The department research and development of SLV M-V realises individually the implementation and further development of welding technologies as well as other thermal processes based on customer preferences.
Since the foundation of SLV-MV the research is mainly focused on laser based processes in addition to conventional thermal processes.
For short and medium time, the laser hybrid welding and the mobile application of laser technologies are the emphasis of our work.
Comprehensive practical experiences in developing processes and technologies, component and equipment design and in training courses are generated by means of research and industrial projects.
The combination of competences of all departments at SLV M-V enables to provide the customer individual concepts which meet the state-of-the-art and offer a high practical benefit with respect to improvement of quality of processes and decrease of production costs.
Based on customer’s requirements we realize the entire project from one source supported by our cooperation partners or perform sub-tasks, respectively.
