Welders from the Trans-Urals and Krasnoyarsk region became the first students in the additional professional education program at the Research Laboratory “Laser and Additive Technologies” of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering of Materials and Transport of SPbPU. Specialists from various branches of the ISO company came to St. Petersburg to study laser welding and additive technologies.
Transfer of knowledge in the field of innovative laser technologies to representatives of the regions is important for meeting the needs of the national economy and state security. Training specialists of enterprises of the real sector of the economy at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport contributes to strengthening the technological sovereignty of Russia, – emphasized the director of IMMiT SPbPU Anatoly Popovich.
Five specialists completed a course in the direction of “Technological Fundamentals of Surface Restoration and Modification”. The advanced training program included theoretical intensives in the lecture hall and practical classes on equipment provided by the laboratory.
The ISO company is an important strategic partner for us. During the work on joint projects in the field of laser welding technologies, we found common ground in science, production and training. Such interaction helps to transfer the technological experience accumulated by the laboratory staff to the regions of Russia. We hope that cooperation between the university and the industrial partner will develop even more actively, – noted the head of the Scientific Research Laboratory “LiAT” of the IMMiT SPbPU Mikhail Kuznetsov.
The material and technical base of the Scientific and Research Laboratory “LiAT” is represented by unique equipment, including our own development, for laser and hybrid laser-arc welding, direct laser deposition, laser cladding and laser surface hardening. This makes it possible to solve a wide range of scientific and applied problems and to train specialists in laser welding and additive technologies in practice.
The classes were conducted by the employees of the Scientific and Research Laboratory “LiAT”. Experienced specialists shared their knowledge with representatives of industrial enterprises of the Ural Federal District and Krasnoyarsk Krai. A visit by the General Director of “ISO” Alexander Baranchikov was a pleasant surprise for the students. Alexander Nikolaevich familiarized himself with the program, asked his colleagues about the opinion of the training and discussed with the head of the laboratory the possibilities of further cooperation between the company and the university.
The practical development of laser welding technologies helped to reveal that the hybrid laser-arc method is more suitable for the needs of our enterprise. Therefore, we decided to train our employees in innovative welding methods. The optimal number is five to six people. As in art – in small groups, where talents absorb the basics. During their training at the Polytechnic, our specialists learned to program industrial robots, were engaged in welding and heat treatment. Returning to their workplaces, they will become flagships of innovations and lead their colleagues. Such continuity will contribute to the sustainable development of the technology industry and will become a support for import substitution in our country, – said Alexander Baranchikov.
After successful completion of the training, the students received state certificates of completion of the course and took additional knowledge and skills to the regions, which will help them improve their professional activities and apply new technologies in their work.
