Abstract
For the manufacture of composite panels (16) it is proposed that they be held essentially upright by means of holding devices (17) and that welding by means of a laser welding plant (11, 13) be performed in this position. This affords a considerable space saving compared with the conventional horizontal arrangement in which the composite panels are processed and handled.
