Fronius CMT Advanced Review: Specs, Price and Applications
Updated: 2 days ago
The Fronius CMT Advanced is a robotic welding product, listed from USD 28,000. This review covers its full specifications, design, integration, applications and price, so you can decide whether it fits your automation project.
Quick Verdict
Fronius CMT Advanced is a Cold Metal Transfer welding process that adds polarity reversal of the welding current to the reversing wire motion of CMT. The polarity changes during the short-circuit phase, which gives precise control of the thermal input into the workpiece. The deposition rate is up to 60% higher than with standard CMT, and gap bridging on 2 mm aluminium sheet increases from 1 mm to 2.5 mm compared with pulsed-arc welding. CMT Advanced Pulse combines negatively poled CMT cycles with positively poled pulse cycles. In a robotic welding cell the process is used for thin sheet joining and for cladding, where dilution is up to 50% lower. It is listed from USD 28,000.
