When Laser Seam Tracking Pays for Itself

Seam tracking is not free: it costs cycle time, capital and maintenance. Here is the fit-up threshold where it starts…

Overhead Gantry Welding Station

Overhead-mounted robot on a bridge gantry for long weldments that will not fit inside a conventional cell.

• Gantry span4 500 mm
• Longitudinal travel6 000 mm
• Vertical stroke1 200 mm

Headstock-Tailstock Positioner

Two-tonne servo positioner that rolls the weldment so every joint is welded in the flat position.

• Payload2 000 kg
• Swing diameter1 600 mm
• Centre distance900 – 3 400 mm adjustable

Linear Seventh-Axis Rail

Servo rail that extends the robot envelope along the part, so one robot can serve several stations.

• Stroke2 000 – 12 000 mm
• Carriage payload600 kg
• Repeatability±0.05 mm

Laser Seam Tracking Sensor

Laser triangulation sensor that finds the joint ahead of the arc and corrects the path in real time.

• Measuring principleLaser triangulation, 405 nm
• Standoff95 mm nominal
• Field of view30 mm at standoff

Modular Safety Enclosure

Interlocked fencing, arc screens and validated stop-time measurement supplied with a full safety file.

• Panel height2 200 mm standard
• Panel widths500 – 1 500 mm in 100 mm steps
• Mesh40 × 40 mm, 3 mm wire
