Tube welding solutions during a time of skills shortages

solid training that welders can learn to produce high-quality welds that rarely require rework and with few rejects. This is where the greatest potential for saving time and resources lies. And this applies to manual welding as well as automated production lines. The Fronius Welducation simulator takes virtual welder training to a completely new level. Encased in standard welding system housing, it features real welding torches and a realistic representation in augmented reality (AR). The Welducation Campus platform that comes with the simulator facilitates comprehensive quality welder training covering the theory, welding tasks, and knowledge testing. This type of training requires no gas, material, or filler wire at all, making it the ideal solution for saving money and the environment. The demo of the new Fronius TIG solution will be one of the highlights of the trade show. The iWave with cold wire feed technology and TIG DynamicWire welding package can help all TIG novices, or those with less experience, to achieve perfect TIG welds. The dynamic wire control actively adjusts the wire speed to the welding behaviour, torch position and current conditions, allowing users to fully focus on the arc. The process adapts to the welder, not the other way round. Alongside excellent training, standardisation can help to ensure quality from the first to the last component. The WeldCube Navigator from Fronius marks the launch of a

AT the Schweissen & Schneiden trade show in Essen, Germany, taking place from 11 to 14 September 2023, Fronius will focus on some of the current trends in welding technology. Quality requirements are rising across all industries, but the availability of the necessary welding specialists is reducing. Resource efficiency is also highly important from an economic and ecological perspective, especially when it comes to filler metals, gas and energy. This means it is essential to avoid production errors and time-consuming rework. Fronius Perfect Welding will be presenting the necessary technology at the leading international trade show for welding technology later this year. Fronius is extending its welding portfolio to include several solutions designed to counter skills shortages. “Our approach is to use digital tools to help ensure welding quality, reduce material usage and ensure ease of use and technological assistance – both for beginners and professionals,” said Harald Scherleitner, general director sales and marketing, perfect welding, Fronius International GmbH. “We carry out research and development with and for our customers. We understand their concerns and are delighted to present all our innovations at this trade show.” People and their skills and abilities lie at the heart of all the solutions that Fronius is exhibiting at the trade show. Fronius high-end welding systems offer all the technology you need to create perfect weld seams, but it is only through

Welders are guided through their tasks with on-screen step-by-step instructions, which both increases weld quality and makes familiarisation and training easier and faster. The Fronius team are looking forward to demonstrating these innovations at the at the trade show in Essen at Stand 3B55.
