Laser Cell Features

Coordinated MotionOutboard 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.
Complete Laser Process Equipment includedAvailable 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 System1524 mm (60 in) span between the headstock and tailstock with 500 kg (1100 lb) capacity on each side.
Integrated Operator Control PanelThe control panel and full color teach pendant provide full system control with diagnostics and programming capability in one central location.
Safety PerformanceClass 1 laser-safe enclosure. ANSI Z136.1-2014 American National standard for safe use of lasers. Designed in accordance with ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012, UL1740, NFPA 79 and CSA Z434.
Ships Fully AssembledCompletely 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.
