Weland – a unique resource!Within the Weland Group (Weland AB and its subsidiaries), we have acquired excellent mechanical equipment and considerable production resources over the years.

We are now offering production capacity on a subcontracting basis, which through collaboration between Weland companies and other associated companies is making us a complete and strong business partner.

Together, we can offer unique production opportunities, and you only need one contact person who will take responsibility for and co-ordinate some or all of your production.

We also have very extensive stocks of mate-rials, with at least 1,500 tons of sheet metal in stock, in a wide range of material grades and thicknesses. This means that we will probably have the right material in store, and we can therefore offer delivery times that few others can match.

This makes us a unique resource!

From idea to final productContact us in the concept stage. Whether you have a simple conceptual sketch or finished CAD drawing, our experience of production can be a great help in the ongoing process.

A unique resource

Production drawingThe manufacturing process is made easier if you have produced your own CAD drawings. If you do not have drawings, our design office can help you.

Manufacturing the component partsWhen the CAD drawings have been approved, manufacturing of the components starts. We have the resources required to perform most metalworking processes with precision, skill and the highest quality

WeldingA completed product usually consists of several different parts that must be assembled or welded together in some way. We have significant resources and long experience of varying engineering work and rational handling.

Surface treatmentWe can provide surface treatments of various kinds. We have our own resources for hot dip galva-nisation and painting. We can provide other surface treatments in collaboration with nearby partners.

5www.weland.se | +46 371-344 00

AssemblyIn connection with laser cutting, punching, bending or other manufacturing process, we can also offer assembly of complete or partial final products. Our long experience and knowledgeable staff guarantee the highest quality with fast and rational handling.

Drawing officeOur drawing office works with the latest available CAD equipment.

We can assist with the preparation of drawings or get ready drawings from you along with a DXF or 3D file. Our drawing office uses primarily SolidWorks.

All programming of our laser machines is done at our drawing office by staff with many years of experience in laser programming. As a result, we are currently programming on average about 50 new details per day year-round. This is also where we make adjustments to our own production, prepare material articles, and calculate cutting times.

TenoningAlready when the parts are being laser cut, they can be prepared with tenons, mitres, notches and holes in the goods. This gives a perfect fit prior to welding without any need for welding jigs.

Tenoning facilitates the assembly and joining of the parts. You get a perfectly assembled product.

We have software that automatically optimises tenoning to give the absolute best result!

Minimisation of wastageWe are working hard to utilise the sheet metal to the maximum, i.e. to have as little wastage/scrap as possible. Weland always tries to be at the cutting edge of new technology. This also applies to our software.

We have an advanced system for monitoring/ reporting the consumption of materials. In this system, it is easy for us to follow the exact progress of a cutting plan to see which detail are being cut, and how long it takes the machine to cut them. All material reporting is done automatically, which means that all of our material balances are always updated and that we can easily monitor how much waste is generated.

Quality and environmentAll stages of the production chain are subject to careful control. We work according to the ISO 9001 quality management system. We also have environmental certification according to ISO 14001.

Steel pallets for vertical stacking

Weland has developed a stackable steel pallet that is usa-ble in most contexts, including internal as well as external handling. The rounded foot restraints on which the pallet stands are a refinement that, together with the socket tube, means the stability is maintained when stacking vertically. Empty pallets are stacked compactly, thereby taking up the minimum space.

On behalf of Stena Stål AB, Weland has laser cut parts for the hull, bot-tom plate, sternpost, frame and tran-som.

12 www.weland.se | +46 371-344 00

Automatic cutting of tube and other long goodsWe have various types of laser machines, with fixed or movable head.

Fixed laser head is the traditional way of cutting tube. With this method you obtain a straight cut in the tube.

Movable cutting head (3D cutting) is laser cutting where you can obtain angled cut surfaces in tubes such as, for example, welding chamfers, counter-sinks etc. With this method, you can tube cut really large sizes in our Jumbo Tube Laser machine.

The difference between standard tube cutting and 3D cutting with movable cutting headA small tube must go aslant through a larger tube.

In ordinary tube cutting (fixed head), the cut sur-faces are perpendicular to the tube’s longitudinal direction, and tubes are then fitted this way.

In 3D cutting (movable head), the cut surfaces can be angled with respect to the tube’s longitudinal direction to obtain a perfect fit between the tubes.

TenoningOnce the details have been laser cut, the parts can be prepared with matching tenons and holes. These tenons and holes provide a perfect fit prior to welding. No measurement of the parts is required.

Tenoning facilitates the assembly and joining of the parts. You get a perfectly assembled product.

Tenoning also helps you avoid expensive welding rigs. A welding rig is a high cost in product development.

Laser cutting of tubes

13www.weland.se | +46 371-344 00

Automatic cutting with movable cutting head (3D cutting) enables production of components where the use of laser cutting has not been possible before. For example, welding chamfers are cut without any need for finishing. Likewise, countersinks can be cut at the same time as holes are made.

It is possible to cut “edge-to-edge” tube joints with arched surfaces with great precision. The fit is just superb when surfaces are fitted to each other.

Angled connections and tubes in different dimen-sions can also be cut.

Large capacity with automatic feed of materials, even in coarse dimensions.

Laser cutting of tubes with fixed cutting head

Laser cutting of tubes with moveable cutting head

It is possible to cut “edge-to-edge” tube joints with arched surfaces with great precision. Angled connections and tubes in different dimensions can also be cut.

This is the traditional manner to laser cut tubes, i.e. the cutting head is fixed and always directed towards the centre of the pipe.

Section surfaces in HF HRS sections are perpen-dicular to the even surfaces. Cutting of indentations and cutting products with great precision and speed. This is a superior production method for both small and large batches.

Fibre-optic tube laser cuttingWeland can now also offer fibre-optic laser cutting of tubes.

Fibre lasers are a compact, effective and reliable method that has long been used within several other business areas.

It is now also possible to use the technique for metalworking, which provides a number of advan-tages compared to traditional laser techniques:

• Green Tech – Up to 80 percent lower energy consumption provides a more environmentally friendly production.

Robot cellFlexible machining cell that provides the opportunity for rapid change-overs

Cutting machining after laser cutting has been a cramped sector at Weland.

Drilling and milling with short cycle times results in a very high number of component changes. In many ways, this is costly and non-ergonomic work that requires somebody to be present at the machine at all times to ensure effective production.

A concept has been developed in the form of a machin-ing cell that combines a high degree of flexibility and the potential for rapid change-overs.

The cell comprises a horizontal multiple operation machine. The robot cell contains long belt conveyors that provide the potential to buffer for unmanned operation, moreover a robot that picks the work pieces straight from the pallet. In the cell, it is possible to unload finished components at three pallet locations.

Surface treatment

Weland performs two types of surface treatment, painting and hot dip galvanisation.

PaintingPriming as well as top coating is carried out in our modern facility.

Weland’s paint shop can supply products in primed or painted versions.

We can offer painting using various methods, such as traditional “wet” as well as powder painting.

Top-coating is done with all the shades on the NCS or RAL scale.

Hot dip galvanisationA very effective way of rustproofing steel products against corrosion.

Hot dip galvanisation of steel is one of the most effective and most tested surface treatments availa-ble. Steel products that are to be hot dip galvanised and corrosion protected are dipped into a zinc bath with molten zinc.

A reaction occurs in the contact surface between the steel and liquid zinc forming a ferrous/zinc alloy. This means that the zinc layer cannot flake off or rust from the inside.

Weland’s subsidiary, Zinken Weland, has a modern hot-dip galvanising facility in Ulricehamn.
