FRONIUS high speed cladding solution offers

maximum productivity.
/ Cladding is a process in which mechanized overlay welding is used to coat components
with corrosion-resistant and hard-wearing alloys to extend their service life many times
over. SpeedClad Twin combines user-optimized high performance architecture – cladding
systems and components – with the fastest cladding process ever. Offering excellent clad-
ding results in a remarkably short time, this equipment will set Fronius users apart from
their competition and save substantially on labor and shielding gas costs.
