PROTECH Sp. Z O.O. Automated production transforms a small-scale enterprise into a modern, mid-sized company

PROTECH found its requirements satisfied by the extensive product portfolio of Fronius. The Polish metal fabricator therefore decided to convert its entire machine park over to Fronius welding technology. A diverse range of systems has been used ever since:

• For some of its robotic welding stations, PROTECH opted for the TPS 500i. These systems are also equipped with the PMC welding package (Pulse Multi Control), which enables PROTECH to achieve ideal penetration – particularly in complex constructions with sometimes difficult-to-access welds in a wide variety of positions. High levels of welding productivity are also guaranteed
• PROTECH uses the double head TPS 400i system for manual welding in container construction, an area where combined black-white joints (steel and stainless steel) occur very frequently. With both wirefeeders in one machine, it’s a simple matter for the welders to switch between the filler metals as required – without having to revert to a second power source
• To achieve the highest levels of efficiency in terms of welding speed, together with the required high weld volumes, PROTECH also deploys the high-tech LaserHybrid robotic welding system. This technology is at present mainly used in the automotive sector – for example, in the manufacture of aluminum battery trays. The Polish metal fabricator uses LaserHybrid for exceptionally long welds in container construction. The process has proven to be extremely efficient, as it is also able to perform full penetration welding of thick sheets in a single layer. High welding speeds are guaranteed.
• If it’s just a case of straightforward assembly work, the compact TransSteel 2200c is the system of choice in many cases, as the handy multiprocess device prepares the welders for any eventuality on the construction site.
