Fronius offers an extensive range of products and solutions in the field of robotic welding, from the welding machine and a wide variety of robot welding torches to intelligent assistance systems that boost quality and efficiency. As a system provider in the welding automation segment, Fronius implements customized, highly cost effective complete solutions for automated mechanized arc welding.
TPS/i Push systems: Push systems are particularly suitable for standard applications (e.g., CrNi and steel) where consistent quality and high system availability are required.
TPS/i PushPull systems: Equipped with two perfectly synchronized wirefeeders, these systems are mainly used for long wirefeeding distances and soft filler metals. PushPull systems are suitable for all processes and applications.
TPS/i CMT Twin: A combination of two independently operating forms of arc welding in a single process, be it two CMT processes or one CMT and one GMAW pulse welding process. Thanks to the extremely stable arc, even thin sheets can be welded at high speed, with little spatter, deep penetration, and an optimized weld seam flow.
LaserHybrid: A combination of laser and GMAW welding. The high welding speed and concentrated energy of the laser in combination with the GMAW arc bring advantages when joining thin sheets as well as thicker materials. LaserHybrid is now also available in combination with the TPS/i.
iWave automated—the versatile welding machine for every process: Discover the iWave, now for robot applications. This welding machine masters every welding process (TIG, plasma, MIG/MAG including all welding packages) with no compromises on quality. Whether you’re working with TIG or plasma, the iWave can be set up in both a hot wire and a PushPull configuration. Another highlight is ArcTig, a TIG keyhole welding process that stands out for its high welding speed and depth, which is now also available on the iWave platform.
Robot welding torch: With various torch bodies on offer in a range of lengths and with different angles, the right robot welding torch is available whatever the welding application. All robot welding torches are also available as gas and water-cooled versions.
Robot assistance systems: Save money with wire-based assistance systems
WireSense—detect the edge position and air gap height: The patented WireSense technology works together with the welding machine to enable the robot to detect the edge position and any air gaps between the sheets.
TouchSense—detect the fillet weld position: To compensate for component and clamping tolerances, the robot can use TouchSense to check the position of fillet welds automatically before each weld.
SeamTracking—track seams during welding: Where thick sheets or long seams are being welded, the resulting heat can lead to distortion or poor positioning of the components. SeamTracking ensures the detection of fillet welds and butt welds without any additional hardware whatsoever.
TeachMode—efficient robot programming: The teach mode supports the welder when programming welding positions on the robot and in doing so makes the programming process more efficient. The reversing wire movement prevents the wire bending upon unwanted contact with the component.
Robacta CTC: Robacta CTC automates the manual changing of gas nozzles. It takes no more than 50 seconds for the tip to be changed, without production being halted for someone to intervene. Pre-defined torques also reduce the risk of operating errors by maintenance personnel, thus extending the service life of the equipment.
Robacta Reamer: With the right cleaning, the service life of welding torch wear parts can be increased many times over. Depending on the welding material and application, we offer suitable cleaning systems to match the right welding torches and wear parts; for example, cleaning methods such as milling, brushing, or magnetic cleaning are available for steel or aluminum applications.
FCW Smart: The perfect way to get started with mechanized welding of pipe-pipe and pipe-flange connections, as well as valve and bearing seats. Easy to operate and program, the FCW welding cell is also an intelligent response to the acute shortage of skilled welding specialists and stands out thanks to its versatility when using various welding processes.
CWC-D: The Fronius CWC-D cobot welding cell is all about cost effective welding—from small batch runs through to series production. The welding cell provides for maximum flexibility: one-station operation for large workpieces, or two-station operation to set up and weld in parallel. Programming is made easy using drag and drop, with no prior knowledge of robot programming required. The Fronius Pathfinder also offers the option of offline programming to avoid production downtimes.
CWC-mobile: The Fronius CWC-mobile provides for portability in cobot welding. Its compact design, including the transport unit with casters and retractable feet, makes it easy to move the welding cell between different large components. CWC-mobile fulfills statutory safety requirements and is CE-certified. Not only that, the welding table makes it simple to weld small series.
Fronius Pathfinder: The Pathfinder programming and simulation software allows the user to create welding jobs offline without having to interrupt ongoing welding processes. This saves time and money. With the help of simulations, errors and collisions can be detected in advance and welding sequences optimized. Intelligent welding path management and innovative calibration logarithms guarantee accurate welding paths, which form the basis for high-quality welds that can be reproduced at any time.
HMI Cockpit: The innovative software solution for recording and analyzing machine data from automated Fronius welding systems. Increase machine availability, optimize your production processes, and analyze consumption and costs. HMI Cockpit makes welding work more efficient and reduces downtimes.
iSeamer: Fronius presents the new generation of welding systems for longitudinal seams—the iSeamer. Featuring a modular design, this longitudinal seam welding system boasts pioneering system control, innovative welding technology, and precision mechanical engineering.
Acerios—surface cleaning with hot active plasma: The Acerios hot active plasma technology allows partial and precise cleaning of material surfaces in industrial production by removing organic residues and film impurities without the use of chemical cleaning additives.
Fronius Additive: The additive manufacturing process for metal 3D printing, also known as wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), enables quick, cost effective, and precise component production. The wire-based and arc-based CMT process creates complex geometries and a high degree of flexibility in component design while delivering high deposition rates, all of which make Fronius Additive ideal especially for prototype construction and small batches.
Prototyping & Manufacturing Center: Our experts support you from the initial consultation through to the development and production of your component. We work with you to develop and optimize welding processes for prototypes, series production, and custom solutions—and this even extends to complex geometries, new materials, and challenging jobs. Based on targeted analyses and test series, we ensure quality and efficiency and create cost effective, reproducible production processes.
