Fuel tanks securely welded with Leister

Seam by seam to success

Aviation & Defense Engineering Solutions (ADES), founded in 2021 by Birol Menekşe, produces technical parts for aerospace, marine, and industrial applications, as well as flexible fuel tanks for these fields. The welding seams for these tanks were initially carried out exclusively by hand using the TRIAC AT from Leister. “It worked well,” recalls Emre Yilmaz Şensan, Head of Technical and Operational Resources at ADES. “But since using the SEAMTEK from Leister, the process has been much more stable – the leakage rate has fallen by an impressive 80-90%.”

Precision at the touch of a button

Today, the SEAMTEK 900 AT is the heart of ADES’ production. It can be used to produce main seams reliably, evenly, and quickly – with consistently high quality. The stationary hot air welding machine delivers perfect results at the touch of a button – regardless of the operator.

Details that make the difference

The SOLANO AT from Leister is used for hard-to-reach areas and corner seams. The handy hot air tool impresses with its robust design, long service life, and low operating costs. Particularly practical: The integrated motion sensor activates the energy-saving eco mode when the appliance is not in use. As soon as it is put back into operation, full power becomes available immediately. This not only saves the company up to 40% energy, but also money – a real advantage against a backdrop of rising electricity prices.

ADES achieves a new level of quality and efficiency with welding devices from Leister. This success story shows how modern welding technology optimizes production processes and conserves resources at the same time.
