IPG’s Laser Processing Technology
At the heart of these production line elements is a laser-based materials processing solution that provides the core manufacturing capability.
As leaders in laser materials processing, IPG is uniquely able to support the design, installation and ongoing support of your manufacturing solution
- Guidance from IPG’s e-mobility processing experts on selection of the core laser technology and processing heads.
- Equipment design, part-tooling and process development services from a single company experienced in all three disciplines
- Support for concept-proving samples and engineering advice on optimum design of parts for laser processing
Automated Solutions Center Accelerates Line Deployment
From virtual proof of concept, design and process through specialized tooling, real-time machine intelligence, and connected manufacturing communications, IPG has the tools to ensure that this automation system delivers all that you want it to.
Initial simulation and offline programming information is used to finalize the design and programming of your workcells while the system is being built. Calibration tools ensure that the Offline Programming is as close as possible to your real-world needs so your automated welding system can be rapidly deployed.
Wide Scope of Laser Processing Operations
Laser processing is more than just a high-speed metal cutting process. Today’s production capabilities also include:
- Welding of materials with thickness from fractions of millimeters up to several centimeters
- Joining of metals that are dissimilar, reflective, or coated with alloys (e.g. copper, aluminum, Ni-coated copper, titanium)
- Cleaning of parts and removal of coatings – without using harsh chemicals and abrasives
- Marking, engraving and milling of features into metals, polymers and ceramics
