• SKS welding application: General industry

General Industry

The use of welded constructions has become established and accepted in many ways, for example to reduce the costs for material and machining. Many things in everyday life today are based on metal constructions with at least one welded seam. In addition to the numerous applications in the automotive sector, the SKS welding system is therefore also used very successfully for a wide range of welding tasks in other branches of industry. The very broad spectrum ranges from wind turbines to construction machinery, switch cabinets, office furniture, shop and warehouse equipment to hospital beds and shopping trolleys.

Each of these very different industrial products contains very specific details and requires individual solutions. The high flexibility and maximum precision of SKS welding equipment support users in their daily work from batch size one to mass production.

Welding challenges

  • different base materials and material thicknesses
  • very individual requirements
  • different production quantities, partly “batch size one”

Prerequisites

  • highest flexibility
  • maximum precision
  • precise thermal control
  • reproducible welding processes / welding parameters

General Industrial Applications:
Steel

Welded steel structures surround us in great variety. We often see or use them without knowing what is actually behind them. Starting with everyday objects such as shopping trolleys, through heavy-duty shelves/racks or switch boxes in our working environment, to wind turbines and bridge structures. Welded seams are hidden everywhere, securing our mobility, supplying us with energy or making our daily life and work easier. The SKS welding system meets the wide range of applications with maximum flexibility to fully satisfy the requirements of each application.

General Industrial Applications:
High-alloy Steel

High-alloy steels are often used in the chemical and food industries due to their corrosion properties. But also railings and parts of building exposed to weather are often made of these materials. Welded structures are used in restaurant and canteen kitchen equipment to minimize the use of material and thus reduce costs. In all these applications, very high demands are placed on cleanliness and the quality of the weld surfaces. The SKS welding system offers the right welding process for each of these applications and also meets other requirements such as high joining speeds or traceability of welding parameters.
