Remote Scanning Workcell
Mid-Power Laser Beam Welding, Cutting,
Cleaning and Drilling
Remote Scanning Workstations are configurable Class 1 laser workstations comprised of a fiber laser source, mid-power scanning head, and a six-axis robot with controller. An intuitive user interface provides programmability of motion and laser parameters for reliable welding, cutting and surface cleaning.
High-speed laser scanning for welding, cleaning and film cutting
Laser process head mounted to six-axis robot
Up to 1 m3 (33 ft3) working volume
Optional 2-axes part positioner with synchronized motion control
Simple HMI interface
Through-lens-camera, air-knife, fume extractor, barcode scanner options
LDD real-time quality measurement option for welding applications

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.

The Remote Scanning Workcell is the automated workstation of choice in situations where mid-power scanned beam delivery is the right processing approach:
Beam delivery utilizes IPG mid-power scanning heads:
Remote welding using a scanner is an ideal solution for welding complex shapes or seams as well as trays of identical welded parts:
Laser scanning is a more cost-effective and environmentally-friendly cleaning technique for many industrial applications:

IPG’s in-line weld monitor for remote scan welding applications. Paired with our IPG OmniWELD Scanning software the LDD-700 offers five monitoring modes: keyhole depth, seam profile, workpiece height, finished weld surface height and bead profile—all from a single instrument. Active steering of the ICI beam allows OmniWELD to seek out defects immediately before, during, and after the welding process. These capabilities are available in a single presentation of the part with little to no additional cycle time or fixturing required.
Laser power meter with stage-mounted detector for periodic verification of power on target. Useful for verifying performance of process head optics and coverslide.
High flow-rate fume extractor for collection of smoke, fumes and air-borne debris.
Hand-held digital motion control unit with umbilical cable allowing manual adjustment of motion system positions
Digital barcode/matrix scanner with interface to system control computer for individual part identification.
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.
While the HMI provides a simple method for the operator to select programs and initiate and control the laser processing task, programming of some functional modules is performed using applications that are called from the main HMI and are only available with engineer level access. These modules will vary depending on the specific tool application, but generally include:
Integration of the individual module control applications with the IPG HMI provides the user with both the convenience of single-screen operation with the benefits of dedicated module control software.
