Turnkey System With Fast & Easy Installation
- A customized solution for integrators and self-integrating customers with or without welding expertise
- The ease of selecting a standard product, with the functional flexibility of a custom-programmed system
- Single-vendor support with design and procurement of all system components including laser, chiller, laser welding head, and programmable controller
- Laser, weld path, vision recognition and path correction software programming performed by IPG
- Configuration options to match specific applications
- Fully integrated, custom-built systems arrive ready to go simplifying deployment to the shop floor
Intelligent Intuitive Operation
- Fully programmable control of weld position and all laser processing parameters with ILWS Manager software
- Vision alignment detects and corrects weld site location and weld pattern for repeatable high-quality results
- Laser parameters easily adjusted for power and pulse to accommodate different parts and assembly line configurations
- Optional Real-time weld measurement feature
- Pre-weld part monitoring
- In-weld measurement of penetration depth
- Measurement of finished weld bead height and position
Designed for High-Speed and High-Precision Welding
- Laser scanners deflect the beam simultaneiously in X-Y directions at very high speeds using motorized mirror assemblies in scanning head
- Large welding working area, up to 250 x 250 mm accommodates multiple weld sites, or many small parts, to be processed within a single scan field
- Working distance up to 500 mm allows welding in hard to reach locations
- Complex shapes or multiple weld locations can be accommodated without any physical movement of the part
Unmatched Quality Assurance With Real-Time Weld Measurement Option
- Measurement beam fired through same optics as welding laser
- Instant and non-destructive measurement of every weld for 100% quality assurance
- Pre-weld part positioning verification
- In-weld measurement of penetration depth
- Finished weld measurement of bead height and position
- Failed parts can be identified for rework while good parts move on for final assembly
- Test data recorded and available for later quality analysis
