Working in a company while studying is a great thing. Being able to spend a day in another company that has a different focus or operates in a completely different sector or industry is ideal for individual development. At the end of the year, about 40 students from the "Staatliche Fachschule für Maschinenbautechnik" (state technical school for mechanical engineering) FS MB and the "Städtische Fachschule für Elektrotechnik" (city technical school for electrical engineering) FS ET in Aschaffenburg gained an insight into the world of welding – and were impressed by the ABICOR BINZEL Innovation and Technology Center ITC and the products that the company offers.

As if everyone had been waiting for this event: the world's leading trade fair SCHWEISSEN & SCHNEIDEN 2023 in Essen, which finally opened its doors again for an international audience from the specialist world of joining, cutting and coating technology. And ABICOR BINZEL was represented on the 1,200 m2 IBG Industrial Park booth together with the associated companies Thermacut, HERR and Cantesco.
With Easter approaching, ABICOR BINZEL thought: what can be a good deed? It should be something in the region. It should arrive where donations are greatly appreciated. Namely among the people who are dependent on support due to the high cost of living. The people who come to the food bank Tafel Gießen.
When is a company a future-oriented company? If it is innovative, has a clear digitisation strategy, pursues sustainability goals, practices modern management and focuses on the employees. Because ABICOR BINZEL fulfills all of these points, it can now call itself the »employer of the future«.
ABICOR BINZEL LASER SYSTEMS exhibited for the first time at the EALA "European Automotive Laser Applications" – with a new development on show.
It is the "brain" of the MFS-V3.1 wire feeding system from ABICOR BINZEL and has a history of almost 20 years: the eBOX. This is its story.
Being able to transport welding wires over long distances was already an incentive for the developers and technical engineers at Alexander Binzel Schweisstechnik GmbH & Co. KG. It all started with the ALUNOX from the company MIG WELD – a large green, housed wire feeding device for 40-kilo wire spools with built-in heating, primarily to be able to transport aluminum wires in GMAW applications. Because ABICOR BINZEL wanted to develop such a system itself, the Alu-Power-Drive – APD for short – was created. This wire feeding device was additionally equipped with a control system for two drives, one in the housing itself and one on the robot directly at the front of the process. At that time, Audi Neckarsulm wanted to use this system for the production of the Audi A2 and placed a large order for 30 APDs. These went to the automotive manufacturer together with a DALEX power source as a system solution.
The call for having to downsize this assembly came not long after. The extremely large rolling unit was taken apart, the motors were built as a separate unit, a housing for the electronics was designed and the control system was also separated from this large feeding device APD. The resulting modular design brought advantages for the users because they could assemble their own system depending on the application. And ABICOR BINZEL was no longer limited to only one specific group of users but could reach more different potential customers. This was the great start of the modular eBOX as a control unit in the Master-Feeder-System V2.
Baking a delicious cake, going on a bicycle tour together, experiencing a football match in the stadium with other fans, spending a sociable evening watching TV with friends or taking a great holiday trip by car, train or plane – all these wonderful events and experiences are made possible by extensive technology. Also through welding technology, such as from ABICOR BINZEL, which is present around the globe.
On October 25, 2022, the time has come: The international trade fair EuroBLECH opens its doors. Industry experts from the entire sheet metal process chain will present their extensive range of products and services until October 28th – and the specialists and technology developers for welding technology from ABICOR BINZEL will be there. The sister companies JESS Welding and Thermacut will also be on-site.
After a long time of online theory, finally live knowledge transfer again – that's what 10 students of the Production Engineering course at the University of Bremen thought and followed the invitation of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Emil Schubert to the ABICOR BINZEL headquarters in Buseck during their summer semester. The Technical Managing Director of ABICOR BINZEL, who is also known as WELDPROF, wanted to make welding technology, which has only been taught in theory up to now, tangible for the prospective specialists. The best thing about it: welding know-how was not only explained and demonstrated, but everyone was also challenged to weld themselves. For some, it was the first time they had held a welding torch in their hands.
Those who can train and develop their specialists and managerial staff of tomorrow in-house are actively securing the future of their company. Because the shortage of qualified staff is a serious problem. We are therefore all the more pleased that this year six new apprentices and one dual study programme participant are starting their professional future with ABICOR BINZEL.
