Fronius LaserHybrid, the laser-MIG welding process from Fronius, combines the advantages of the industrial-scale MIG and laser-beam welding processes, without inheriting the disadvantages. Fronius LaserHybrid offers the excellent gap-bridging ability and easy weld-seam preparation of MIG welding, as well as the low heat input, deep penetration and speed of laser welding. This enables the automated joining of various aluminium and steel components at a speed of up to 8 metres per minute, in superlative quality.

THE ADVANTAGES COMBINED:
/ HIGHER PROCESS STABILITY
/ HIGHER WELDING SPEED
/ GOOD FLOW FROM WELD SEAM FLANKS
/ LARGE WELD VOLUME
/ GOOD METALLURGICAL PROPERTIES

LASERHYBRID WELDING HEAD
At the heart of the LaserHybrid welding system is a compact LaserHybrid head with an integrated MIG/MAG welding torch and laser optics. A robot holder connects the LaserHybrid head to a standard industrial robot. This gives the LaserHybrid head the flexibility it requires to access difficult-to-reach areas of the workpiece. The welding wire can be placed in any position with respect to the laser beam, enabling the joining process to be adapted precisely to the wide variety of weld-seam preparations, outputs, wire types, wire grades and joining tasks.
