ABB and Fronius Join Forces to Advance the Era of Smart Welding

Global robotics leader ABB Robotics and renowned welding equipment company Fronius International have officially entered a global partnership to co-develop highly integrated robotic welding solutions and support both new and existing customers with cutting-edge technology. These innovative welding packages are designed to offer modular, cost-effective solutions that help companies easily start or upgrade their robotic welding systems. Furthermore, Fronius equipment will be featured at all certified ABB Robotics welding lab locations, allowing customers to conduct trials on the latest robotic welding equipment.

New Products to Deliver Cost-Effective Smart Welding Solutions

The two new products launched by ABB use Fronius technology. The first product, the ArcPack U2, is a modular

entry-level welding cell featuring the new ABB IRB 1520ID arc welding robot with Fronius equipment. It comes

with a twin table configuration ideal for small components. This welding cell can be offered as a complete welding

function package or as a fully integrated and affordable cell.

The second product is an EthernetIP™ integrated communications interface, enabling programming and operation

of Fronius power sources through ABB’s FlexPendant HMI. This interface simplifies the welding data control process,

allowing users to easily manage welding parameters via the FlexPendant. ABB’s FlexArc cells and welding packages

can also be equipped with this interface, greatly enhancing ease of use.

“ABB Robotics and Fronius have been collaborating closely for many years,” said Erwin DiMalanta, senior manager

at ABB Robotics. “This formal agreement brings together two global technology leaders in their respective fields, giving

welding customers more affordable access to leading-edge equipment and far more intuitive, user-friendly interfaces.”

Through this partnership, ABB and Fronius will continue to deliver innovative technology for welding industry customers

worldwide, making welding automation more accessible, efficient, and smarter.
