Fronius presents the Velocity Assistant for manual MIG/MAG welding

Velo impresses welding specialists with its assisted torch guidance and constant welding speed—for perfect, reproducible seams with reduced physical strain.

With the new Velocity Assistant, or Velo for short, Fronius is taking manual MIG/MAG welding to a whole new level. The innovative system was presented to the public for the first time at SCHWEISSEN & SCHNEIDEN in Essen and at FABTECH in Chicago and caused quite a stir among all those who often weld long, precise seams. Velo impresses welding specialists with its assisted torch guidance and constant welding speed-for perfect, reproducible seams with reduced physical strain.


Long welds pose challenges even for experienced welders: consistent speed and precise torch guidance are crucial for the quality of the seam-but at the same time difficult and above all strenuous to maintain over longer distances.

This is precisely where Velo comes into its own, as the Velocity Assistant makes it possible for the first time to control the welding speed during manual welding. As a result, it supports a wide range of applications, especially where long, even welds are required-for example, in the areas of commercial transportation, heavy-duty machinery, steel construction, or apparatus engineering. Velo is suitable for thin-sheet applications as well as for thick-sheet welding in steel, CrNi, or high-strength steel.
