Robot Offers Easy Entry for Laser Welding
July 1, 2015
From simple sheet metal parts to bent profiles, the TruLaser Robot 5020 is designed to provide easy entry into laser welding. "Its innovative and modular system clamps components of different sizes and shapes so the machine can quickly begin the welding process," said a company spokesperson. "Several components can be joined in a single processing step depending on the size of the part. The procedure is the same regardless of whether it is conduction welding or deep penetration welding - long seams or corner connections the fabricator desires."
The TruLaser Robot 5020 is able to share a laser source in a laser network such as a flatbed 2D laser cutting machine. With this capability, the TruLaser Robot 5020 offers a flexible and cost-effective entry into laser welding.
"Once the part is selected and the clamping unit set, a highly productive manufacturing process is the essential next step," said the spokesperson. "While even the standard model of the TruLaser Robot 5020 fitted with a hand-operated turntable will enable high productivity, the optional automatic rotational turntable increases output even further since an operator can set up the next part while the laser is active. The operator is always fully protected from the laser beam and rotational unit while loading and unloading parts. The system only rotates when the internal sensor determines the area is completely clear and free of danger." Additionally, the load-bearing capacity of the rotational unit is 1,650 lbs. per side, allowing for several components to be welded simultaneously.
