Fronius Pathfinder
We create your digital twin
Your Fronius welding system's digital twin
Your solution for the offline programming of Fronius robot welding systems
Pathfinder saves you valuable time and reduces costs, because teaching the robot directly on the system takes significantly longer. Welding jobs can be created offline without interrupting ongoing processes, enabling the efficient use of resources.
Experience the efficiency and precision of Pathfinder and optimize your welding processes!

Range of functions
Intelligent functions simplify robot programming
CAD import
Component data can be imported directly as a 3D CAD model. The software supports the most common file formats.
Auto Seam—Intelligent weld seam searches with automatic interference contour detection
Auto Seam combines powerful functions for precise and efficient robot programming. The automatic weld seam detection feature reliably identifies seam profiles, while the integrated multi-layer welding management function guarantees consistently high quality in every weld layer. Path-Check checks axis limits and singularities to ensure safe and optimized movement paths.
The system also automatically detects interfering contours and axis movement restrictions. The welding torch position can be easily corrected and adjusted thanks to visual support—for unbeatable process reliability and efficiency.
Efficiency through path cloning and realistic process simulation
With path cloning, welding paths can be readily copied and mirrored for symmetrical components, saving time and significantly reducing the programming work required. Furthermore, the realistic sequence simulation enables precise analysis of the robot program. Cycle times can be determined and process options specifically optimized, which ensures efficient and dependable production planning.
Our Fronius Pathfinder package
This comprehensive package contains everything you need for a smooth start with Pathfinder with complete peace of mind.
Digital twin
A precise 3D model of your welding system is created in the simulation environment.
Calibration
The entire real system is measured and compared with the digital model, creating a perfectly synchronized working environment between the virtual and real models.
Training & service
To give you the best possible start, we offer you personalized user training. During these training sessions, you’ll be fully familiarized with the system and receive the best possible support. The software functionality is checked and calibrated with a test weld.
Software license
Our Fronius Pathfinder is supplied as a server solution with floating license.
