Speed of Light

The time is drawing near! The world’s premier welding trade fair will soon be upon us once again. The intensive preparations for this major event have paid off handsomely at Fronius: A slew of brand-new developments will be unveiled in Essen, each more exciting than the other.

But it’s not just a lot of the products that are new, but also – as you can see right now – our presentation style. weld+vision – our magazine for our clients and partners – has been given a thorough makeover. Just like our welding systems, we’ve made our magazine “user-friendlier”, too. The contents now follow a fixed arrangement which will make it easier for you, the reader, to find your way around future issues.

For example, under the heading “Totally R & D”, you’ll find information about our latest developments. Other sections will include: “Case studies”, “The company”, “Looking back”, “In-house” etc. The contents will always have a technological emphasis – as you would expect from a technology leader. The format is handier, yet also more exclusive. Its layout has been redesigned so that “speed-readers” can quickly scan it to pick up the key information, while “depth readers” will still find plenty to get their teeth into.

In fact, the latter will even be pointed to extra material on many of the articles in the Internet. By the way, talking of “fast” and “slow”: This issue’s cover title is “speed”. As the introduction on the next page points out, high speed often needs to be examined in a more critical light, and sometimes we should even have the courage to deliberately slow down. Wishing you an enjoyable read with this first new-look edition of weld+vision.
