Function description
The filler wire required for the seam during joining also serves as a mechanical sensor. The filler wire is continuously pressed into the joint by the swivel axis and melted in the laser focal point; it positions and guides the processing head precisely over the seam. The additional wire thus forms a wear-free, self-renewing guide tip – directly at the focus of the laser and with consistently high accuracy.
Areas of application
A. Laser soldering brazing and laser welding
B. Steel and aluminum alloys
C. Y-seam at the flare joint
D. Fillet welds at the lap joint
E. Fillet welds at T-joint
Advantages
– Stable process control and highest seam quality through automatic compensation of component tolerances by tactile seam tracking with filler wire.
– Various sampling positions (left / right applications) and different seam geometries are possible in one station thanks to the parametrisable motorised lateral adjustment.
– Industry 4.0 as the new standard for connectivity and intuitive user interfaces with recipes for operating and configuring the optics.
– SCeye® system for highly automated and intelligent process monitoring, as well as for recording all videos and data from the process.
– Integrated 3D weight compensation and force control guarantee high-precision control of the wire pressure forces and enable a processing space of 360 °.
-Shortened start-up times, faster optics changeovers and more efficient service thanks to plug & play in the hardware and interface architecture.
– Easy handling thanks to the optional integration of external functions such as wire feeder, media control, QA systems and direct control of the laser source.
– Individual device configuration thanks to the modular scapacs® system and expandability over the entire product life cycle.
