Introducing the FX 3

In the natural resources and shipbuilding industries, high-quality welding, bolting, and clamping are crucial. However, skilled labor is in high demand, affecting project cost and delivery time. To address this, Hilti North America has developed the FX 3-A Cordless stud fusion system, revolutionizing fastening on steel.

The FX 3-A Cordless stud fusion system significantly reduces welding time. It can handle higher loads and thinner base materials compared to previous Hilti products. This cordless stud fusion method is up to 75% faster than traditional welding, and it is fully mobile and autonomous with no power cables required.

Not only is this method faster, but it is also safer. It shields users from heat and gas, with minimal sparks, splatters, fumes, and no need for an angle grinder for surface preparation. From a health and safety perspective, it offers significant advantages.

Compared to welding, bolting, and clamping, cordless stud fusion allows for more speed and flexibility in engineering, procurement, and construction. Fastenings are repeatable and consistent, resulting in more reliable loads and more design flexibility. When combined with modular systems like Hilti’s MT or Oglaend portfolios, this method enables greater use of supports with stronger connections to steel.

Procurement can choose from a wide range of studs with international approvals and corrosion resistance. This not only speeds up construction but also reduces the risk of installation error. The FX 3-A system provides customers with more flexibility, a cleaner system without unwanted waste, and higher-quality and consistent results.

Overall, the FX 3-A Cordless stud fusion system is a game-changer, saving time and resources while increasing reliability and safety. It allows skilled labor to focus on more complex tasks without compromising on the fastening step of construction. For more information about cordless stud fusion, visit the Hilti website.
