Tube welding system’s controller corrects welding position automatically

Rofin-Sinar Laser GmbH offers the Profile Welding System (PWS) for welding tubes and profiles. This laser welding system has an integrated process sensor for welding gap detection and tracking. Using the weld sensor, the user can observe the welding process while the integrated controller corrects the welding position automatically.

The operator control panel offers clear and easy operation of all important system features, says the company. System parameters and functions, such as laser power, moving axes, or gap monitoring at the workpiece, can be centrally set and controlled. The new motorized axes (Z/X/Y) help make operation more user-friendly and, depending on user requirements, can allow a connection to product databases.

Working in real time, the sensors and linear actuators position the laser beam within a few micrometers of the seam gap while achieving welding speeds of up to 197 FPM.
