Laser-welded steel tubes
Why not use different materials in a tube, thus opening up new ways of construction? Tailored Orbitals® combine different diameters, wall thicknesses and materials – and reap the benefits of Tailored Products for rotationally symmetrical parts: less weight, lower costs and improved functionality.
Wide range of applications
The wide range of variation ensures possible applications across various business areas: Tailored Orbitals® are used in automotive components as well as in industrial parts. Tailored Orbitals® are particularly effective when it comes to saving weight and material or to the optimization of the production process.
