The external ignition module, which can be combined with QINEO QuesT, ensures safe ignition of the TIG arc over long cable lengths between the welding power source and the welding torch. The module is installed close to the welding process so that the torch hosepack can be kept as short as possible. The short transmission distance of the ignition voltage reduces interference to surrounding components and prevents ignition voltage losses in large overall systems. You can connect up to four ignition modules to one QINEO QuesT. This enables the alternating operation of several welding torches and wire drives on one power source. The ignition module has a modular design, has numerous standard monitoring components (e.g. water flow sensor, temperature monitoring, ignition voltage monitoring, etc.) and is equipped with a connection for the mono wire drive system. The sensor measures the flow rate of the shielding gas and forwards the signal to the QINEO QuesT, where it is processed in the optional WPM (Weld-Process-Monitoring). This allows the gas flow rate to be controlled and monitored close to the welding process.

• Reliable ignition with long cable lengths between the power source and welding torch
• Simple installation of complex systems and systems by using the ignition module with ignition voltage-free cables to the QINEO QuesT
• Increased system availability by minimizing the influence of possible interference from the HF ignition voltage on other system components
• Excellent weld seam quality thanks to infinitely variable control and monitoring of the shielding gas quantity
