Remote Laser Welding for eMobility - Scansonic RLW - S

Copper has excellent conductivity, and therefore, it has wide applications in electric motors, startors, electronics and batteries. Especially with growing trends for Electric Vehicles, the utilization of copper has increased, giving rise to increasing demands for Copper processing applications.

The assemblies used in these applications have numerous small components and sub assemblies. Welding those requires precise position and pattern recognition and precise power inputs.

Oscillating beam is ideal for such processes.

The RLW-S optics is specially developed by Scansonic for this challenging task of welding small Copper components and hairpins.
It uses the same concept of fast moving deflection mirrors for controlling beams, which gives flexibility, precision and speed.

Moreover, it has a camera sensor which is placed coaxially to the laser beam. This camera does the sensing through imaging, recognizes patterns, feeds the inputs to the main control system and accordingly the laser beam weld path is controlled.

ADVANTAGES:

Image sensor system gives precise control over process.
Even highly reflective materials such as Copper can be processed.
According to each application, image recognition data is adapted and optimized by the system.
Even if some components are misplaced from desired position, image recognition and processing identifies the deviation and sets the beam accordingly so as to get correct welding.
