Schweißtechnische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt Schweißtechnische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt Mecklenburg-Vorpommern GmbH Mecklenburg-Vorpommern GmbH High power fibre laser - new prospects High power fibre laser - new prospects for welding and cutting in shipbuilding for welding and cutting in shipbuilding Ulf Jasnau, André Sumpf Workshop „Fibre laser“ Bremen 24.05.2005 Mai, 05 Content Content • Refitting of welding equipment with solid state lasers - an idea ! • The research prototype gantry at Aker Warnow Shipyard • Higher power with fibre laser - precondition for more application cases in the shipbuilding industry • Examples from our work with 10 kW fibre laser • Laser technology in Rostock - some slides in own affair ! Schweißtechnische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt Mecklenburg-Vorpommern GmbH 2 Refitting - an idea Refitting - an idea Robots are commonly used as handling systems for solid state lasers This is a refitting of equipment with lasers Starting point were welding robots and solid state lasers - existent handling systems were refitted! Schweißtechnische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt Mecklenburg-Vorpommern GmbH 3 Refitting - an idea Refitting - an idea Why not refitting of gantries and other equipment with solid state lasers too? With the available laser power of 4 kW some years ago solid state lasers came interesting also for shipyards. Schweißtechnische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt Mecklenburg-Vorpommern GmbH 4 The research prototype The research prototype Hybrid head with seam tracking system on a production welding gantry at Aker Warnow Shipyard with 4 kW diode pumped solid state laser F
