Description
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.
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.
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.
It’s all within your grasp
- Durable
Long service life: the Ignis product family is designed and made with sustainability in mind. A high-quality stainless steel filter inside the device, robust housing, and 3.5 cm ground clearance guarantee the welding machine will have a long service life.
- Energy-efficient
The integrated PFC technology (Power Factor Correction) also ensures minimal energy loss, even with long grid leads. This makes the Ignis highly energy-efficient, and minimizes disruptive interference with the grid. The optionally adjustable automatic time shutdown (300 or 900 s) also ensures that no valuable energy is wasted even in standby mode.
- Easy to maintain and repair
All the main Ignis components are easy to access, making maintenance work quick and straightforward. Defective parts are generally easy to pinpoint and replace. Plus, all Fronius devices can be opened and repaired using commercially available tools.
