ABB Robotics and Fronius to Develop Welding Packages



ABB Robotics and Fronius International have entered a global agreement to collaboratively develop fully equipped robotic welding packages and support both new and existing customers with advanced technology. The welding packages will be especially designed to provide modular, cost-effective solutions for companies to more easily initiate or upgrade a robotic welding system. Fronius equipment will be featured at all certified ABB Robotics welding lab locations allowing customers to conduct robotic welding trials on the latest, most innovation robotic welding equipment available, according to the company.

ABB is featuring two new offerings using Fronius technology. The first, the ArcPack U2 featuring the ABB IRB 1520ID dedicated arc welding robot with Fronius equipment, is a modular, entry-level welding cell with two fixed stations. The standard twin table configuration is for small components and can be provided as either a complete welding function package or a fully integrated cell. The second product is an EthernetIP integrated communications interface for programming and operating Fronius power sources on the ABB FlexPendant, ABB's intuitive HMI. This single point of programming will allow weld data to be controlled by the FlexPendant through the interface. ABB FlexArc cells and welding packages can be equipped with the ABB-Fronius EthernetIP interface option.

ABB will continue to provide integrated welding solutions with other major suppliers of welding equipment.
