TruLaser Weld 1000 from TRUMPF made for small-shop automated laser welding

TRUMPF offers the TruLaser Weld 1000, designed to help small companies make the move to automated laser welding. It is suitable for job shops that weld products such as electrical cabinets, sheet metal boxes, and covers.

The system incorporates a collaborative robot with a 6-axis articulated arm that allows it to move quickly and precisely to produce high-quality weld seams, the manufacturer states. The operator guides the robot manually over the seams on the part that need to be welded, pressing a button to mark the relevant waypoints. The software then creates the weld program.

With its compact format and dimensions of 5,200 by 2,200 by 2,800 mm, the system fits most manufacturing facilities and typically can be installed and commissioned in one day.
