FANTECH Laser Welding in Practice: Aptec production's Experience
Faster Welding, Higher Quality, and Fewer Post-Weld Repairs
Aptec production uses the FANTECH LWG 4.0 EXPERT 1500 W to weld thin-walled stainless steel and aluminium components for the energy sector and heat exchanger stations.
In daily production, the company particularly values the high welding speed, weld quality, and reduced thermal distortion. Laser technology has also significantly reduced the need for subsequent manual weld repairs and finishing operations.
Technology Tested on a Real-World Application
Before selecting the equipment, the company consulted with FANTECH specialists about its specific application and tested the technology on its own components. The cooperation also included equipment installation and hands-on operator training.
“With the FANTECH laser welding machine, we have managed to eliminate thermal distortion and significantly reduce the need for subsequent manual weld repairs and finishing operations.” Ing. Ondřej Dvořák, Production Technologist at Aptec production s.r.o.
