The Way toAutomate
from the specialist for welding technology.
From the mechanised solution The requirements on a fully mechanised welding solution are
high: it needs to be exible, fast to retool, easy to operate and,
at the same time, be pro table right from the start even
for small batch quantities!
Nothing could be easier. There is no reason to remain sitting
on the fence.
Automate Now! Because Lorch System Integration (LSI)
developed The Way to Automate, a comprehensive modu-
lar automation system that certainly represents the most
cost-effective solution for your welding task. In principal, all
automation components making up the system such as con-
trol device, turntables and power sources can be combined
with ease and without much effort thanks to the fully-digital
LorchNet interface. Consequently, integrating all of the com-
ponents used as part of this approach requires no tinkering
whatsoever, allowing you to accomplish your welding task
with no dif culty.

to welding with robots.The rst thing that comes to mind when you think of
automation is, of course, robot welding. A robot is certainly
the rst choice when a complex joint has to be welded repeat-
edly or large quantities of a workpiece must be produced.
Lorchs Ready-to-Robot approach makes it a cinch to get
started. The system allows you to use brand-name robots
made by, for instance, Fanuc, Motoman or Kuka and complete
your welding task without much need to coordinate different
solutions. Moreover, Lorchs components can, in principle,
also be used with a large variety of different robot systems.
This effortless combination is made possible by the LorchNet
connectors, Lorchs bus coupling system and the support of
all common bus protocols from CANopen to Pro Net.
Boost your welding productivity automatically.
That is the mission of Ready-to-Robot.

Welding know-how Optimum welding ef ciency can only be achieved if you
apply welding processes that make the most of every
weld seam. Lorch managed to speed up welding and
now allows you to achieve new levels of productivity.
Regardless of whether you apply MIG-MAG speed pro-
cesses, TIG or
TIG with cold
or hot wire.
Control technologyWhenever development and programing of process-
oriented control technology is required, control compo-
nents that can be combined to individual needs come
in place. No matter whether these components are
integrated pneumatic torch positioners or the clear-
text touchscreen control of the overall system solution.

TIG TIG + Cold Wire TIG + Hot Wire
Welding that satis es the most challenging demands.When it comes to welding processes that need to guarantee
integrity, food safety or ne visual appearance in stainless
steel or aluminum, nothing can hold a candle to TIG. Regard-
less of whether it is used for mobile or industrial production
applications. Quality made by Lorch will always pay off.
Perfect cold-wire feeding is required when more than
normal deposition rates are the task in automated TIG weld-
ing in order to bridge gaps and compensate for material toler-
ances. Our TIG solutions involve the use of the LorchFeed
system, either as part of the modular automation system or
as a special robot wire feeder, which produces superior TIG
quality thanks to the absolute precision with which it oper-
ates. Considerations of how to make TIG welding even more
ef cient led to the development of the so-called TIG hot wire
process. This special process,
which entails the preheating
of the ller metal by means
of resistance heating, takes
TIG welding to the next level
when it comes to speeding
up your welding application.

We focus the right types of expertise.
Bare your teeth to the ravages of time.Size does not always matter.
Yesterdays survival strategies will not be effective in the
future. What matters is exibility and adaptability as well
as the application of automation in areas where it is the
most sensible and pro table solution. The trick is to show
good judgement and pick the right solution.
Automation is supposed to help you achieve the best pos-
sible results and maximum economic ef ciency. To make
the success of these results last for as long as possible,
you should also be in a position to react to the ever chang-
ing conditions on the market and expand or adjust your
existing system whenever necessary.
Lorch System Integration makes it possible.
