Laser Welding

VPL System® - VIETZ Pipeline Laser

The VPL-System® is a worldwide patented new development made by VIETZ. For the first time ever, laser welding technology can be applied in pipeline construction! The results are unprecedented, and they clearly outperform all welding methods previously applied in pipeline construction!

Advantages at a glance:

· achieves welding speed of 2.3 meters per minute with pipe of 20 mm wall thickness
· reduces pipeline construction time to one third the time of conventionally executed projects,
· reduces costs for pipeline construction to one third the costs for conventionally executed projects
· fully automated process – no welders required
· no weld imperfection
· no filler material required
· welding process is immediately followed by
· ultrasonic testing and weld seam documentation.

The technological concept of the VPL-System® is promoted and supported by a number of renowned research institutes in the field of laser technology as well as by many constructors in the pipeline industry.
