WELDING PROCESSES


In addition to conventional methods such as TIG, MIG, MAG and RP, we also have expertise in innovative technologies like laser and electron beam welding. Our expertise includes both manual and automated welding processes, as well as generative welding methods using LPBF (Laser Powder Bed Fusion), microplasma, and CMT (Cold Metal Transfer).

These modern welding techniques allow for precise and efficient welding connections that meet the high demands of today's manufacturing industry.

EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining)
EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining)
Process for shaping hard/thin-walled materials or complex parting geometries that cannot be machined by cutting.
Vacuum furnace
Vacuum furnace
For heat treatment or high-temperature brazing at high-vaccum (less than 1 micron).
Hydrogen / Inert Gas Furnace
Hydrogen / Inert Gas Furnace
For cleaning, inert gas brazing or CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition) coating .
SEM / EDX
SEM / EDX

Electron Beam Welding
Electron Beam Welding
Electron Beam Welding with a high demand for weld joint geometry, minimal distortion, absence of pores, and freedom from temper colors.
Laser Processes
Laser Processes
Laser beam material processing (welding, hardening, brazing, cutting, drilling) with low heat input, high cycle rates, single-sided access for overlapping joints, etc.
LVPS process
LVPS process
Low Vacuum Plasma Spray (LVPS) for cleaning, bond coating and applying hot gas corrosion protection coatings.


ADDITIONAL PROCESSES


We have extensive experience in implementing customized processes such as laser beam material processing, EB (electron beam welding), EDM (electrical discharge machining), APS (atmospheric plasma spraying), LVPS (low-pressure plasma spraying), AWS (arc wire spraying), HVOF (high-velocity oxygen fuel spraying), heat treatments (inductive, IR, air, DFIC, H2/Ar, vacuum), chemical vapour deposition (CVD) as well as flame and vacuum brazing. Additionally, we possess expertise in advanced analytical methods, including EDX/WDX (Energy-Dispersive X-ray Analysis / Wavelength-Dispersive X-ray Analysis), XRF (X-ray fluorescence analysis), and metallography. At OlBeTec, we offer support in the latest techniques and tools to meet your specific requirements.

CARRIER PATH


I developed my passion for mechanical engineering in my family's business. Here, even as a student, I learned and actively applied all essential processes such as welding, rolling, bending, cutting, straightening, turning, milling, grinding, and even dabbled in developing control systems using early PLCs and complex hydraulics. Additionally, I expanded my skills into the administrative realm through occasional stand-ins for the management.

After completing my studies, I honed the skills of a designer, delved into quality assurance, mastered agile team leadership, oversaw the transition from design to production, and assumed entrepreneurial responsibilities.

During my research activities, I acquired substantial expertise in laser beam material processing, structured idea generation and utilization, and adopted a scientific and interdisciplinary approach to efficient work.

My valuable career in the aerospace industry further enriched my knowledge, involving the application of advanced technologies. I took on welding supervision, initiated and managed quality projects, conducted training, and established quality dialogues to rectify and prevent production disruptions.

Now, I apply these skills and methods with a focus on achieving success, with the ability to expand my innovative potential to meet customer needs.
