Fronius To Attend Robotics And Automation Exhibition 2017

Construction News Image
Fronius has announced it will be attending the Robotics and Automation 2017 exhibition in Milton Keynes on 11 – 12 October

The company will display products from two of their business units on stand 316 at MK Arena.


At the show, welding technology specialists and battery charging experts will be exposing their capabilities within the fields of welding automation and robotic welding, as well as the domain of battery charging solutions for traction batteries.

As a systems supplier, Fronius have been creating the most cost-effective, customer specific and complete solutions for mechanised arc welding for over forty years.

Mechanised Welding Systems for optimum welding results and maximum return on investment

Fronius expertly combines the world's most innovative welding technology with mechanised components, resulting in outstanding welding results and significant competitive advantages making Fronius the unique partner for mechanised welding. The welding of components is often challenging and complex and often modules with the widest range of component geometries must be welded precisely in the same production cycle. This is made possible thanks to intelligent welding systems that accurately control and constantly monitor each individual welding process.

Robotic Welding for defined quality

Industrial series production has its own rules: defined quality, defined process times, defined costs and in theory, boundless reproducibility. In reality operating faults and variations in the quality of the material or the effects of thermal deformation during the welding process can all increase reject rates and downtimes, impacting on the profitability of the production operation. If a fault is not discovered and rectified immediately, the robot will reproduce it all along the assembly line. The issue here is that the robot must be able to think in order to evaluate a problem for itself. In developing the TPS/i for robotics, Fronius have built an intelligent power source that, in conjunction with the Fronius SpeedNet data transfer, continuously analyses data which is sent back from the arc at over 10,000 times per second. The welding power source then makes adjustments where necessary within set parameters, effectively "evaluating" and "thinking" for itself. The result is unsurpassed quality, highest efficiency and maximum reliability. In other words, profitable welding processes for all automated series production lines.

To meet the challenge of increasingly quicker production processes yet with simultaneously high expectations regarding quality in robotic welding, Fronius offers the LaserHybrid welding process, which combines the advantages of the MIG and laser-beam processes. LaserHybrid can now also be used with the advantages of the intelligent TPS/i platform.

Documenting, visualising and analysing welding data are becoming increasingly important in many production operations. With the WeldCube data management system, Fronius is making it possible to record, analyse and evaluate welding data across multiple power sources. This helps the user to identify potential areas for optimisation in welding production lines.

Battery Charging Systems that guarantee to save energy costs for your forklift fleet

Fronius welcomes warehouse and logistics managers and forklift fleet owners to come and discuss the savings potential when using the intelligent "Ri" charging process unique to Fronius. The company guarantees to save money on the energy costs of running your forklifts by up to 30%. Its offerings range from the sale of single battery chargers to total system solutions including multiple charging modules and complete charging rooms. Monitoring of the battery charging process can also optimise charging operations and identify battery defects with Fronius' online visualisation tool, the I-SPoT Viewer.

To find out how Fronius can help to increase the cost effectiveness of your production or logistics processes, visit them at stand 316 of Robotics and Automation 2017 at MK Area, Milton Keynes on the 11-12 October. Don't forget to attend their seminar at 10am on the 11 Oct. Alternatively call them on 01908 512300.
