Laser sensor designed for robotic arc welding
- October 9, 2014
- Product Release
- Automation and Robotics
Meta Vision Systems offers the SLS ARC laser sensor for robotic arc welding applications. It is suitable for seam finding and real-time weld seam tracking in all of the typical welding processes, including high-current GMAW and FCAW.
The sensor offers fully automatic image quality optimization, combined with new sensor optics and a mechanical design matched to the requirements of robotic arc welding, the company reports.
The SLS sensor series is the cornerstone of the company’s Smart Laser Pilot (SLPi) system, which employs Ethernet connection from the sensor head directly to the robot controller to provide seam finding and real-time tracking with a simple system hardware architecture.
