With the order of 3 big welding robot installations (with the possibility of more to follow in the futher) Van Hool is going to be welding complete stainless steel container tanks and tank trucks.
These projects were only possible thanks to a number of well-known solutions of Valk Welding such as the calibrated Panasonic welding robots, the DTPS offline programming package, the Automatic Path Generator (APG) for the automatic creation of robot programs, and, above all, the Valk Welding Arc-Eye CSS laser tracking system.
Previous to this project very important advanced welding trials in which the Panasonic arc welding technology with, among other things, the state-of-the-art Dip Pulse welding process were executed with great success.
The current welding speed as well as the weld quality where not reachable until now.
