WHEN STARS BECOME CLASSICS ...WHEN STARS BECOME CLASSICS ...
APPLAUSE FOR THE ALL-ROUNDGENIUSES
The Vario Star machines have long been a force
to be reckoned with in the welding industry. From being
promising newcomers to the world of welding, they
have worked their way up to become true classics,
thanks to their versatile properties. Today, the Vario
Stars 247, 317 and 317-2 are acclaimed as universal
talents that ensure the highest possible flexibility at the
same time as superlative quality. These powerful
MIG/MAG welding units also boast an outstandingly
attractive price/performance ratio.
A STAR ON MANY STAGES
No matter whether theyre performing spot, tack,
joint or overlay welding, trailing, leading, vertical-down
or vertical-up, the Vario Stars always know their parts
inside out, and play them with aplomb. This means that
theyre just as happy performing in the steel and portal
construction fields as in auto-body and repair work, not
to mention in training centres. Their breadth of character
can also be seen in their choice of props: CO2 or
mixed gas, wire thicknesses from 0.6 mm to 1.2 mm -
the result is always ideal.
SUCCESS WITH EVERY SINGLEWORKPIECE
A Vario Star is a delight to work with. Whatever
the job that needs doing, high-grade welding joints, low
spatter and exceptionally high performance are the
result. This is taken care of firstly by the specially
developed Fronius welding transformer, which ensures a
steady, stable arc, and secondly by generously
dimensioned power components such as rectifiers and
inductances, in conjunction with the series fan.
G E N E R A L
PERFECTLY CO-ORDINATED
When it comes to ease of handling, the Vario
Stars are hard to beat. None of their many technical
refinements intimidates the user in any way - far from it,
the user will only see them from their most
straightforward side. The electronic control system and
the 2 or 4-roller feeder system ensure constant, reliable
wirefeed - even in difficult welding positions. The
logarithmic display scale
makes it easy to set the
wirefeed speed -
continuously, precisely
and reproducibly. The
spot-welding and
intermittent welding
times are also
continuously adjustable, with the necessary controls
clearly arranged on the front panel. Every Vario Star has
a central connector that makes it possible to change
torches quickly and to make exact current and gas
connections.
The Vario Stars 317 and 317-2 thrill their
audiences with a number of well-rehearsed extra tricks
- like the integrated polarity reverser feature for flux-
cored wire welding, for example, or the digital
volt/ampere meter for ensuring the replicability of
welding data.
On the Vario Star 317-2, the wirefeeder is a
separate, autonomous unit that increases your radius of
action to as much as 10 m. As you will see, with a Vario
Star you can be 100% sure of a brilliant performance.
H A N D L I N G
U T I L I S A T I O N
W E L D I N G P R O P E R T I E S
A LEAN, MEAN PERFORMER
Take a closer look at the Vario Star and youll be
amazed at its exceedingly attractive price/performance
ratio. Apart from which, these are machines that hate
extravagance of any sort. But the best way to appreciate
just how thrifty they really are, of course, is to use one
in practice!
SAFE AND SOUND ON THE JOB
As a Vario Star user, you certainly wont be
taking any risks. Every machine comes as standard with
the CE-mark and the S-mark - a seal of protection for
welding in confined spaces under conditions of
increased electrical hazard. What is more, the welding
current is switched off automatically if the operating
temperature is exceeded or the
wirefeed system is
overloaded. As you
see, even the Star
itself is kept from
overdoing it and
damaging itself!
