Coherent ExactWeld 230 includes fiber laser, clamping, software for metal parts welding

The new Coherent ExactWeld 230 is a turnkey system for automated, precision laser welding of metal parts. It includes a 200-W (400-W optional) fiber laser, part clamping, up to four axes (X, Y, Z, and C), software, an optional vision system, and factory automation capabilities (Industry 4.0/IIoT-ready).

The system incorporates the company’s SmartWeld™ technology for producing complex “beam wobble” patterns, including circular and zigzag paths. This enables bridging of large gaps, which helps relax tolerances, increase process flexibility, and deliver welds with high quality and reproducibility.
