMA solution suited for rugged industrial environments, capable of consistent performance on thick materials often found in quarry and construction equipment.
- Fronius Ignis Battery - With zero‑cable welding for remote repairs, confined areas, or situations where power access is limited, the Ignis Battery offers ultimate welding mobility. A game‑changer for breakdown response in large quarry sites.
We’ll demonstrate how each system supports heavy-duty maintenance, reduces downtime, and improves weld quality on equipment central to quarrying and construction operations.
