Ignis: The mobile MMA welding system

Ignis - The flexible Fronius MMA welding system

The best result with every power grid

The compact Ignis product family offers the perfect weld every time, even under the most adverse conditions, in the smallest of spaces, indoors or outdoors.

The Ignis makes a stable arc a reality, even with long grid leads or voltage fluctuations.

This robust MMA welding machine always provides perfect results, even with unstable grids, generator-powered operation, or over a wide operating radius. It makes the Ignis the perfect companion—especially on construction sites, for repair and maintenance work in industry and agriculture, and in any home workshop.

Highlights

Mobile and robust

All Ignis models are ideally suited for mobile use. At only 6.5 kg (Ignis 150) and 8.8 kg (Ignis 180), the two smaller models in particular are truly lightweight. The robust construction of the devices as well as the integrated stainless steel filter provide reliable protection even in demanding outdoor welding jobs or volatile weather conditions.

Full power even with long grid leads

With the Ignis, perfect welding results are a given even with grid leads up to 100 meters long. This is made possible by features such as the integrated PFC technology (Power Factor Correction), making the devices particularly energy-efficient while minimizing disruptive interference in the grid.

Easy and user-friendly operation

The intuitive operating concept and 7-segment display make it possible to quickly read the parameters that have been configured and simplify handling. Set slightly back, the user interface is also well protected against damage and external influences.

Wide range of versions with additional functions

The Ignis TIG models are a great way to get started with mobile TIG welding and offer convenient remote control operation. The Ignis 180 and 250 are also available in country-specific versions and can be used in regions with different mains voltages.

The Ignis is available in the power categories 150 A, 180 A and 250 A.

The MMA welding functions

HotStart

In order to make the electrode easier to ignite, the current is increased for fractions of a second on the MMA welding machine. The HotStart function was specially developed for welding with rutile and cellulose electrodes.

SoftStart

This function ensures a stable arc at the start of welding and was specially developed for basic electrodes that are welded with a low welding current.

Anti-stick

Prevents electrode burn-out. If the electrode sticks during manual arc welding—equivalent to a short circuit—the power output of the welding machine switches off immediately.

MMA Pulse

Better-looking welds and even faster welding thanks to the MMA Pulse function—especially in out-of-position welding.

TrackingArc

This function acts like a flashlight. Igniting the arc with only eight amperes makes it easier to find the exact starting position when re-igniting after the end of welding or an electrode change. In this way, you can avoid welding errors such as insufficiently filled end-craters or notch effects as well as time-consuming rework. The TrackingArc function is specifically designed for applications that do not use an automatic welding helmet or shield.

The TIG welding functions

TIG Comfort Stop

Prevents annoying arc breaks at the end of welding. Once the welding process is complete, the welding current switches off automatically after a specific change in the arc length. This ensures improved welding results in the area of the end-crater because the gas shield is also maintained.

TIG Multilock System

Simpler, more flexible welding: the Multilock System offers a variety of different and interchangeable torch bodies in various lengths and angles.

The Ignis TIG version offers you extended TIG welding functions:

TAC tacking function

One spot to tack is all it takes. The pulsed arc sets the two weld pools in motion, making them “jump together” in next to no time, forming one single weld pool. The TAC function is also very useful when welding light-gage sheets without filler metal.

TIG Pulse

This function (up to 990 Hz) enables precise control over the weld pool and ensures excellent seam jointing. The pulsed arc makes it easier to work with very thin materials, because the temperature is slightly lower in the phases with less current.

TIG Multi Connector

One solution fits all: this universal connection for system components, such as welding torches with special functions (Up/Down, potentiometers) or remote controls, gives the user cross-product advantages.
