I-Core: a product of MEYER<br />
WERFT!<br />
What is I-CORE?<br />
I-core panels are laser-welded<br />
sandwich panels. The name<br />
“I-core” and the logo are derived<br />
from the cross-section of the<br />
panels with a flat steel core.<br />
I-core is a product developed by<br />
MEYER WERFT resulting from<br />
many years of experience in laser<br />
welding, material technology<br />
and production engineering. The<br />
panels consist of two thin cover<br />
plates with vertical webs set<br />
between, connected by an innovative<br />
laser welding process.<br />
Manufacturing process<br />
I-core panels are produced in adjacent<br />
laser systems. The webs are<br />
placed in a clamping device on<br />
the laser welding machine. One<br />
of the cover plates is now placed<br />
on the webs and the laser beam<br />
welds through the cover plate<br />
into the webs. Once all webs<br />
are welded to the first cover<br />
plate, the half panel is turned.<br />
The second cover plate is positioned,<br />
the welding procedure<br />
is repeated, and the result is an<br />
extremely stiff and smooth I-core<br />
panel.<br />
I-core panels are produced by<br />
laser welding.
