Cold wire TIG

welding – smart

and simple

TIG cold-wire components are
available now for Fronius iWave.
The pioneering innovation lies in its
intelligent control. With the patented
new TIG DynamicWire welding
package, even amateurs can achieve
perfect TIG welds with ease. This is
because the dynamic wire control
always selects the right travel
