Overview

Fronius bietet intelligente robotische Schweißlösungen, die für Flexibilität, Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Kosteneffizienz konzipiert sind. Diese Systeme sind ideal für Unternehmen jeder Größe und bieten konsistente, hochwertige Schweißnähte mit vollständiger Dokumentation der Schweißparameter. Die robotischen Schweißlösungen umfassen Offline-Programmierung, Systemautonomie und schnelle Einrichtungszeiten, was sie auch für kleine Chargen geeignet macht. Die Systeme integrieren fortgeschrittene Lichtbogentechnologie und Sensoren, um eine optimale Schweißleistung und Effizienz zu gewährleisten.

Flagship features

  • **Key differentiator:** Fronius is a welding technology specialist, not a robot arm manufacturer. The TPS/i is a welding power source and system designed to be integrated with third-party robot arms
  • **Partner integrations:** Compatible with robots from multiple manufacturers via standard interfaces
  • **Deployment case study:** ALTEC (Austrian aluminum fabricator) retrofitted existing robotic cells with TPS 320i CMT; eliminated high failure rates, achieved all-position welds in one process
  • **Awards/partnerships:** Not explicitly listed on page
  • **Limitations:** Not a standalone robot arm; requires a separate robot manipulator. Price on request (contact sales)
  • **Financing:** Not mentioned

Additional Information
- **Key differentiator:** Fronius is a welding technology specialist, not a robot arm manufacturer. The TPS/i is a welding power source and system designed to be integrated with third-party robot arms. - **Unique capabilities:** Includes proprietary CMT (Cold Metal Transfer) process for low-heat input welding; PMC (Pulse Multi Control) for high-speed pulsed welding; LSC (Low Spatter Control) for reduced spatter. - **Assistance systems:** WireSense (measures component deviations via wire electrode), TeachMode (auto retract wire on collision), SeamTracking (real-time seam compensation), TouchSense (component scanning), ShortCircuitDetection (spatter detection), SlagHammer (slag removal), SFI (spatter-free ignition). - **Software ecosystem:** WeldCube Premium (welding data management), Central User Management, WeldConnect app (parameter selection), SmartManager (web-based device access), API (OPC-UA/MQTT for data exchange). - **Partner integrations:** Compatible with robots from multiple manufacturers via standard interfaces. - **Deployment case study:** ALTEC (Austrian aluminum fabricator) retrofitted existing robotic cells with TPS 320i CMT; eliminated high failure rates, achieved all-position welds in one process. - **Awards/partnerships:** Not explicitly listed on page. - **Limitations:** Not a standalone robot arm; requires a separate robot manipulator.
