Fronius TransPocket 180

Fronius TransPocket 180

The new generation of TransPocket 180 devices brings a high degree of flexibility. The integrated PFC (Power Factor Correction) technology supports the use of extremely long mains leads of up to 100 m in length. The operating concept has also become even more intuitive. A 7-segment display makes it possible to quickly read off the parameters that have been configured. In addition, the display is slightly set back and therefore well protected against damage. Easily comprehensible setup settings are a tremendous help in simplifying operation.

Fronius Accupocket 150

With the AccuPocket, access to mains electricity is no longer necessary. Welding tasks involving up to eight 3.25 mm or up to eighteen 2.5 mm electrodes can be carried out autonomously. A small, compact 2 kVA generator is sufficient for welding applications on a larger scale. And all without any restrictions on welding power or the quality of the arc. The very latest functional design, with dimensions reduced to a minimum, a low weight and a robust construction, make AccuPocket the perfect partner on any construction site.

Duty Cycle Explained

A square style graph demonstrating duty cycle duration

Duty cycle is the term given to the percentage of time when a machine will operate at the set amperage. For example, a particular welding machine may have a duty cycle of 200 Amps @ 60%. This means that for every 10 minutes, the machine works at 200 Amps for about 6 minutes. If you continue to weld past 6 minutes the amperage will drop slightly giving you less power which you will see in the arc as you weld. Duty cycle is not when machine “cuts out”, this cut out will only happen when the machine is to hot and the thermal overload protection has kicked in to prevent the machine from being damaged or catching fire.
