Process-oriented
research
The GLAMAtronic development department accompanies
our customers with any questions for CD-welding.
Our trained team supports by:
The design of the components to be welded and its weld preparation
The determination of optimal weld parameters
The production of welding tools and trial gauges
The manufacture and design of new welding tools and welding equipment
The metallographic and mechanical material tests of the welded components and their subsequent interpretation and advice
Production of sample parts or small series
In order to perform welding tests, our development department can use 5 CD-welding machines in C-frame and Portal-frame construction from 4 kJ and 10 kN up to 130 kJ and 200 kN, and 1 MF welding machine with 130 kVA and 10 kN.
The tooling required for the welding test (for simple to very complex welding applications) are built in close cooperation and coordination with our customers.

exact measurement
of the welded components
In order to meet the constantly increasing demands on quality, high-precision measuring equipment is available. This enables us to measure the components immediately after welding and make corrections to the process if necessary. In this way, the requirements are reached quickly and efficiently.
Calibrated measuring tools for measuring tolerances for concentricity, parallelism
Image-guided 3D coordinate measuring system
We work with regional and national universities for further material, microscopic, technological and scientific studies. We therefore offer you a very wide range of tests.
