Fronius product quality
Exceeds all standards
Top quality
When it comes to reliability, sturdiness, and standards, you are not willing to compromise. You want welding systems that will remain faithfully by your side as you tackle the harsh day-to-day realities of welding work.
Look no further! Since time immemorial, we have been developing welding systems that do not just comply with all standards and requirements but actually exceed them. Our secret? In-house endurance tests that put our products and solutions through their paces time and time again while making them work longer and harder than in everyday life. No need to thank us, it’s just what we do.
Product quality tested 8 times over
Although trust is good, testing is better: all our welding systems undergo a precisely defined set of endurance tests. In fact, our products have to prove themselves eight times over before they are even allowed to leave our factories. We have made it our aim to test our products well beyond the limit values required under the relevant standards (IEC 60974-1/-3) – and ensure they pass!
Summary table of endurance tests
|
METHOD |
DESCRIPTION |
TEST OBJECTIVE |
FRONIUS QUALITY |
| Impact test | Hammer blows with an impact force of 10 Nm at defined positions | Housing must be impact-proof, particularly when used on construction sites | 3 points per side instead of 1 (as required by standard) |
| Metal dust test | A fan blows fine metal dust onto a system | Housing must remain impervious in dirty environments | Additional test (not required under standard) |
| Low temperature performance | Extreme fluctuations in temperature and humidity | System must be able to withstand harsh environments | Tested down to -40°C instead of -10°C (as required by standard) |
| Drop withstand | System dropped onto a hard surface from a defined height | Housing stability, breaking strength, and electrical safety | Tested from a height of 250 mm instead of 100 mm (as required by standard) |
| Salt spray test | System exposed to a highly saline spray mist for several days | System must be resistant to corrosion, particularly near the ocean | Additional test (not required under standard) |
| Moisture test | System sprayed with water | Protection of housing to ensure functional reliability and user safety | 43% more moisture than required for a period of 76 h (93% instead of 50%) |
| Vibration test | Extreme vibrations | System load capacity | Additional test (not required under standard) |
| AC duty cycle test | At higher frequencies up to 250 Hz and with a defined hosepack: Impedance (40–50 uH) instead of the required factory setting of 60 Hz |
