RADICAL NEW WELDING PLATFORM With its radically new modular GMA welding platform TPS/i, Fronius is leading the industry into a new era. The customizable and upgradeable welding systems stand out for their intelligence and ease of use, including touchscreen control and software updates via USB and Ethernet. Users can select the hardware and software needed for their application and upgrade it as their requirements change. Fronius has made significant improvements to the art of welding and two new weld processes have been added, made possible by the integrated intelligence and high-speed control circuits of the TPS/i: short-circuit arc process LSC (Low Spatter Control) and PMC (Pulse Multi Control). Together, all of these features ensure the TPS/i is future-proof and allows users to weld with noticeably less spatter, a more stable arc, better penetration and higher efficiency.
