HW Laser Cell Features

COORDINATED MOTION FOR WELD ACCESS & QUALITYServo-driven positioners rotate parts into optimal angles for better weld penetration and consistency.
INTEGRATED LASER WELDING PACKAGEAvailable 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 FOOTPRINTHandles parts up to 1,100 lb per side with a 1,524 mm span—maximizing output in minimal floor space.
OPERATOR-FRIENDLY CONTROLSThe control panel and full color teach pendant provide full system control with diagnostics and programming capability in one central location.
CERTIFIED LASER SAFETYClass 1 laser-safe enclosure meets ANSI, RIA, UL and UL1740NFPA 79 and CSA Z434 —no extra guarding required.
PRE-ASSEMBLED FOR FAST SETUPCompletely 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 PROCESSESCan be configured for conduction welding and keyhole welding.
WIDELY CONFIGURABLEA wide configuration allows for a second robot to be added – potentially doubling throughput with no additional floor space required.
