First, prepared steel plates are welded by means of butt welding to large-area structures – so-called plate blankets. According to today's state of the art, plate thicknesses of up to 25mm can be processed. The following figures show a butt-welding gantry as well as the results of the butt seam welding process in the form of a plate blanket.
