Increasing energy efficiency for welding

摘要

Engineers and industrial planners agree that energy efficiency is critical for industrial progress. Among welding operators, energy efficiency goes well beyond the electrical characteristics of the process: it has come to include the manufacturing process as a whole. This is particularly relevant to upstream and downstream work processes. To be as energy-efficient as possible, welding processes must reduce spatter, achieve high weld speed, and significantly improve gap "bridgeability," while offering controllable heat input. Fronius (www.fronius.com) provides three intelligent and practical solutions — cold metal transfer (CMT), LaserHy-brid, and DeltaSpot, the spot welding process — that improve efficiency and offer a quick return on investment.
