Exhaust Systems
SKS’ standards are used worldwide by manufacturers of exhaust systems. For more than 30 years, SKS has been meeting the increasing demands on quality, productivity and efficiency with space-saving torch systems with optimized accessibility and welding processes technologically adapted to the respective application. Products such as the Wire Select torch system or the ferrite sensor additionally support the user in his daily tasks.
Welding challenges
- low wall thicknesses / thin tubes or sheets
- different material combinations
- different filler materials (partly on one assembly)
- Air gaps / trim and position tolerances
- high welding speed
- partially limited accessibility (with the torch system)
- soiled surfaces
- cracking
Prerequisites
- optimized / close-to-process wire feeding
- precise heat control / heat-reduced welding processes
- reproducible welding processes / welding parameters
- easy change of the weld filler
- use of the correct filler metal
Application – Exhaust systems:
High-alloy steels
The use of several welding robots on a rotating exhaust system, working together in a very confined space, as well as the joining of a wide variety of base materials and small batch sizes (just-in-sequence production) is just as much a part of everyday work at SKS as ever thinner material thicknesses and very high welding speeds.
