The manufacturer iWave for automation — TIG/plasma/ArcTig source for robots and installations
Country: Austria · Model: iWave 300i–500i (automation)
For robots and welding installations, the iWave 300i–500i is made in an automated version with cold or hot wire TIG, plasma, ArcTig and, with the Multiprocess PRO option, MIG/MAG. The system regulates heat input, ignition and arc guidance itself within set limits, so the result is repeatable. The main applications are stainless steels, pipes, vessels and critical welds in food and chemical machinery and in the power industry.

Description
DynamicWire continuously adjusts the cold filler wire speed to the welding conditions; the operator changes one parameter and the system corrects the rest according to the material characteristics, with gaps bridged up to 30 % of thickness. The package is activated by software on automated iWave units with cold wire feeding. CycleTIG gives targeted heat input in short intervals with low or zero base current and a long pause, which helps when building up edges and repairing cast parts. RPI auto reduces the ignition delay by up to 71 % without manual setting. Plasma comes from the built-in module without a separate machine and without edge preparation, and ArcTig welds metal up to 10 mm thick in one pass much faster than ordinary TIG. The spring-loaded CrashBox with improved seals triggers along the Z axis in the negative direction and does not disturb TCP accuracy.
How to choose
The set of options depends on the process. Hot wire raises speed and reduces mixing with the base metal, but requires a second iWave source of 300 A or more to heat the filler. The PushPull configuration for TIG, plasma and ArcTig works over distances up to 18 m and can be retrofitted to existing systems. If the line has only MIG/MAG up to 600 A, it is simpler to take the TPS/i with robotic assistants.

FAQ
What thickness does ArcTig on the iWave weld in one pass?
In one pass ArcTig welds metal up to 10 mm thick and does so much faster than ordinary TIG.
What is DynamicWire in the iWave?
Active control of cold filler wire feeding during TIG. The wire speed adjusts automatically, and gaps are bridged up to 30 % of the material thickness.
Is a separate robot interface needed for the iWave?
No, the iWave is resistant to high frequency and uses the existing TPS/i robot interfaces without additional equipment, with a single process image for all processes.
Over what distance does PushPull feeding work in the iWave?
The PushPull configuration for TIG, plasma and ArcTig works over distances up to 18 m. It can be retrofitted to systems already in place.
