Highlights of the Fortis
Reliable and Powerful
Excellent ignition properties and a constant arc allow the system to cover a wide range of applications.
Welding Made Easy
A clear, digital user interface keeps all key welding parameters visible at a glance.
Multiprocess
Fortis welding machines with multiprocess functionality combine MIG/MAG, TIG and MMA welding in one device.
Connectivity
Compatible with WeldCube Air and WeldCube Premium, equipped with Bluetooth remote and compatibility with welding accessories.
Designed with Sustainability in Mind
The Fortis series contains 53% recycled aluminium to help reduce its ecological footprint.
MIG/MAG
Welding Functions
Pulse Welding
Controlled and fast
Enables pulsed arc welding with low spatter and a variable working range from thin to thick sheets.
SynchroPulse
Seam rippling
Allows easy adjustment of energy input, making out-of-position welding and aluminium applications easier.
Stitch Welding
Low material distortion
Adjustable welding and pause times reduce heat input, helping to minimise material distortion on thin sheets.
TIG DC
Welding Functions
TIG Pulse Welding
Improves seam appearance and control, especially when welding thin materials or working in tight spaces.
Touchdown Ignition
An alternative to high-frequency ignition that improves user-friendliness with no restrictions on the area of application.
TAC Taking Function
Uses pulsed currents to oscillate the weld pool, simplifying tacking and reducing tacking time, particularly on thin materials.
MMA Welding
Welding Functions
HotStart
Temporarily increases current during ignition to improve electrode starting, especially with rutile and cellulose electrodes.
Arc-Force Dynamic
Supports stable welding with basic electrodes by preventing sticking during low-current welding.
Anti-Stick
Interrupts the welding process if the electrode sticks, preventing electrode burn-out and weld seam faults.
