And therefore, Altrex has a piece of tomorrow’s technology, The strongest welds today. Where it began with the move of the old robot From now on every welding job will be even stronger and eighteen months ago, we now have 75 meters of innova- more reliable. The robots weld with CMT Advanced by tion and technical ingenuity, in full motion. Fronius, an innovative technique that makes it possible to weld very thin materials (from 0.3 mm). This provides Flawless welding, more flexibility and a faultless flow. This the cleanest and strongest weld. We also created a link is what we had in mind when we decided to renew our between the welding line and our ERP system. This enables welding line, or to be more precise: to completely replace our planners to determine the sequence of orders, in ad- it. After building for one and a half years in three intensive vance.

Progress at every level At Altrex, we always look ahead. However, when we realize something as innovative as our new welding line, it defi- nitely 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 flaw- lessly 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.
