FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you have questions about our company, our products or our services? Then you've come to the right place.

Deposition welding with wire is the most material-efficient and safest laser technology. It is characterised by high availability, cost efficiency, easy handling and certified filler metal quality. It also minimises material loss and is harmless to health. 

Our trailing gas nozzles are very robust and durable. They are equipped with wear parts to withstand the thermal loads during welding as well as spatter, fumes and dirt. In addition, our nozzles can be designed with or without cooling, depending on the operating conditions. Furthermore, the gas distribution in the trailing gas nozzles and the outflow from the nozzle have been optimised using modern flow simulation methods so that the nozzles provide a laminar shielding gas film as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The dimensions of our cameras are very small. However, if it is still too small for the process display, we can offer you solutions to make the best possible use of the installation space.
