The shipbuilding industry features a long industrial chain and strong driving power, and is widely regarded as the “crown of comprehensive industry.” As the industry continues to move toward high-end development, HGTECH has actively expanded into advanced shipbuilding. From raw material cleaning and cutting of hull components, to welding of small, medium, and large structural parts, to the planning and design of intelligent thin-plate flat section production lines, as well as the manufacturing of key components for green propulsion systems, we are committed to delivering comprehensive laser intelligent manufacturing solutions for hull component production while promoting the coordinated advancement of green and intelligent technologies for high-end ships.

I. Hull Component Manufacturing – Intelligent Equipment

In shipbuilding, the precision and efficiency of steel plate and profile cutting directly impact production schedules and product quality, while welding—accounting for 30%–40% of labor hours—affects both production cycles and costs. Traditional methods struggle to balance precision, efficiency, and stability. Laser cutting and intelligent welding equipment, with high accuracy, non-contact processing, and flexible automation, provide an ideal solution for material preparation and high-end shipbuilding, meeting the demands of multi-variety, small-batch, and highly customized production.

II. Hull Component Manufacturing – Intelligent Production Lines

1.Intelligent Laser Cutting Automatic Production Line 

Intelligent Laser Cutting Automatic Production Line includes several specialized lines, such as those for component cutting, deck cutting, and profile cutting. The workshop’s process layout is designed with a focus on optimizing product manufacturing logistics. Through modeling and simulation, the production line layout, manufacturing routes, logistics, and distribution are all carefully planned to ensure the most efficient configuration. This approach guarantees smooth, convenient, and orderly flow of workpieces throughout the production process.

2.Thin Plate Welding Intelligent Production Line

In high-end shipbuilding, thin steel plates (4–12 mm) are used above the waterline to reduce weight and lower the vessel’s center of gravity. Traditional gas-shielded welding causes high heat input, deformation, and low efficiency. Laser hybrid welding, especially when combined with an automated production line, significantly improves welding efficiency, shortens the shipbuilding cycle, reduces material and energy consumption, and enhances weld quality.

The Thin Plate Flat Section Welding Intelligent Production Line uses high-power laser hybrid welding with visual sensing for precise seam tracking and weld path correction, minimizing plate deformation. Integrated with industrial IoT and intelligent central control, the line enables flexible, high-quality, and automated welding.

In addition, HGTECH provides a wide range of laser cutting equipment and laser welding production lines, integrated with digital and intelligent manufacturing technologies, to deliver customized intelligent solutions for shipbuilding.
