Laser Cell Features
| Coordinated Motion | Outboard 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 included | Available 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 System | 1524 mm (60 in) span between the headstock and tailstock with 500 kg (1100 lb) capacity on each side. |
| Integrated Operator Control Panel | The control panel and full color teach pendant provide full system control with diagnostics and programming capability in one central location. |
| Safety Performance | Class 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 Assembled | Completely 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 Processes | Can be configured for conduction welding and keyhole welding. |
| Widely Configurable | A wide configuration allows for a second robot to be added – potentially doubling throughput with no additional floor space required. |
