FUHRMANN - LASER - WELDING - TECHNOLOGY
FUHRMANN presents the laser-welded steel sideboard as it’s newest development. The process was developed in order to be able to comply with the rising quality requirements of our customers.The previous version – spot-welded – will be replaced by the laser-step-welding. With same physical properties the advantage of the new technology lies in the finished esthetic’s of the welded area, which remains flat and clean, and which contributes substantially to the visual quality of the finished vehicle.

FUHRMANN - CW - CONTINOUS - WELDED
As product innovation FUHRMANN offers the 100 % continuous laser-welding on the hollow profiles.Apart from a substantial strength increase the continuous laser welding offers optimal protection against corrosion because of hermetically locked hollow profiles. The expenditure for a high quality long lasting anti-corrosion protection and/or additional sealing for the prevention of gap-corrosion are no longer necessary.
This translates into savings in production costs as well as increased quality and integrity.
PRODUCTION PROGRAM
On an up-to-date roll-profiling equipment we manufacture steel sideboards of high quality.The top and bottom hollow profiles are tightly closed by laser welding and give the enormous strength of the sideboards. The hollow profiles
are additionally sealed at the execution.
The profiles are produced in a thickness of 1,25 up to 2,5 mm, in steel qualities of S235 up to QSTE 500 and in a production length of 0,5 to 13,5 m’s with +/- 1mm tolerance.
For special targeted applications profiles are produced from galvanized material, high grade steel V2A / V4A and Aluminum as special program.
The extensive program of steel sideboards covers 90 different types within the range of heights from 300 to max. 1000 mm.
On request the steel sideboards can be supplied with terminal closings in the form of continuously welded on terminal ledges or terminal angles. The connections are accurately placed by means of welding robots.
The next processing step is to equip the steel sideboards with locks, hinges and/or all other necessary construction parts done on a fully automatic robot plant.
