FFTweldtec Basic

C, X and XL welding gun for steel alloys

Our welding tools for industrial joining technology can be customised for assemblies such as motors and transformers. We offer three different welding guns, which differ in welding force and weight.

FFTweldtec Advanced C-Gun

Welding gun for aluminium alloy

The FFTweldtec Advanced C-Gun is a robot welding gun series for aluminium welding. It is not only used in the automotive industry.

FFTweldtec TipChanger

Electrode cap change on robot-guided welding guns

The FFTweldtec TipChanger enables automatic, space-saving changing of electrode caps on robotic welding guns. Inductive sensors monitor the fill level in the magazine. Loosened caps fall into a catch basket.

FFTweldtec Mobile TipChanger

Changing electrode caps on stationary welding guns

The Mobile TipChanger enables fast, automatic change of electrode caps on welding guns. Compact and lightweight, it can be easily mounted on the robot arm. Level sensors monitor the cap level.

FFTweldtec VarioPicker® EVO

Material-locking hemming fixation

These fixing points, which are set with the VarioPicker® EVO, are used to connect the outer skin to the support structure. The fixing points are created with a material bond, eliminating the need for gelling after hemming.

FFTweldtec Engineering Service

Welding technology construction service

We offer you the design and development of WPS gun base bodies and special welding machines, 3D construction (CATIA V5, UG), FEM calculation, creation of measurement and test protocols as well as data handling in the customer system.

 

FFTweldtec Test Station

Test Station for welding guns

The FFTweldtec Test Station tests servo-pneumatic and servo-motorised robotic welding guns with the necessary systems, including reporting.

FFTweldtec Measuring Station

Measuring Station for welding guns

Professional calibration of servo-pneumatic and servo-motorised robot welding guns, including determination of the deflection of the electrode arm geometry using 3D measuring systems and logging.

FFTweldtec Inline Projection Welding Machine

Projection welding machine within production

The projection welding machine within the production line automatically welds various components, reduces manual intervention and enables precise positioning. It is controlled with a cycle time of 6-7 seconds via PLC or independently.
