Fronius has launched a dual wirefeeder that allows welders to switch to another filler metal or wire diameter.

The WF 25i Dual is ready to go without the need to change the spool or switch to another welding system.

The dual wirefeeder can supply each process line with gas separately. The WF 25i Dual wire feeder standard packages support wire spools from 8" (S200) up to 14" (S350) and with an adapter can accommodate wire coils up to 17.7" (B450) also referred to as 60lb coils.

WF 25i Dual can be used for many practical applications. For example, it can help a user switch from a thin wire for tacking to a thicker wire for fill passes, or if a component calls for two filler wire materials such as steel and flux core wire. Notable areas of application are construction machinery and pipeline construction, as well as the automotive industry and its suppliers.

The operating concept behind the WF 25i Dual enables welders to switch the process line, filler wire, and associated parameters in a number of ways. For convenience, the user can reach for the second welding torch and start the process line directly with the torch trigger. There’s no need to walk to the wirefeeder anymore. Of course, selection can still be made at the wirefeeder or directly on the welding system display with the touch of a button. Alternatively, the RC Panel can be used—this is positioned near the welder so the required process line can be activated there. This is suitable for particularly long hosepacks for systems mounted on a crane or Trabant.

Customers can create a system that meets their needs. For example, the WF 25i Dual can be mounted on a cart, crane, Trabant, or boom. This means there is always enough space to reach difficult to access areas in complex welding environments. The radius can be enlarged further with an interconnecting hosepack up to 25 meters long between the welding system and the wirefeeder while the wirefeed to the welding torch remains stable.
