Remote and Cost-Effective Laser Welding, Cutting or Cleaning
Remote Scanning Workcells equipped with 2D scanning heads and robots offer a wide range of processing options and capabilities that reduce cycle times and increase production capabilities for both simple and complex shaped parts. The large field of view of the scanner reduces repositioning time, resulting in shorter cycle times and higher productivity.

Scanning System
Beam delivery utilizes IPG mid-power scanning heads:
- Power capability up to 2000 W
- Field sizes up to 170 × 170 mm (254 mm focus lens option)
- Working distance up to 289 mm
- Optional through-the-lens camera
- Optional air-knife assembly
Remote Welding
Remote welding using a scanner is an ideal solution for welding complex shapes or seams as well as trays of identical welded parts:
- High-speed scan positioning drastically reduces cycle times in applications where move-times dominate throughput
- Integrated vision alignment provides accurate weld positioning
- Robotic head positioning lowers cost and is more flexible than Cartesian motion alternatives for most welding applications
Cleaning Applications
Laser scanning is a more cost-effective and environmentally-friendly cleaning technique for many industrial applications:
- Pre-weld removal of grease/oils, paint removal, protective coating removal and pre-adhesive surface preparation
- Eliminates the need for disposal of aggressive solvents and/or blast media
- Highly spatially selective, removing only the target coating and leaving the remainder in place
- Programmable and repeatable cleaning solution that is not reliant on the skills of the operator
Remote Scanning Workcell Software
The Remote Scanning Workcell uses several software modules for programming and control, with basic system operation controlled from the IPG HMI.
The HMI comprises nine key screens, with each displaying common information and controls so that no matter what screen is displayed, the user has immediate access to important data and the means to control the system.
