Europe‘s largest laser<br />
centre<br />
The yard‘s new pre-production<br />
facilities include Europe‘s largest<br />
laser centre. Four large laser<br />
systems each with an output of<br />
12 kW form the heart of the new<br />
steel construction centre.<br />
Laser welding systems have been<br />
in use at MEYER WERFT since<br />
1994. In contrast to other industries,<br />
in shipbuilding very large<br />
steel parts are welded by laser.<br />
MEYER WERFT has developed a<br />
special method, so-called laser<br />
hybrid welding. The advantages<br />
of laser in steel construction<br />
include a higher speed, less distortion<br />
with reduced heat input,<br />
enhanced strength and thus far<br />
lower costs than in conventional<br />
steel processing.<br />
Made to measure: the fully automated panel line.<br />
The computerized plasma burner. The required steel parts are cut out of large sheets<br />
with the greatest precision, a process which is also very kind to the environment.
