Innovation in the plasma arc, at the NEC
The prestigious MACH 2008 event at the NEC allows TPS - Fronius to showcase a wide range of equipment used in industry, from construction to chemicals, from manufacturing to offshore engineering
Fronius have over 400 active patents, with a range of equipment encompassing MIG/MAG, TIG and MMA welding, and plasma cutting The Transcut 300 plasma cutting system is a technological breakthrough which utilises a small amount of liquid instead of the traditional compressed air

Cleaning welding torches
The innovative electro-magnetic way to clean welding torches has a positive effect with regard to quality and economy: non-contact and save money at the same time.
This liquid serves as a medium for the high-energy plasma beam, ensuring the lightweight portability of the machine.
No separate air supply is needed and it is also generator-compatible, making it an ideal tool for site use.
The 1.5 litre reservoir holds sufficient liquid for up to a month's work.
Weighing only 14.6kg, it can be carried virtually anywhere!.
The TransCut 300 produces high quality cuts of mild and stainless steels, and aluminium, up to 6mm thick.
The water-based cutting process avoids any nitriding of the cut surfaces and delivers bright, metallically clean, oxide-free surfaces.
This greatly reduces the risk of pore formation during subsequent welding work.
The reduction in flying metal sparks and resultant soiling of components means that far less cleaning and machining are required, which is particularly relevant to pipeline work.
There is also a reduction in the emission of harmful pollutants by up to 90% compared with conventional plasma cutting.
