Welding technology for precise, high-quality metal joints
Modern welding processes for prototypes and series production
Welding is a central component of modern manufacturing processes and enables the permanent joining of metal components that must meet high standards of strength, leak-tightness and dimensional accuracy. By employing a variety of welding processes, components can be manufactured to suit specific materials and requirements – from individual parts through to series production. Welding is part of our day-to-day business. With over 20 years’ experience in welding, we are familiar with all welding processes and ideally prepared for every application.
Our welding processes are certified to DIN EN ISO 3834-2 and thus meet the high quality requirements for welding manufacturing processes.

Welding of different materials
We process and weld a wide variety of materials in accordance with the relevant technical requirements and areas of application. Through the use of tailored welding processes and our extensive knowledge of materials, we are able to manufacture both thin-walled and high-load components with precision. We therefore process all materials that are considered weldable in materials engineering.

TIG- Welding
TIG welding is one of the most precise welding processes and is particularly suitable for high-quality welded joints where there are stringent requirements regarding quality, dimensional accuracy and appearance. The controlled heat input results in clean and uniform welds with minimal spatter.
The process is used in particular for thin-walled components, complex pipe systems and demanding materials such as stainless steel, titanium or Inconel. Thanks to the high level of process control, TIG welding is ideally suited to sensitive and technically demanding applications.

MIG/MAG welding
MIG/MAG welding is a cost-effective and versatile welding process suitable for a wide range of material thicknesses and component geometries. Thanks to continuous wire feed and high welding speeds, the process is particularly well-suited to efficient manufacturing processes and mass production applications.
The process enables stable and reproducible welding results whilst maintaining high cost-effectiveness. Depending on the material and requirements, different shielding gases can be used, allowing the process to be flexibly adapted to various applications.

Manual laser welding
Manual laser welding combines high precision with flexible handling, enabling the processing of complex and delicate components. The focused laser beam produces a very precise heat input, significantly reducing material distortion and thermal stresses.
The process is particularly suitable for fine welding work, hard-to-reach areas and visually demanding components. At the same time, thin-walled components can be welded to a high standard with minimal post-processing.

Laser welding with a laser system
Automated laser welding using a laser system enables welding processes to be carried out with high precision and reproducibility. Thanks to automated motion sequences and precisely defined process parameters, the process is ideally suited to series production and complex component geometries.
The concentrated laser beam enables high welding speeds whilst minimising heat input. This results in precise and robust welded joints with high repeatability.

Orbital welding
Orbital welding is an automated welding process used to produce high-precision pipe joints. The welding head is guided mechanically around the pipe, resulting in uniform and reproducible weld seams.
The process is particularly suitable for applications with high demands on process reliability, leak-tightness and repeatability. Thanks to automated process control, welding parameters are consistently maintained, ensuring a consistently high level of quality.

Robotic welding
The use of modern welding robots enables components to be manufactured efficiently, with reproducible results and a high degree of process reliability. Automated motion sequences ensure consistent welding parameters and a consistently high standard of quality across large production runs.
Robotic welding is particularly well-suited to series production, complex welded assemblies and repetitive processes with high demands on precision and cost-effectiveness.
With a total of 17 Yaskawa welding robots, we are ideally equipped for both small and large-scale production runs.
These include 10 rotary-tilting table welding robots with a maximum working width of 2000 mm, and 3 twin welding robots with a maximum working width of 3200 mm. Finally, we have a gantry welding robot capable of welding on 4 axes. This covers a maximum working area of 4200 mm.

Prototype manufacturing
In prototype construction, our welding processes enable the flexible and rapid production of complex components. Thanks to the close integration of design, manufacturing and quality assurance, adjustments can be made at short notice and development processes can be supported efficiently. With our small welding cells, we are able to produce larger quantities without any problems, even under simplified conditions during prototype manufacturing.
