Application of high efficiency welding in dockyard

It is no doubt that the Laser beam welding and the GMAW welding have been established in thewelding technology for very long,and that both processes allow a wide field of application in thejoining technology.New possibilities and synergetic effects, however,are based on the combination of both processes with different Laser sources,especially the CO2-YAG,and fiber Laser in combination with the GMAW process are investigated.A LaserHybrid tractor with a seam tracking system for welding long linear seams will be discussed.
