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.
In times of a shortage of qualified staff, forward-looking companies are aware of the importance of investing in the training of new employees. That's why ABICOR BINZEL has taken on seven new apprentices and a one-year trainee this year, who are laying the foundation for their professional future with us.
Whether at the desk or at the machine – people often tend to move too little or adopt an unhealthy position. If this lack of exercise continues at home, the consequences can be serious. In order to counteract this negative spiral, ABICOR BINZEL regularly organises a health day as part of its company health management.
48,058 eight-graders from 511 schools took part in the Hesse mathematics competition 2022/23. The six best in each school type were honoured at an awards ceremony held last Friday by Hesse’s Minister of Education Prof. Dr. Ralph Alexander Lorz and HESSENMETALL Verband der Metall- und Elektrounternehmen e. V. at our headquarters in Buseck.
ABICOR BINZEL recently set an important milestone as a global leader in welding technology with the opening of a new subsidiary in Kénitra: ABICOR BINZEL Maghreb. The opening event was a great event, attended by distinguished guests such as the mayor of Kénitra, representatives of the German embassy, the GIZ (Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit), the Bank of Africa as well as the Chamber of Commerce and companies from the welding industry. Colleagues from ABICOR BINZEL headquarters and from France also participated in the event, underlining the company's commitment to its international presence.
As ABICOR BINZEL has subsidiaries all over the world, many of our colleagues, partners and customers celebrate Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. Our colleagues from our latest established subsidiary ABICOR BINZEL Maghreb share some general information and their very personal meaning of Ramadan with us.
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.
