The TPS/i welding system versions at a glance
The TPS/i is available with gas or water cooling in the 320i C, 400, 500, and 600 A power categories.
Compact welding systems:
TPS/i 270 C and TPS/i 320 C
In compact units in the lower power categories, the wirefeeder is integrated directly into the housing of the welding system. As a result, the devices are easier to use, especially for manual welding tasks, and also suitable for mobile applications.
Welding systems with external wirefeeders:
TPS/i 320 / 400 / 500 / 600
The split welding systems are designed for static use and ensure easy access. The external wirefeeder can also be used in mobile applications. Depending on the chosen hosepack, a working radius of up to 30 m is possible.

Welding Packages — The ultimate in flexibility
Depending on the welding requirements, the TPS/i can be equipped with different software packages, known as Welding Packages—from the introductory package to the high-end solution. The modular structure and regular software updates expand the system’s range of functions, providing the user with the perfect configuration to suit every challenge. The standard or pulse processes are available as basic packages. The advanced Welding Packages LSC, PMC, or CMT, are available for particularly demanding welding tasks.
Standard
The Standard package includes the dip transfer arc and the spray arc. Easy to use and suitable across the entire performance spectrum of unalloyed, low- and high-alloy materials.
Pulse
The Pulse package from Fronius facilitates pulsed arc welding. This guarantees low levels of spattering as well as a variable working range (light gage to thick gage sheets).
LSC—Low Spatter Control
LSC is a MIG/MAG welding process with high arc stability and reduced spattering in the dip transfer arc. In addition, the penetration stabilizer enables constant penetration in the spray arc, regardless of any possible stick out change.
PMC—Pulse Multi Control
PMC is a modified pulsed arc used in MIG/MAG welding. It utilizes penetration and arc length stabilizers to guarantee both higher weld seam quality and faster welding speeds.
CMT—Cold Metal Transfer
This highly specific type of droplet detachment minimizes the heat input. The reversing wire electrode movement also reduces the level of spattering.

Software solutions for the TPS/i
The software applications we offer for data management make the everyday work of welders and welding coordinators much easier and more efficient. In addition to the perfect welding result, these applications provide reliable data documentation and help determine the optimum welding parameters.
WeldCube Air
WeldCube Air is a secure, cloud-based platform allowing you to conveniently connect to and visualize welding data. There are no complicated procedures involved in installing the application. It’s ready to use right away, and facilitates the efficient management of your welding operations. Anytime and anywhere–whether on your PC, in the office, or on the go with your mobile device.
WeldCube Navigator
Real-time feedback solution for welding professionals. The WeldCube Navigator software solution supports you step-by-step in the manufacturing process.
WeldCube Premium
Transparency and safety, but also productivity and time savings, are common requirements in welding production. The recording of welding data for documentation and analysis purposes can be of invaluable assistance; and is precisely where the WeldCube welding data management software comes to the fore. The premium version provides you with a convenient, centrally located data documentation resource with intelligent management, statistical, and analysis functions, including graphical evaluations.
Central User Management
Central User Management provides quick and simple user administration, replacing a separate set-up directly on each device and thus saving a lot of time. It then becomes a simple matter to automatically transfer user rights to new devices.
WeldConnect app
WeldConnect makes it easy for welders to find the right parameters for their manual welding task. The app helps determine the correct settings at every step and allows the stored welding parameters to be transmitted wirelessly to the connected welding system. It can also be used to scan the part, series, and weld seam numbers for component-specific data documentation and perform user identification with NFC-enabled cellphones.
SmartManager
SmartManager is a web-based solution that allows you to access TPS/i data documentation from a web browser. The data is recorded locally on the device and made available via WeldCube Light and Basic. All settings can be made on the PC and, if necessary, exported or imported.
API
Our API is an interface solution that enables data to be exchanged with other systems. This means that you can easily access the data on our welding systems and create detailed analyses, evaluations, and visualizations using your own software packages. TPS/i supports the OPC-UA and MQTT protocols and is able to supply live data.Robotic welding with the TPS/i
The TPS/i is modular and can therefore be integrated very easily into various robotic welding systems.
The system setup supports customer-specific configurations, such as Push or PushPull solutions. Optional system extensions include torch cleaning devices and automated torch replacement.
