There seems to be a misunderstanding that technology is complex. It’s in truth anything but complex, we're about simplicity, less is more so to speak. In order to achieve that simplicity one has to make use of cutting edge technologies. It’s the high levels of precision in our design and manufacturing process that makes our pie solutions work, particularly in our cold blocking system. In any welding process, the high level of focused heat required upsets the molecular structure for any materials welded, upsetting this molecular structure will create a great deal of stress and distortion particularly in stainless steels. It is this distortion that makes welded assemblies very difficult to manufacture precisely without the addition of other costly processes like machining and the inclusion/allowance of such processes in design and development etc. In order for us to achieve the high degree of precision in all fabricated assemblies we have to weld as cold as possible, upsetting the molecular structures of the welded metals as little as possible. Simply, to achieve weld strength in all welds we need to keep weld inter-pass temperature as low as possible (The inter-pass temperature, defined as base-material temperature when welding is to be performed between the first and last weld passes). To control the mechanical and micro-structural properties of weldments, inter-pass temperature is critical. Yield and ultimate tensile strengths of the weld metal depend greatly on inter-pass temperature.

The Digital Revolution
To see the benefits of the digital revolution in welding technology, let’s try listening first: to some music. Why? Simple: Not so very long ago, the good old vinyl record was the most important medium. The only problem was that it soon reached its limits in terms of quality. The more frequently it was played, the more the sound quality deteriorated.
With digital technology, music remains music no matter how often a song is played. The quality remains the same.
The same applies to Fronius digital welding technology: 100 % reproducible welding results. Again and again. As often as you want. The basis for this is the highest possible precision in the welding process. And it’s completely digitally controlled.
TIG Welding
The TIG welding process provides optimum conditions for obtaining the best welding result possible. This is why it is the only welding method we use in the construction of all our machines.
We say our pie machines are technologically advanced not only because we use the best welding technology, but because we have also perfected our processes to match that technology. We use the most modern and advanced materials in critical aspects of our designs providing the desired longevity between all working components. Technologically advanced alloys are key in our welding processes; this enables our designs to be strong yet light and our machines to be compact yet rugged.
Precision in manufacturing is further achieved by innovative design and the most advanced manufacturing methods available. Our designs are extensively tried and tested using digital technologies with as high a safety factor as possible. All components are either laser cut or water jet cut on CNC's and the bending of all components are precise to the highest possible tolerances using CNC technology. High component tolerances are only achievable due to the way we design them.
Pneumatics
Additionally we only use the worlds leading brands in pneumatic components, brands with proven reliability and rugged in design.
We are constantly striving to innovate where required in all aspects of what we do. Technology and method allow us to create small; high production equipment and pie machines that last, and sell them for prices affordable to all which otherwise would not be possible.
