Manufacturing Operations / Welding

Welding of industrial parts with follow-up to surface treatment, inspection and documentation

We weld parts and assemblies for technical orders where preparation, qualified procedure, inspection, documentation and follow-up to other production operations are important. We can combine welding with surface treatments, assembly, fixtures for atypical parts and final inspection.

Certified welding

Welding must pass technical assessment, production and subsequent surface treatment

For technical parts, it is not enough to make a weld and pass on the order. The customer needs to know that the preparation, procedure, inspection and documentation meet the requirements of the project and that the welded part can be safely connected to further operations.

EN 15085-2 for railway applications and technical orders

Certification for rail industry welding supports jobs where the customer needs to demonstrate a qualified process, responsibilities, inspection and documentation.

Welding as part of a wider production order

Welding can follow on from part preparation, fixture fabrication, assembly, surface treatments, inspection, and shipping. The advantage is less handover between suppliers and clearer responsibility for the result.

Preparation of parts and subsequent operations

Welding quality starts with part preparation, production process and continuity

For welded parts, we deal with material, shape, availability of welds, handling, continuity with other operations and inspection requirements. The goal is to set up the procedure so that the welding fits into the entire pass of the job and does not create a risk for subsequent surface treatments, assembly or shipping.

Depending on the type of project, the preparation of custom fixtures, small production adjustments, assembly, packaging or coordination with painting, blasting and other processes may also be included.

Preparation of parts before welding

We assess the condition of the parts, the continuity of previous operations, the availability of welding points, the requirements for accuracy and the method of handling.

Fixtures for atypical parts and repetitive production

For irregular or repetitive jobs, it may make sense to design a fixture that facilitates part setup, inspection, repeatability, and follow-up handling.

Continuity with surface treatments

Welding may be part of a larger job where the manufacturing operation is followed by blasting, metallizing, wet painting, quality control and documentation.

Assembly, final assembly and dispatch

For selected projects, it helps if part of the manufacturing operations, surface protection, assembly and preparation for shipment are handled by one responsible supplier.

Quality control

For welded parts, it is important to check the procedure, the result and the documentation

For technical orders, the customer often needs more than a finished part. He needs assurance that the welding has been performed according to requirements, that the result is traceable, and that subsequent surface treatment or assembly will not be compromised by an error in the previous step.

Visual and dimensional inspection

The inspection helps to verify the basic compliance of the part with the requirements of the order, the follow-up to the assembly and the other production procedure.

Control of adherence to surface treatment

For parts that subsequently undergo blasting, metallizing or painting, we also take care that welding does not create a problem for the next technological step.

Process documentation

According to the requirements of the order, we help document the necessary documents for supplier approval, audit, customer assessment or internal control.

Controlled passage of the order

The advantage of a wider background is the possibility to better establish preparation, welding, surface treatments, inspection, packaging and shipping.

Welding process

How a welding job works

We manage the order as a follow-up process, from the verification of the specification through the preparation of parts and welding to inspection, documentation and any follow-up surface treatments.

Fields and Typical Uses

Welding for demanding industries and repeated technical orders

Welding makes sense for customers who need to combine manufacturing, finishing, quality control and documentation into one more controlled process. It is important that the order requires a reliable procedure, repeatability, adequate documents or long-term cooperation.

Rolling stock

Certification, documentation, auditability, traceability of bonding, painting and other production operations.

Defense industry

Technically demanding parts, emphasis on process, control, durability and verifiable documents.

Energy and heavy engineering

Structural units, atypical parts, handling, follow-up to anti-corrosion protection and shipping.

Engineering and industrial production

Repeat orders, production sets, fixtures, assembly and follow-up to other production steps.

Medical and special technology

Technical projects where accuracy, process purity, control and documentation for a specific use are decisive.

Aerospace and precision engineering

Technical assemblies and subsequent production steps, where a demonstrable procedure, control and follow-up to other operations are important.

Welding reference

Situations where welding helps solve the entire job flow

In welding, it is important to show not only the finished part, but also the input, preparation, follow-up to production, inspection, documentation and the reason why it was advantageous to solve multiple steps in one controlled process.

Rail technology

Welding of parts for subsequent surface treatment

An example of a job where certification, documentation, inspection and subsequent painting or assembly is important.

Heavy engineering

Welded assembly with subsequent anti-corrosion protection

Demonstration of continuity of production, handling, inspection, blasting, metallizing or wet painting of a technical part.

Production operations

Fixture for a non-standard part or repeat production

An example where a proprietary product helps with set-up, handling, repeatability and safer job flow.

Industrial production

Repeat production of welded parts

Implementation focused on stable process, repeatability, control, packaging and long-term cooperation.

Complex order

Welding, surface treatment and assembly from one supplier

A scenario where the customer does not want to hand off a part between multiple suppliers and needs clear responsibility for the overall outcome.

Certification and testing

Need to document welding for supplier audit or approval?

For technically demanding contracts, certification, process records and documentation help to simplify internal assessment, customer audit and supplier technical approval.

Frequently asked questions

What customers consider before requesting welding

Can you handle welding as part of the whole job?+

Yes. For suitable projects, welding can follow on from part preparation, fixtures, blasting, metallizing, wet painting, assembly, inspection and shipping.

What certifications are important for welding?+

EN 15085-2, ČSN EN ISO 3834-2, ČD V95-5 and the quality control system are especially important for demanding orders. We will verify the specific relevance according to the customer's specifications.

Can you provide documents for audit or supplier approval?+

Yes. For orders with a requirement for the supplier's qualification, we help to document certifications, process documentation and other documents according to the customer's requirements.

Why solve welding and surface treatment with one supplier?+

The number of handovers between suppliers is reduced, the continuity of technological steps is better monitored and the customer has clearer responsibility for the result.

What to send for rapid assessment?+

A drawing, photograph of the part, material, number of pieces, required term, follow-up operations and any standard or customer regulation is ideal. If you don't know some data, just start with a brief description.
