“Thanks to Fronius, we can switch flexibly between the different welding processes at the touch of a button. This flexibility—in particular the savings in working time and space requirements—is greatly beneficial to us. All Fronius welding machines stand out due their exceptional service life and stability, and especially noteworthy is the availability of spare parts for many years, which ensures that we can continue to rely on the devices in the long term. That’s why they are so popular with us.”
The challenge at ALLUCAN
The production of lightweight aluminum components, such as transformer enclosures and special housings primarily used in high-performance locomotives and high-speed trains, is subject to strict quality standards and high safety requirements. This demands precisely placed welds with consistent geometries and layer build-ups. Up to 20 or more weld layers have to be produced, depending on the material thickness.
The solution: versatile multiprocess welding machine
For the additive build-up process, ALLUCAN AG chose the iWave AC/DC Pro 500i multiprocess welding machine—a versatile device that takes care of every process. Advanced technologies such as CycleTIG enable precise control of the heat input and guarantee unbeatable control over the arc. The RPI auto intelligent ignition function ensures fast and reproducible ignitions regardless of the material properties, without the need to manually adjust the ignition parameters. The welding packages Standard, Pulse, PMC (Pulse Multi Control), LSC (Low Spatter Control), and CMT (Cold Metal Transfer) are available to satisfy the various welding requirements.
