The EuroBLECH 2018 is all about being “On the pulse of digitalization”. In keeping with the theme, Fronius Perfect Welding will be putting digital solutions in the lime light at Hannover from October 23–26, 2018. The data management system WeldCube assists with the collection and analysis of welding data. Fronius will also present the TPS/i, a system platform that is perfectly suited for the demands of modern production processes. Another focal point is Fronius’ new device series for manual welding. Welding carriages and orbital systems from Fronius Welding Automation as well as a range for resistance spot welding complete the exhibition portfolio.
Modern welding systems collect various information such as current, voltage, wire speed, and welding speed. With the help of a data management system, users can use this information to optimize processes. The Fronius WeldCube software processes the most important welding data and then provides it in a clear overview.
Efficiency through Transparency with Data Management
A WeldCube installation can connect up to 50 power sources. This network enables the documentation of data at a component level across multiple devices. Furthermore, users can, in combination with the TPS/i welding platform, create and edit tasks for all power source that are connected to the WeldCube.
The user can configure his analyses individually and retrieve them by computer or on the go via tablet or smartphone. This way the WeldCube supports a modern production and helps optimize processes and reduce costs.
TPS/i: Flexible System Platform for High Performances
The TPS/i system platform not only creates the basis for a network: It also has a high performance processor and a high speed bus so therefore offers increased arc control and higher precision welding processes. Thanks to the function packages, the welder can use several processes such as LSC (Low Spatter Control), PMC (Pulse Multi Control), as well as CMT (Cold Metal Transfer) on the same TPS/i. Visitors can see the excellent welding characteristics of the power source for themselves during the live welding demonstration at EuroBLECH.
With the LaserHybrid welding process, Fronius meets the challenge of faster production processes and demands for higher quality. This process combines the advantages of GMAW and laser beam welding processes. Users can now also use LaserHybrid on the TPS/i and thus profit from the modular power source technology as well as the new characteristics and processes.
Handy Multi-Purpose Devices for Manual Welding
In 2018 Fronius launched a new manual TIG welding series. The power sources use the technological innovations of the TPS/i platform. This results in TIG devices with intuitive controls and improved ignition and welding properties. The new generation features the MagicWave 230i which visitors can view in action at live demonstrations during EuroBLECH.
Another of Fronius’ innovations is the TransSteel 2200. The hand-held welding torch masters MMA, MIG/MAG, and TIG welding processes, and is ideal for changing tasks. The compact multi-talented device only weighs 15.5 kg and is robust, reliable, and easy to operate.
Welding Automation: Reproducible Seam Quality
Fronius offers solutions for mechanized welding with Welding Automation. The FlexTrack 45 Pro welding carriage has a rail system and a robust, light carriage. The constant travel speed provides optimal, reproducible welding results.
The requirements for pipe connections within the energy technology, biochemistry or food industries are especially high. Here, the Fronius TIG orbital welding systems are the best option. Multiple functions enable the user to efficiently carry out a wide spectrum of high quality welding tasks.
Modular Gun for Aluminum Spot Welding
It isn’t just its arc technology that Fronius will present at EuroBLECH: With DeltaCon the company expands its product range for resistance spot welding. The new spot welding gun has been optimized for aluminum applications and offers high productivity due to minimum downtime. DeltaCon has a modular structure—users can use the main component for guns with X as well as C geometry. This increases flexibility and cost effectiveness.
