SHIPYARD FACILITIES<br />
The largest laser centre in Europe<br />
<strong>Meyer</strong> <strong>Werft</strong><br />
With the MEYER WERFT Laserzentrum, the shipyard has established the<br />
largest laser centre in Europe. Six large laser facilities with a capacity of<br />
12kW each constitute the centrepiece of the new steel construction centre.<br />
Laser welding has been used at MEYER WERFT since 1994.<br />
MEYER WERFT developed a special process, the<br />
so-called “laser-hybrid” welding. The benefits of<br />
using a laser in steel construction are higher speed,<br />
less warping due to limited exposure to heat,<br />
improved strength and the associated considerably<br />
lower costs in comparison to traditional welding<br />
techniques.
