When the Highest Accuracy, Precision, Versatility and Control is Required

January 19, 2019 Products

Are you bidding on jobs that involve welding the smallest of parts together without causing any damage to them? Or others that require consistent, repeatable, high quality welding of complicated joints and dissimilar materials in difficult-to-reach areas, with minimal part distortion? If so, take a closer look at some of these latest advances in laser welding.

The TruLaser Weld 5000 from TRUMPF uses FusionLine technology to overcome component imperfections in the welding process and close gaps up to 0.04 in wide with a welding seam and processing times that significantly outperform conventional welding techniques. Users can take advantage of the perfect combination of laser beam guidance, optics and a weld feed system to perform cost-effective laser welding operations even if their component portfolio is not optimized for laser welding.

Laser Welding Cell Forgives Imperfections
Getting started with laser welding is now easier than ever before thanks to tolerant laser welding with FusionLine technology from TRUMPF that allows for the welding of components with gaps for even simpler operation.

Robotic Laser Welding and Cutting Meets Demands for High Accuracy
Pre-engineered with offline programming capabilities and tools for automatic TCP calibration, work objects and positioner base frames that match various part sizes, geometries and production volumes, the IRB 2400 robot from ABB Robotics laser welds and laser cuts using world-class motion control and path performance.

A New Approach to Fiber Laser Welding
CleanWeld technology from Coherent delivers up to 80 percent spatter reduction with minimal cracking and porosity in diverse applications, including zero-gap welding of galvanized steel, automobile powertrain component welding, and aluminum and copper welding for electric car batteries.

3D Simulation and Offline Programming for Laser Welding Systems
FASTSUITE Edition 2 software from CENIT creates virtual cells for TRUMPF, Amada and other automated laser welding systems for faster creation of fixtures for prototypes, shorter cycle times for production parts and less overall programming time.

Fiber Laser Windows Reduce Focus Shift and Beam Deterioration
Ideally suited as debris shields for laser welding and cutting, Sapphire Fiber Cover Glass Windows from Laser Research Optics can withstand steel splatter, flash, and debris better than fused silica.
