10 | title welding nology. Today, we can control the welding process much faster and thus guide the fusion of materials more accurately.” And it is exactly these developments that have been instrumental in significantly boosting productivity at various companies. “The welding process can be calibrated even more precisely to material requirements, plate thicknesses and component characteristics,” says Szczesny-Oßing. For example, the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM has attained a higher level of automation using a similarly calibrated welding method from the equipment manufacturer Fronius. The process is optimal for
those sections of the motorcycle frame in which accuracy is key. KTM profits from 20 per cent higher productivity and better process reliability – as well as from one other desirable side effect. The controlled process makes surfaces more optically appealing; less metal finishing is required, which leads to a reduction in Foto: VISUM FOTO GmbH The Meyer shipyard is one of the pioneers of laser hybrid welding. In a new, 80 million euros dry dock, welding seams up to 30 m long will be realised from 2010 onwards. Foto: EWM costs. Cost-efficient beauty – what more could you ask for? Vision on the world’s oceans Previously unthinkable synergy effects are also offered by hybrid solutions, including the laser hybrid welding method. Combining laser-welding technology (the laser is the energy source that fuses the material) with conventional gas-shielded arc welding results in attributes that are normally mutually exclusive. As fast as a laser; as good and reliable as arc welding – impossible! Or is it? Fifteen years ago, the Meyer shipyard in Papenburg began modernising its cruise ship production technology. Today, luxury liners of the AIDA fleet are worldclass technology leaders. One major factor here is that the Meyer shipyard pioneered welding technology that was once considered unconventional in the shipbuilding industry. A new production hall has been built for the laser hybrid procedure.
