The Doka Group is a world leader in formwork technology and operates more than 160 sales and logistics sites in more
than 70 countries. For more than 50 years, Doka has been producing high-quality formwork systems for the construc-
tion industry by establishing cutting-edge production processes and an independently certified quality management
system along the entire production chain.
“We first began using the TPS/i
Robotics power sources from
Fronius as a pilot customer, but
the exceptional results we
achieved meant we have stayed
ever since,”
Thomas Auer,
master welder at Doka.
REQUIREMENT
Welded components are rapidly growing in importance in the formwork in-
dustry. Choosing the appropriate welding technology is not only critical for
the quality of the products and the performance of the company, but it can
also deliver significant cost savings.
“By turning to the latest welding
technology from Fronius, we are
making another leap forward in
terms of system availability,
welding speed, weld seam
quality and flexibility,”
Thomas Auer,
master welder at Doka.
SolUTIoN
Doka has optimised its welding processes with technology from the Austrian in-
novation leader Fronius. By upgrading an existing robotic welding cell with a
Fronius TPS/i Robotics power source, Doka has been able to boost productivity
while enjoying even greater flexibility. System availability - including setup time
- has risen from 90 to 94 percent. The innovative arc length stabiliser of the TPS/i
Robotics in conjunction with the new PMC pulsed arc process increases welding
speed by up to 10 percent. In order to ensure that any collisions do not damage
the welding torch or cause long machine downtimes, Doka has fitted the magnet-
ic Fronius CrashBox. In the event of a collision, this breaks the magnetic connec-
tion to the workpiece, protects against mechanical damage and also ensures high
levels of machine availability.
/ Perfect Welding / Solar Energy / Perfect Charging
WE HAVE THREE DIVISIONS AND ONE PASSION: SHIFTING THE LIMITS OF POSSIBILITY.
/ Whether welding technology, photovoltaics or battery charging technology − our goal is clearly defined: to be the innovation leader. With around
3,700 employees worldwide, we shift the limits of what’s possible - our record of over 800 granted patents is testimony to this. While others progress
step by step, we innovate in leaps and bounds. Just as we’ve always done. The responsible use of our resources forms the basis of our corporate policy.
