Unleashing excellence in welding
We kick-started this digital revolution in
1998 by launching TransPuls Synergic (TPS), the first digitally
process-controlled welding system—and have been setting the benchmark in
welding technology ever since. Fast forward to today, and our WeldCube portfolio
not only enables the central recording, analysis, and management of welding
data, but takes transparency, traceability, and efficiency to a new level. This
means our customers can guarantee high-quality welds while saving time and
money.
WeldCube Air offers an easy introduction to cloud-based data management. Welding certificates and WPS documents are managed centrally—paperless, secure, and retrievable at any time. The platform is ready for use right away, requires no additional software, and helps welding supervisors ensure their production complies with the relevant standards.

WeldCube Premium takes
it a step further. Featuring detailed dashboards, REST API interfaces, and
comprehensive process documentation, this is the ideal solution for companies
looking to place a consistent focus on an Industry 4.0 strategy. Integrated
into MES and ERP systems, the solution enables a seamless flow of data—from
planning to quality assurance. Traceability, process stability, and central job
management are just a few of the advantages.
A
further key to success is the open
system architecture of our solutions. Our welding systems can also be
seamlessly integrated into existing IT environments via standardized interfaces
such as OPC UA and MQTT. Customers can set up their own data management
solutions, put resources to best use, and implement individual evaluations all
to suit their own commercial needs. This flexibility is crucial when it comes
to meeting the requirements of a dynamic market.
“But we’re already thinking ahead. Industry 5.0 is shifting the focus back to people and enhancing interactions between humans and machines. And we’re right at the cutting edge here as well.”

Our WeldCube Navigator supports
welders with visual step-by-step instructions, preset welding parameters, and
intuitive operation directly from the welding torch. This reduces errors,
shortens training times, and takes the pressure off skilled workers, for
example when working with a wide variety of components—a key advantage given
the increasing shortage of trained welders.
Our
solutions create space for human creativity and experience while automating
routine tasks. Easy-to-operate cobots
complement human input and enable collaborative processes at the highest level
of quality. They perform repetitive welding tasks with consistent precision,
reducing human fatigue, errors, and rework.
Companies find that using cobots pays off in several respects. For one, these scalable solutions make it possible to maintain production capacities along with a high standard of quality. And with skilled workers in short supply, they lighten the load by taking on monotonous or strenuous tasks.

When
it comes to prototyping, modern simulation technology is a key aspect. One
great example is the Fronius Pathfinder
software, which simulates welding sequences on the digital twin of a
component without interrupting ongoing production. The software identifies axis
limits, calculates start and end points as well as paths, and independently
sets teach points. Errors and collisions can be identified in advance and
welding sequences optimized, saving time and money. There is also the option to
simulate material distortion as part of a feasibility study and create analyses
for the correct welding sequence.
“Fronius stands for excellence in welding—now and in the future. We listen carefully to what our customers need and develop solutions that are not only cutting edge, but also offer real added value in everyday life. From series production to plant construction, our WeldCube products and cobots combine the best of both worlds—machine-driven precision with human know-how. This is our shared vision for the future of welding—connected, intelligent, and human.”
