Under the motto “Powerful Connections for Strong Performances”, Cloos will be presenting pioneering technologies for arc welding at Schweissen & Schneiden. The focus will be on the world premiere of the new MIG/MAG welding process Tandem+, innovative robot systems, digital solutions and the complete portfolio of Qineo welding machines.

“We invented tandem welding 30 years ago. With Tandem+, a new chapter in MIG/MAG welding technology is now beginning,” explains Stephan Pittner, CEO of the Cloos Group. “We are combining maximum deposition rate with maximum efficiency and thus creating new standards for our customers worldwide.”
During the live demonstration in a fully automated robot cell, visitors can experience first-hand how the innovative three-wire process works in practice. According to Cloos, Tandem+ raises the deposition rate “to a completely new level” – with a reduced number of welding layers and shorter welding times. This makes the process ideal for large-volume welding work in industries such as rail vehicle construction, wind power and steel construction.
Automated welding: flexible, scalable, efficient
Cloos will also be exhibiting a compact standard robot system that demonstrates various welding processes and components in a modular design. This cell illustrates how Cloos technology can be flexibly scaled and integrated into a wide range of production environments – from single part production to series production.
Another highlight is the ArcBoT cobot solution, which is ideal for small quantities, varying component geometries and flexible production environments. Among other things, it uses the MoTion Weld welding process: a low-energy, low-spatter short arc with reversing wire, specially developed for the thin sheet metal sector.

Technology for every requirement
With the Qineo series, Cloos offers a powerful platform for all modern welding processes – from entry-level solutions to high-end power sources. The devices stand for quality “Made in Germany” and combine industrial efficiency with intuitive operability.
Qineo StarT is the robust entry-level model for manual MIG/MAG welding. It impresses with easy handling, solid technology and an attractive price-performance ratio. Qineo NexT is the versatile high-tech welding power source that covers a wide range of welding processes and is suitable for both manual and automated welding.
Thanks to high-quality inverter technology, the NexT offers special arc characteristics, high process reliability and a long service life. Qineo QuesT is Cloos’ high-end solution for demanding TIG welding. It offers maximum precision, excellent ignition characteristics and sensitive control behavior.
All Qineo devices have a consistently modular design and can be flexibly adapted to new requirements – whether by retrofitting, replacing components or integrating them into digital production environments. OPC UA interfaces for Industry 4.0 applications are available as an option.
Burner-integrated flue gas extraction: also for tandem applications
Cloos will also be presenting the torch-integrated fume extraction system at the trade fair. Here, extraction takes place directly at the welding torch and reduces the fume load directly at the point of origin – for greater occupational safety and clean production conditions. The technology is available for both manual and automated applications and can be flexibly integrated into existing systems. This solution is now also available for tandem applications. With this extension, Cloos now offers an effective solution for health protection in production, even at the highest melting rates.
Digital solutions
With C-Gate, Cloos presents a powerful IoT system that records, analyses and visualizes all relevant data from welding production in real time. This allows processes to be monitored, optimized and documented transparently – a decisive step towards the smart factory. C-Gate supports users in sustainably increasing the quality, productivity and availability of their welding systems.
Qnect is more than just an interface – it is Cloos’ central digital platform for accessing digital products, services and connectivity solutions. Cloos welding machines and systems can be seamlessly integrated into existing IT and production environments via Qnect – including standardized interfaces, role-based administration and modular expandability.
Welding technology meets the fitness industry
The cooperation with the fitness equipment manufacturer Gym80, which has relied on Cloos welding technology for decades, offers a special trade fair experience. The exhibited equipment is welded using Cloos robots and can be tried out at the trade fair – a practical example of quality, precision and efficiency in industrial production.
