Four kW Fiber Laser Robotic Welding System

Amada's fiber laser welder (FLW) is a complete welding solution that is equipped with a unique processing head, offline programming capabilities and productivity-enhancing features.

Amada's fiber laser technology provides process range expansion (PRE) by providing precise, high-speed results even when processing reflective materials such as brass and copper.

The FLW is equipped with a patented rotating lens. With this feature, the laser beam is no longer aligned with a specific point along the target path-instead it circles within a small area as it is welding. A rotating lens makes it possible to bridge larger and uneven gap sizes while producing a clean, even weld.

Additional FLW features:

• Automatic beam focus-Adjusts the focus lens to an optimum setting based on the set welding conditions
• Teaching Assist System (TAS)-Uses a CCD camera to accurately compensate for any deviation from the targeted welding path
• Amada's FLW-CAM software is designed to improve user efficiency through offline robot teaching-simulating movements based on 3-D data
• Reduction in electricity costs due to a high heat exchange efficiency. Maintenance cycles are also improved due to the reduction of mirrors and other optical components.

"The FLW's 4 kW fiber engine produces a laser beam with a wavelength that is approximately one-tenth of that emitted by a conventional CO2 laser-resulting in process range expansion (PRE)," said a company spokesperson.

The AMNC/PC's user-friendly, touch-screen interface simplifies operations and maintenance of the FLW.

The FLW operates within a fully enclosed safety booth to protect users from the shorter wavelengths emitted by a fiber laser. To maximize versatility, the FLW series includes models that vary in enclosure sizes as well as the number of travel carriages and positioning tables.
