Welding solutions for Yellow Goods

Challenge

Long weld seams, several weld layers and a high deposition rate - at a high welding speeds

Joining heavy components in the Yellow Goods industry represents a particular challenge. Huge components and extremely thick materials are an everyday occurrence – take, for example, a one-and-a-half-meter long heavyduty axle made from steel up to 50 millimeters thick.

The weld seams must withstand high forces and meet stringent quality criteria. The weld seam appearance also plays an important role. Compared to other welding sectors, greater component tolerances and gap-bridging ability are required in the Yellow Goods sector.

Telescopic handlers are predominantly used in the construction and agricultural industry. Depending on the design, the construction machine must be able to bear loads of up to 30,000 kg. The weld seams must also be able to withstand this weight, which is why the quality of the welded joints is of utmost importance.

Construction machinery is made from up to 90 percent steel: Fronius welding systems are ideally suited to steel construction requirements. In the field of manual welding in particular, devices in the TPS/i Steel Edition or TransSteel series offer the ideal solution for all steel applications. Special characteristics packages increase productivity and enable reproducible welding results. More about steel welding
