Laser welding
The "laser welding" process is primarily used for welding components that need to be welded at high speed, with a narrow weld seam shape and low thermal distortion.
As a rule, laser welding is carried out without filler material and a so-called "flow seam" is produced. The weld seam is only created by heating the existing materials. This means that no material build-up is created at the joint.
With a robot welding system at our Thuringia site, welding processes of up to eight meters are possible. Robot welding is mainly used in the production of industrial housings in the transportation sector as well as for sculptures in the art sector.
A major advantage of laser welding compared to manual welding is the minimized, concentrated energy input into the workpiece. This results in less thermally induced distortion. However, large gap widths cannot be bridged. It is therefore important that the individual parts can be precisely aligned with each other and are not subject to any tolerances.
