Altrex International
Most innovative welding line in Europe
Watch with us! This is how we built the welding line of the future
The future is here. Our new welding line is a fact! And therefore, Altrex has a piece of tomorrow's technology, today. Where it began with the move of the old robot eighteen months ago, we now have 75 meters of innovation and technical ingenuity, in full motion.
Flawless welding, more flexibility and a faultless flow. This is what we had in mind when we decided to renew our welding line, or to be more precise: to completely replace it. After building for one and a half years in three intensive phases, we now have the most flexible and accurate welding line. A process to look back on with pride.
Progress at every level
At Altrex, we always look ahead. However, when we realize something as innovative as our new welding line, it definitely deserves looking back. If only because of the great change that has taken place in such a relatively short time. Our new production line provides a clear progress at every level.
As many as six intelligent, high-tech welding robots flawlessly find their way across the 75-meter-long welding line. Controlled by a central system and by themselves, they are able to weld faultlessly and seamlessly, to the hundredth of a millimetre. More quality, more customization and more safety. Which means more Altrex.
The strongest welds
From now on every welding job will be even stronger and more reliable. The robots weld with CMT Advanced by Fronius, an innovative technique that makes it possible to weld very thin materials (from 0.3 mm). This provides the cleanest and strongest weld. We also created a link between the welding line and our ERP system. This enables our planners to determine the sequence of orders, in advance. We are therefore even more capable of responding to the demands and needs of our clients.
Look behind the scenes with us
We can tell you so much more about the many new features. And about what has changed on our production floor in the last year and a half. We have brought these changes into the picture, so that you can see first-hand how Altrex has been building towards the welding line of the future.
See the whole proces
We want to take you along the proces of this big project. In our blogs you can read everything about the innovative techniques, the people who are behind the welding line and the products which define us.
Technologies
Read everything about the state of the art techniques with which our new welding line is equipped. For example, you can read all about our newest welding technique: CMT advanced., the precision of our welding robots or the automatic calibration.
The future is here. Our new welding line is a fact! And therefore, Altrex has a piece of tomorrow's technology, today.
Accuracy is involved whenever one considers welding. Down to the thousandth millimetre for each and every welding job. Our production process is thus meant for continuity that we permanently monitor.
The knowledge and experience of our welding professional guarantees high-quality welding jobs. The high-tech robots in our new welding line ensure continuity, precision and outstanding accuracy.
‘Technology never stands still’. We emphasise this statement at Altrex. CMT welding has already been the means of making the strongest bonds. The future demands CMT Advanced.
The future requires new solutions. That is why we focus on smart ideas and effective innovations. With our welding line, we are taking a huge step forward. We are taking the chain into a period of sustained movement.
25 metres finished, on to stage 2: the next 25 metres of innovation. Are you wondering how this looks in 60 seconds? Check out the time lapse!
Do you want to know all about the most innovative welding line? The welding line is 75 meters long and has five welding robots. But how do you build such a welding line?
Quality, flexibility and custom-made products. These are the three main pillars of our production process which provide a strong incentive to innovate continuously. Our new robotic welding line is a perfect example of Smart Industry.
We have reached a milestone with the construction of our new welding line. The last welding robot has been installed and now the construction of the 75-meter-long welding line is ready. Yet there are still many things to do!
People
A lot of people are involved in a large project like this. We give them a chance to speak about it, hear about their insights, the challenges and the process of building the welding line.
Roel Doornebosch, general manager of Rodemach Speciaalmachines, gives us an exclusive look at the process, challenges and special features of our welding line. Key to success? An intensive collaboration.
Accuracy and precision represents the basis of a successful welding job. The robots in our new welding line are therefore built to weld to a hundredth of a millimetre. Project coordinator Thijs Veldhuis knows all about it.
The building of phase 1 of the new welding line is in full progress. How is it going so far? Are there any challenges? When do we start phase? Gerko Arends, Operations Manager at Altrex will tell you all about it.
Products
Last but not least, the products. The final product of our welding line. With our new welding line we are capable to do our welding not only faster, but even safer and with more precision. It means that our Altrex products are even safer and faster available!
At Altrex, we see innovations as doors to the future. Our new welding line is such an innovation. And everyone benefits from that. Take Pop-Up, partner and also scaffolding specialist on the other side of the English Channel.
The possibilities of our new welding line are as diverse as the requirements of our customers. One of the key reasons for innovating our product line: being able to offer an access solution for any demand or requirement.
Altrex builds for the future. Which is why we have opted for tomorrow’s technology. It has now also become a part of our production line. We are making an innovative and technical leap with an entirely new welding line.
