How To Setup And Change The Inner Liner On A Fronius TransSteel 2200....????

[@JohnSmith-ho8up]

Priceless videos. Just bought one, absolutely love it . One tip is to make sure the mig torch is fully inserted before tightening up. Its a common fault which is costly to repair. Thanks again.

[@photonashville]

Received my Transsteel 2200 today and felt lost with the included pictographs. Your videos are incredible and a lifesaver. Cruising right along now. Thank you!

[@chris_b_liven]

Great to hear. Thanks for watching

[@dahut3614]

I completely agree. Hieroglyphics are not my native written language. And all those illustrated warnings on the sticker inside, LOL! A picture may be worth a thousand words, but if only six words are required, I'd rather just read those six words than try to figure out what what all those pictures mean!

Awesome video! Just pulled my TS2200 out of the box today. Appreciate all that you do my boy.

PRBB25 Sweet🤘Enjoy the machine

This is very helpful ,especially in regards to the mig gun. Mine was tighter than the virgin Mary.

Thanks for the video. Is there much difference changing the 2700 compared to the 2200

[@dahut3614]

That MTG320i is huge. Why is the smaller MTG250i not even sold in the US?

[@chris_b_liven]

You can always buy it but standard with our machines is the MTG 320

[@dahut3614]

@@chris_b_liven I can't find that anyone sells it except in Europe!

[@chris_b_liven]

@@dahut3614 get a machine and get this one as the free gift

[@dahut3614]

@@chris_b_liven Oh, is that an option? It doesn't look like anyone here sells the consumables. Tips I think are 6mm instead of 8mm, and I'm sure nozzles and diffusers are different. And I couldn't find info on the clamping pieces!

[@andycarpenter5561]

Hey Chris, can you tell me the max thickness steel/aluminum the 2200 can run in a single pass? Also, I've about drove myself crazy trying to get information on the 2700 version (which I'd like to order today) but can't seem to find ANYONE with any knowledge about it. Does it have the same features as the 2200 and just not packaged with the stick and tig gun? Or is it just a Mig/Synergic welder? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm ready to pull the trigger and would really like the 2700.00, but depending on the thickness I can weld in a single pass with the 2200, I'll buy this one instead. Thanks a ton, love your channel.

[@chris_b_liven]

Andy Carpenter It depends on your wire size and type for material thickness. You can weld 1/2 and below with no issues . Are you planning on using the machine on single phase power? The amperage output on the machines are similar unless you have three phase then you get full amperage on the 2700. The 2700 takes larger 44 lbs spools and it’s four roll drive vs two. Much more wire type options with 66 vs 24 and it’s 100% at 170 amps vs 150

[@chris_b_liven]

Also, you can buy a MIG only or a TiG complete package. The cart is an option

[@msdweldingfabrication7051]

How has the machine held up so far? Would you recommend this Brand above the typical American brands?Lincoln, miller? I've been trying for a while to find a good quality portable wire feeder I've tried Lincoln 210 MP and Miller multimatic 200, these machines only run good for about 3 to 4 months then you run into all sorts of problems. Have you tried running big wire on it like self shielded flux core .045?

[@chris_b_liven]

Hey 👋 I would say if you need the 110v option than there isn’t a better machine on the market. It’s 100% duty at 105 on 110v and 150 on 230v. Big punch 🥊 It does have .045 self shielded / dual shield and metal cored programs. They run great in regards to arc quality. Do you need 110? If not, I suggest the Fronius TransSteel 2700. It accommodates a large 44 lbs spool and it’s 4 wheel drive. The 2700 is 100% @ 170 - shoot me an email and I get someone local to reach out about one - [e-mail]

Greetings Chris, does this machine have HF start for TIG or is it only lift start? And can it be set up with a foot pedal? Thanks!

[@chris_b_liven]

Hello 👋 The machine is lift arc only and comes with finger tip controls for arc on/off and amperage adjustment. No foot pedal options for non high frequency units with Fronius

[@javiercontreras9048]

Hi. Awesome videos. I'm shopping for a new welding machine and have narrowed down between the Trans Steel 2200 and the ESAB 215 Emp. What is the thinnest metal you can weld on synergetic mode? With it. Have you tried the esab's so you can give me your feedback. To decide which welder to get.

[@chris_b_liven]

Javier, thanks for watching. The material thickness depends on the type of wire, diameter and gas mix you plan on using. The TransSteel can easily weld .020 thousands plate with .023 wire diameter. This is with solid wire 70-S 6 - On aluminum you can use 3/64 wire all the way down to .060 material thickness. If you look at a few more of my video I made one for each type of wire and gas mixtures

[@Precivilization]

Thanks for the clear video :-). Can it burn 6010?

[@chris_b_liven]

Precivilization Not so well... You have to keep it burried

[@Precivilization]

@@chris_b_liven Thanks for responding. I meant to also ask, if you max the machine duty cycle, will in shutoff automatically? I mean is the machine thermally protected?

[@chris_b_liven]

Precivilization Yes. If you hit duty cycle the machine will protect itself and turn on a countdown timer ⏱ You can’t weld until the timer gets to 0 and flashes the faceplate back on

[@Precivilization]

@@chris_b_liven Thanks for answering my questions :-)

[@dommendoza]

hi what max wire speed?

[@chris_b_liven]

It really depends on wire diameter because the smaller the wire it equals more wire feed speed

[@dahut3614]

What if I want to run .6 mm wire? There is no .023 liner for the 320 gun, would I need to get a 250 gun? Would the .030" liner work reliably for that 15 feet?

[@dahut3614]

I see in the description at Canadaweldingsupply dot com for the 40-0002-0054-005 liner that it does .023" and .030" and that is the liner that comes in the gun. It is, in fact, the larger wire liners which are added cost options. I would want a separate gun setup for each wire size and for this brand they are quite a bit more expensive!

[@chris_b_liven]

This liner is good for .030 up to .045 wire sizes. I suggest ordering the .035 liner which will feed the .023 much better

[@dahut3614]

@@chris_b_liven Okay, not the one that comes with the gun! I see there are Standard and Combination liners. There is a Standard .030" liner 40,0002,0040,005 which may be the better choice.

[@hall_moto]

Just got my 2200 today. It was working awesome but .023 jammed up with the liner that came with the welder. The jam was cleared easily and that’s when I realized the liner was not for .023… Is the .035 liner still the best for .023?

[@Precivilization]

Hey Chris, is the drive roller assembly made out of plastic? I wasn't able to tell looking at mine. Also, do you know of a flux core nozzle that would work with this gun?

[@chris_b_liven]

+Fluke Yes, a majority of the machine is plastic injection molded just like the drive wheel assembly. I haven’t seen much issues in regards to durability. Are you talking about self shielded flux cored wire or standard dual shield flux cored? If it’s self shielded just take the nozzle off. Depending on the torch setup you can just use the same nozzle which comes standard. This all depends on the country you buy the machine from. It’s either a red handle or black handle welding torch

[@Precivilization]

​@@chris_b_liven Thanks. I am talking about self shielded flux core. If I leave the nozzle on, I can't see, and it gets filled with crap from the flux core operation, if I take it off, wouldn't the threads and diffuser get ruined? I just wondered if there is a purposely designed nozzle for when using self-shielded flux core.

[@chris_b_liven]

Fluke They don’t have a nozzle but they make a torch setup for self shielded. I usually have a diffuser and tip that I swap out for self shielded.

Make sure Fronius pay you..they dont even have a video that are much detail as yours..shame on you fronius..
