What is the value of welding technogies?
Welding technolgy is a link between a lot of technical fields. It is used everywhere to join, coat or separate parts. A lot of constructions and production processes are only possible because of it. The welding technology uses manifold techniques and energy sources. It intervenes with the structure of the materials, because it melts or deforms the material. It has high requirements to the planning, executing and testing experts.
The welding seam is a joining element of high quality, but also with a high danger for errors. Because of this question of quality assurance are a high priority for the value of a whole building.

Our employees supervise you with the product development form the pre-serial production to the zero series with pursuing studies in the GSI mbH, Branch SLV Munich as well as on site. We will optimize the manufacturing parameters, determine the disturbance variables and perform procedure testings. Naturally we are also available with the introduction to serial production.
Why is the project accompanying support especially interesting for small and middle sized companies?
Often small and middle sized companies do not have the manpower to carry out a product development. Furthermore especially small and middle sized comapnies can profit from tailored funding programmes. Currently a totally new programm started.
