Abstract
A method for producing ribbed pipes, in which a first pipe base body is ribbed on its outer side, in particular helically, with a first band, to which end the first band is secured to the first pipe base body using a first laser beam. While the first band is being secured to the first pipe base body using the first laser beam, a second pipe base body is ribbed on its outer side with a second band, to which end the second band is secured to the second pipe base body using a second laser beam, wherein the first and second laser beams come from the same laser source.

A method for producing ribbed pipes, comprising the steps of:
- ribbing and outer side of a first pipe base body with a first band, including securing the first band to the first pipe base body using a first laser beam;
- and, while the first band is being secured to the first pipe base body using the first laser beam, ribbing and outer side of a second pipe base body with a second band, including securing the second band to the second pipe base body using a second laser beam, wherein the first and second laser beams come from a common laser source.
An apparatus for producing ribbed pipes, comprising:
- a laser source;
- and a first laser outlet associated with the laser source so as to provide a first laser beam for securing a first band to a first pipe base body;
- and a second laser outlet associated with the laser source so as to provide a second laser beam for securing a second band to a second pipe base body.
