LASER WELDING

Laser welding is a technique that uses a powerful infrared laser beam to fuse materials together. At VDL Industrial Modules, we specialise in laser welding stainless steel and aluminium sheet metal up to 5 mm thick. We provide this service for OEMs in Hightech, Mobility, Energy, Infratech and Foodtech.

The benefits of (handheld) laser welding

At VDL Industrial Modules, we laser weld sheet metal by hand, not with a robot.  We use an advanced handheld laser welding machine for this. It allows us to weld accurately in three dimensions, giving us greater flexibility. Laser welding requires less heat than conventional welding techniques, such as TIG welding. As a result, the material undergoes little or no distortion. Laser welding also produces a neater weld seam and requires less finishing of the product.

At VDL Industrial Modules, we excel in both production and engineering. Over the years, we have built up extensive knowledge and experience in sheet metalworking. We know every possibility and limitation of producing sheet metal constructions, including laser welding of metal. In addition, our enthusiastic team of specialists knows everything about your market and its requirements.

That is why we are happy to advise you on the best material choice, the optimal processing sequence and the right assembly method. We believe there is always room for improvement. That is why we continuously optimise both the process and the product.

In addition to laser welding of metal, VDL Industrial Modules also offers other sheet-metalworking techniques:

• Bending and folding
• Laser cutting
• Post-processing
• Punching

We carry out all processing at our own factory. This shortens production time and reduces your costs.
