HW Laser Cell Features
| COORDINATED MOTION FOR WELD ACCESS & QUALITY | Servo-driven positioners rotate parts into optimal angles for better weld penetration and consistency. |
| 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-THROUGHPUT IN A SMALL FOOTPRINT | Handles parts up to 1,100 lb per side with a 1,524 mm span—maximizing output in minimal floor space. |
| OPERATOR-FRIENDLY CONTROLS | The control panel and full color teach pendant provide full system control with diagnostics and programming capability in one central location. |
| CERTIFIED LASER SAFETY | Class 1 laser-safe enclosure meets ANSI, RIA, UL and UL1740, NFPA 79 and CSA Z434 —no extra guarding required. |
| PRE-ASSEMBLED FOR FAST SETUP | Completely pre-wired and pre-assembled, eliminates assembly time. Easy to locate and connect the utilities. Easy to move with forklift access from the front or rear of the cell. |
| SUPPORTED LASER PROCESSES | Can be configured for conduction welding and keyhole welding. |
| WIDELY CONFIGURABLE | A wide configuration allows for a second robot to be added – potentially doubling throughput with no additional floor space required. |
