TiPTiG Technology

The Story of TiPTiG

TIPTIG is a welding technology from Krenglbach in Austria. Since 2000, a special wire feed system has been used in all kinds of technologies in this industry for TIG welding. Until 2007, the system was sold on the market as a dynamic TIG cold wire system. Welding speeds of 30 - 35 cm/min and a rate of deposition of 1.3 - 1.5 kg/h were perfectly feasible.

To achieve even more quality and quantity in welding production, the TIPTIG HW System was then launched on the market. Compared to the TIPTIG CW process, a considerable increase in production effectiveness was then achieved. Customers have reported a 300-400% increase in quantity with even better quality.

With the TiPTiG HDMT technology, we have set new benchmarks in all welding applications. Sales of almost 4,000 systems worldwide are proof of our technology and have made us specialists in the field of TIG cold and hot wire welding.

Process Description

The continuous linear forward motion of the welding wire, which is created by the infinitely adjustable wire feed, is overlapped by a simultaneously continuous FORWARD/BACKWARD motion. The overlapping of the two motions results in a kinematic energy that sets the weld pool in dynamic motion, ensuring safe processing.. In addition, the welding wire is now heated by a power supply. This is done by resistance heating of the filler material when it touches the melting bath.
