A1: "TransTig" has been a part of Fronius's nomenclature for over 40 years, but we are once again setting new benchmarks by rebranding it as "Artis". The name is inspired by the Latin term "arte, artesano" meaning "art, artisan", as TIG welding requires immense precision and expertise. This change showcases our shift towards a more contemporary and inclusive identity, moving away from a technology-driven approach to a name
that truly represents the purpose and advantages for welders.
Q2: What does XT stand for, and why are no more MV versions?
A2: XT stands for eXTended and consists of several features, including the possibilities offered by MV (multi-voltage). This allows single-phase devices from 96 to 265 V to be supplied with power.
XT also stands for optimal generator compatibility.
The integrated Power Factor Correction (“PFC” for short) improves the power factor and reduces losses such as reactive power or interference, making the XT versions even more energy-efficient.
Q3; Is the TransTig still available?
The Fronius TransTig will not be manufactured anymore, so it is only in the remaining stocks. For new orders, the Artis will replace the TransTig.
