Welding solutions for Yellow Goods

Challenge

Long weld seams, several weld layers and a high deposition rate - at a high welding speeds

Joining heavy components in the Yellow Goods industry represents a particular challenge. Huge components and extremely thick materials are an everyday occurrence – take, for example, a one-and-a-half-meter long heavyduty axle made from steel up to 50 millimeters thick.

The weld seams must withstand high forces and meet stringent quality criteria. The weld seam appearance also plays an important role. Compared to other welding sectors, greater component tolerances and gap-bridging ability are required in the Yellow Goods sector.

Telescopic handlers are predominantly used in the construction and agricultural industry. Depending on the design, the construction machine must be able to bear loads of up to 30,000 kg. The weld seams must also be able to withstand this weight, which is why the quality of the welded joints is of utmost importance.

Productivity and safety solutions

TPS 600i High Deposition Welding: Using a Fronius TPS 600i, experience easy handling while welding on heavy components with a conventional single wire configuration. Maximum deposition is obtained using dedicated Fronius waveform technology, achieving up to 20 pounds per hour of weld metal deposition with a 100% duty cycle.

FumeEx: Improved safety and comfort by capturing welding fumes right at the source. See the Fronius FumeEx fume extraction system in action. This system mounts directly to the welding torch and is available for both manual and robotic applications.

Let´s get connected!

Construction machinery is made from up to 90 percent steel: Fronius welding systems are ideally suited to steel construction requirements. In the field of manual welding in particular, devices in the TPS/i Steel Edition or TransSteel series offer the ideal solution for all steel applications. Special characteristics packages increase productivity and enable reproducible welding results. More about steel welding
