Key Measurements
The system produces a low-power measurement beam through the same optics that deliver the welding laser to rapidly conduct measurements across multiple locations on the part. By measuring the metal geometry and its dynamics in real-time, LDD-700 gives users direct, calibrated access to the metrics of quality that matter to them. Key measurements include:
Keyhole Depth measures inside the vapour channel during the weld to determine actual weld penetration depth in real time
Workpiece height measures the distance between the material surface and the welding optics
Seam Profile measures ahead of the process to look for joint position relative to the optics and gap on the workpiece
Transverse Profile measures the finished weld bead's width and shape
Finished Weld Surface measures the weld crown just behind the melt pool to capture the height of the finished weld bead
