Improved Laser-Based Seam Finder



Yaskawa Motoman has introduced an improved AccuFast laser-based seam finder for its arc welding robots. "AccuFast enables customers to quickly and accurately locate welding seams using a non-contact laser," said Chris Anderson, Welding Product Marketing Manager. "Our product is faster and more accurate than traditional weld wire touch methods and blends well with all of our newest digital power source interfaces. We offer the broadest range of seam-finding and seam-tracking solutions for arc welding, which our customers use to manufacture their products with fewer defects."

The AccuFast laser seam finder is compact, mounted in-line with the welding torch and compatible with Yaskawa Motoman's thru-arm torch design robots. It features macro job routines for seamless programming. The laser sensor is housed in an enclosure with a pneumatic shutter to protect it from the welding environment. An optional laser target aids in maintaining the sensor TCP and can adjust points if the sensor is serviced.
