Challenges

Operating in the cruise line industry, Valsamis undertakes time-critical repair and maintenance projects, where fabrication efficiency directly impacts project timelines. In practice, the company faced several key challenges:

  • Tight project schedules during docking periods

    Ship repair projects must be completed within limited docking time, leaving little room for delays in fabrication.

  • Difficulty achieving clean cuts and easy part removal

    With previous equipment, cut parts often required manual force to separate, increasing labor time and affecting workflow efficiency.

  • Handling multiple materials and thicknesses

    Daily fabrication involves a variety of materials, from galvanized sheets to thicker carbon steel, requiring stable and consistent cutting performance.

  • Dependence on technician support for troubleshooting

When issues occurred, operators had to wait for technicians, causing interruptions in time-sensitive operations.

Solution

To improve fabrication efficiency in demanding marine projects, Valsamis introduced the Bodor P3 12kW laser cutting machine with scanning cutting technology, achieving faster, more reliable, and more efficient processing.

  • Faster processing for tight project schedules

    With 4G acceleration and positioning speeds up to 200 m/min, the machine significantly reduces idle time, enabling faster cutting cycles and helping meet strict docking timelines.

  • Stable cutting across diverse materials

    The optional scanning cutting laser head enhances energy absorption in the cutting area, ensuring stable performance across a wide range of materials—including high-reflective metals—for consistent production.

  • Clean cuts with easy part removal

    High-precision cutting ensures smooth edges, allowing parts to separate easily without manual force or secondary processing, improving overall workflow efficiency.

  • Simple and intelligent operation

    Features such as one-second edge finding and automatic seam compensation simplify operation, reducing setup time and operator dependency.

  • 24/7 remote support to minimize downtime

    With 24/7 online support, engineers can remotely access and diagnose the system in real time, providing fast troubleshooting and significantly reducing downtime.

  • Better material utilization

    Intelligent remnants layout maximizes material usage, reducing waste and lowering production costs.
