INTEGRATED
WELD DATA
LOGGER
Firefly includes an integrated arc welding data logger and
monitoring unit.
The unit offers a built in solution – a seamless integration with
minimal start up times and no external cabling.
Mounted to the front of the firefly control box, the eight-inch
touch screen unit will monitor variables such as arc voltage,
arc current, wire feed speed, travel speed, arc time and
traverse speed.
Data is captured digitally, direct from the weld power source.
