METHOD FOR MAKING LAMINATE METALLIC HONEYCOMB PANELS AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING THE SAME Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B23K11/06 B23K31/02 B23K101/02 

FIELD: aircraft making industry, namely manufacture of laminate honeycomb metallic panels.

SUBSTANCE: method comprises steps of making at first one-layer honeycomb panel; welding beads of filler bands of new layer and facing of one-layer panel by single-side welding; applying welding electric current at inner side of filler of new layer through mutually insulated plate electrodes while missing facing of new layer by means of contact rollers moved in parallel to welding line; at time moment of welding forcing each pair of electrodes to welded portions by means of said rollers; performing single-side roller welding of facing of new layer of panel with beads of filler bands of new layer at using electrically conducting comb and supplying welding current at outer side of new-layer facing.

EFFECT: possibility for making honeycomb panels having more than two layers of honeycomb filler and panels of different size in plan view or different shape of cells in honeycomb layers.
