Laser Cell Features
| COORDINATED MOTION FOR PRECISION WELDING | Outboard Servo Positioners allow the parts to be rotated into the desired welding position, maximizing torch access and welding quality. High-performance AC servo motors for precision indexing, load balancing and quick stopping capability. |
| INTEGRATED LASER WELDING PACKAGE | Available configurations include conduction welding and autogenous applications, a fiber laser source for deep penetration welding or cutting applications, optic heads including beam shaping lenses and camera ports if required, a chiller included on a separate skid, and a beam power monitor available. |
| HIGH PRODUCTION /SMALL FOOTPRINT SYSTEM | 60-inch span between the head and tail stock with 1100 lb. capacity on each side. |
| CENTRALIZED OPERATOR CONTROL | The control panel and full color teach pendant provide full system control with diagnostics and programming capability in one central location. |
| LASER SAFETY PERFORMANCE | Class 1 laser-safe enclosure meets ANSI Z136.1, RIA R15.06-2012, UL1740, NFPA 79, and CSA Z434 —no additional guarding required. |
| FULLY PRE-WIRED & PRE-ASSEMLBED | Completely pre-wired and pre-assembled, ready for fast deployment. Easy to locate and connect the utilities. Easy to move with forklift access from the front or rear of the cell. |
| SUPPORTED LASER PROCESSES | Conduction welding and keyhole welding. |
| WIDELY CONFIRGURABLE | A wide configuration allows for a second robot to be added, theoretically doubling throughput with no additional floor space required. |
| RELIABLE SERVICE & SUPPORT | We provide 24/7 customer service and parts support. Backed by MWES’s track record in turnkey automation and long-term support |
