Fit for the future thanks to smart robot welding technology
2025-07-31
Pursuing progress and innovation in consultation with the customer, trendsetting Austrian company Anton Paar manufactures high-precision measuring devices for a wide range of industries. Its dedicated research, engineering, and production teams aspire to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Today, Anton Paar GmbH is the world leader in density and concentration measurement, rheometry, and the analysis of dissolved CO2. A growing shortage of skilled workers and ever-increasing quantities call for intelligent production solutions, so the company invested in a latest-generation robotic welding cell.
Metal 3D printing on the rise worldwide
2025-07-28
These days, we live in an extremely challenging, tense time. Global economic and geopolitical tensions, combined with supply chain bottlenecks, put us to the test on an almost daily basis. Risky dependencies exist in the procurement of components. Production is set to become increasingly environmentally friendly, economical, and individualized. Series products are increasingly being replaced by customized products manufactured in small batches. This is where metal 3D printing comes in. Fronius Welding is setting a milestone with the CMT Additive Pro process variant.
Ergonomic welding – a contradiction in terms?
2025-07-24
Whenever series production is not a consideration, welding is frequently carried out by hand. Welders often work in positions that strain the joints and muscles, for example when welding while forced to adopt awkward postures. This results in complaints such as sprains of the lower back or arms, which not only affect the health of welding professionals, but also come at the expense of the company’s productivity. Companies are therefore increasingly focusing on ergonomics during welding.
CMT turns 20: Unrivaled precision and stability
2025-07-14
Since its introduction in 2005, the Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) process developed by Fronius has fundamentally changed welding technology. CMT set new standards in precision, process stability and application diversity—and in a surprising way: A simple light bulb played a decisive role in its development. Joe Artelsmair explains exactly how this came about in an exclusive interview. As one of the key developers, he was involved right from the start and has witnessed first hand how the process evolved from a promising research project to a key technology in modern joining technology.
Sustainability by Design
2025-07-04
We have been working meticulously to carve out our position as an innovation leader in welding technology. It is therefore no surprise that our research and development work in the last 40 years has resulted in numerous milestones in welding technology, which at the same time have always focused on quality, resource conservation and sustainability. Our innovations always aim to provide customers with the highest quality, while also saving valuable resources, be it time and money, or energy and materials.
Fronius VSP: how we have global customer proximity down to a fine art
2025-07-01
Fronius is passionate about welding. To ensure the customer enjoys the finest benefits with the highest levels of satisfaction, we have always made it our mission—in the spirit of technology leadership—to meet the highest quality requirements. But in terms of customer service and support too, we have steadily evolved over decades into a first-class provider. Responsible for this is our VSP (German abbreviation for “sales and service process”), which has been a tradition at Fronius for more than 25 years and cannot be found anywhere else in the welding technology sector.
Virtual welding: new training prospects
2025-06-26
The welding industry is facing a problem: even companies whose primary task is welding are unable to escape the clear shortage of skilled workers in every area. Furthermore, the challenging combination of metallurgy, physics, and electrical engineering is accompanied by certain dangers that could act to deter potential young welders from joining the industry. Taking a look through the augmented reality glasses of our new Welducation Simulator may provide the answer to both issues, while also protecting the environment.
From easels to arcs: meet our (welding) masters
