Flexible, automated laser welding cell for thin sheet or foil joints

The highly efficient fully automatic machine is designed for overlap welding of thin sheets and foils in series. The max. permissible component dimension is approx. 600 x 400 mm. For the welding of sensitive materials there is the possibility of an improved argon cover incl. root protection. An adjustment of the seam geometry (e.g. for process stabilisation) can be achieved through the targeted use of the scanner's wobble function. The OCT inline process control detects faults (e.g. binding faults and shoot-through). Defective components are sorted out.
