Boost productivity with Fronius Pathfinder

When using cobot welding cells, offline programming offers the advantage of creating and testing programs without having to stop ongoing production. This minimizes downtimes while boosting productivity. Finished programs can simply be transferred to the welding cell and adjusted directly on the cobot if needed.

Production continues uninterrupted thanks to offline programming
Up to 80% time savings when programming complex component geometries
Perfect integration with hardware and software from a single source

Features

Guide and press

Define welding paths easily and conveniently

Guide the welding torch to the start, contour, and end points of the desired welds, and press the confirmation button on the control handle. All points are automatically applied to the welding program.

Drag and drop

Intuitive programming of welding processes

Simply drag icons such as Handle Teach, Basic Arc, or Basic Wave into the desired position in the graphic programming interface. Using this method, you can define the entire welding process without any in-depth programming knowledge.

WeldConnect app

Welding parameters at the touch of a button

WeldConnect makes it quick and easy to find the right welding parameters. Step by step, the app asks you for information such as the welding process, base material, weld seam profile, and shielding gas. The wizard then uses this information to calculate the optimal welding parameters.
