Robotic Laser Welding
Laser welding is a versatile process which can be used to weld a variety of materials. Lasers are often used in high-volume production applications as they have high welding speeds and a level of automation that allows 24×7 operation.
The desire for higher output and the use of lightweight materials demands alternative joining methods. These demands can be met with laser welding as low heat input, high welding speed and short weld-to-weld times are characteristic for laser welding.
Cost savings
When using laser welding on products with high production volumes, long welding lengths and/or many sub parts, the cost savings are impressive. These savings are primarily created by the high welding speeds, the quick weld-to-weld times and the fast change-over times.
Uniform quality
The product design needed for successful laser welding, combined with accurate fixture clamping, makes a uniform quality possible. The parameters for laser welding are also easier to determine than, for example, with arc welding, resulting in a reduction of scrap rate.
Product design
With laser welding the accessibility of the weld is much easier in comparison with other welding methods. It also enables the development of new product design, gaining maximum results in weight reduction of the (end) product and the reduction of waste materials.
MIG/ MAG WELDING
MIG/MAG welding process seems that simple but requires specialization due of its varied components and the many errors that can occur. The development of industrial robots for MIG welding requires four different areas of expertise: advanced welding knowledge specialization in robotic equipment, special fixture design, and manufacturing knowledge. As a leading supplier of welding consumables and equipment, we are able to offer highly effective turn-key solutions that combine MLS know-how in welding with our expertise in robotic equipment.
Our development process for robotic MIG/MAG systems:
- Checking material weld ability
- Calculating weld size and welding periods
- Determining production speeds and robot sequence
- Simulating robot reachability
- Selecting a basic fixture structure
- Ensuring alignment with rigorous OHS standards
- Submission of solution proposal
Simple, Fast and Precise Spot Welding With Robotic Technology
Many years of experience in the automotive industry have given us a unique expertise in the development of user-friendly robotic spot welding systems that maximize productivity and occupational safety.
How We Work?
Robotic spot welding applications are used extensively, especially in the automotive industry. Because the automotive industry requires high production rates and faultless production, new robotic spot welding equipment is continually being developed. However, the high mass of system geometries and geometric features of parts to be welded make the robotic spot welding process particularly hard to design.
To this end, we create highly flexible and productive systems that utilize the full capacity of robots and equipment through precise design and assembly. For standard robotic spot welding applications, we calculate welding periods using simulations of design prototypes to get very realistic projections. We also enhance the reachability of spot welding guns and minimize potential risks by designing fixtures into the system. Before pre-installation and testing, we evaluate our technical designs with customers to ensure optimum environmental health and operator-equipment safety.
Clients
From welding of special gears for small batches of gearboxes, to rack-and-pinion steering gear, differentials, cylinder blocks, suspension arm strengthening ribs and advanced devices at the cutting edge of racing technology, you can depend on us to keep your team in pole position. We weld aluminum alloys, steel and titanium and resolve your high-tech welding issues. Prototype work is frequently undertaken.
Standard motors have straight plain output shafts, and need gears or actuators welding on. Laser welding is ideal for its accuracy in aligning the gear and welding it firmly in place, and the low heat input avoids damaging the motor. Cars weld front wing trim actuators and gear selector motors for various teams.
The laser spot welding is an important aspect of laser process technology application. The spot welding process is thermal conduction, i.e. the laser radiation heats the surface of work piece, and the surface heat diffuses to the interior through thermal conduction and melts the work piece by controlling the width, energy, peak power and repeating frequency of laser pulse to form specific molten pool. Because of its unique advantage, it is widely used in the process of gold and silver jewelry and welding of mini and small parts.
Pulse laser welders are electronically compatible and ideal for voltage sensitive applications. Precision automated or manual welding construction can be performed on electronic/industrial components with a high degree of accuracy, while eliminating the potential hazards of heat damage or thermal stress to complex manufacturing materials.
For flat plate solar energy collectors, the aluminium sheet and copper tube is thin, traditional welding will cause irregularity in welding depth, blemish, and destroying the covering film of the collector.
Laser Hybrid welding is a type of welding process that combines the principles of laser beam welding and arc welding. The combination of laser light and an electrical arc into an amalgamated welding process has existed since the 1970s, but has only recently been used in industrial applications.
We manufacture & supply an excellent assortment of our Glove Box Welding Machines, which is widely accepted by our clients all across the globe. Our such range is fabricated from high grade material that makes it more reliable and durable. These machines are very efficient as they are built using advanced technology.
The Pillow Plate (or thermo plate) consists of two steel plates, connected by laser welding. After being welded together, the plate is inflated by using water pressure. The water pressure creates a specific single or double embossed profile – the pillow plate, through which the cooling or heating medium is conducted. While the thickness and the spot pattern is determined by the design pressure.
Tailored blanks are semi-finished parts, which are typically made from sheets with different alloys, thicknesses, coatings or material properties. After joining, these will be subjected to deep drawing or stamping.
It incorporates space saving design and ease of use. Its high cutting speed and very low operating cost makes the most affordable system on the market. The Lasersystem can cut both framed and frameless stencils, without requiring any changeover. The light weight motion system allows excellent positioning accuracy while maintaining cutting speeds that are the highest in its class.
