Components
InlineWeld systems consist of an integratable welding head and a separate control cabinet. The welding head contains the:
- Laser entry (collimation block)
- Optics
- Scanner for beam motion control
- Clamping module
- Upper clamp tooling
The control cabinet houses the:
- Laser source
- Chiller
- PLC
- Siemens HMI
- Optional PC
The basic system is completely customizable with optional accessories. Modular construction permits simple and cost-effective adjustment of the system to any type of application by selecting the optimum laser power and optical components. The clamping device is fast and efficient, perfect for a wide range of different components.
Because the control cabinet can be installed in a separate location from the integrated welding head, InlineWeld systems easily fit into pre-existing assembly setup. Comprehensive automation interfaces complete the task.
