A profitable formula for 3D laser welding, laser welding robots

Within the framework of court operations, for some time that the laser has convinced the users of its advantages. Now it is the turn to welding. At the moment, with their robotic laser welding cells Trumpf offers a cost-effective solution to users who wish to test this technology. His system, six-axis, is equipped with a high-performance HL 2006 solid state laser (d), which provides the robot power laser needed to perform simple welds in three dimensions.

This six-axis system is equipped with a high-performance HL 2006 solid state laser (d), proportional to the robot power laser needed to perform simple welds in three dimensions.

The Trumpf laser robot comes to meet the need, within their range of products based on this technique, a formula for profitable 3D laser welding: this robot is, in many cases, an economical alternative to the linear welding equipment. For this reason, Trumpf has incorporated laser welding robot series products. Equipment can be supplied fully ready for use or easily integrated into a system already existing laser.

In a conventional industrial robot can add up to 30 kg in weight. Laser components come from Trumpf. The robot has been used a system of standard control has been improved through the addition of easy-to-use laser welding components.

The user interface of the control system works with Windows. The system is programmed in the manual control unit or the monitor of the PC with the Trumpf TopS 800 program. The manual drive can be used for educational purposes. The software packages facilitate the adaptation of the welding parameters.

In the field of sheet metal processing, laser welding is a cost-effective option when the source of laser is used to its maximum capacity and provides flexible modules for various welding tasks. The effectiveness of the Trumpf Lasernetwork systems adapts to this intensive use. With the team TrumaWeld L 1000, the companies dedicated to the processing of sheet metal may be linear joints of high quality without wasting much time programming.

Whether it be to manufacture drawers, containers or covers, in the treatment of traditional metal plate, most of welding operations consist in the realization of simple linear joints. Since, also in the majority of cases, these unions are visible in the final product, they must you have a proper appearance and transmit a high degree of quality. Both painted surfaces without paint, is necessary to clean up and revise parts welded through traditional methods.

Trumpf now offers TrumaWeld L 1000, a computer designed specifically for applications of welding laser and fixing this type of pieces. Trumpf engineers have applied known technique of angular fixation with press to laser welding. This team not only substantially increases the welding speed, but also reduces and even eliminates the need to review the parts. Furthermore, it is possible to reach a speed of installation and welding of up to 10 m/min. in sheets up to 3 mm thickness. The time of configuration and programming can also be reduced to the maximum in numerous applications. Because of this, it is possible to process up to small batches of parts cheaply. At the same time, this machine releases a task standardized a multiaxis cell and allows it to be available for the machining of complex components.

So far, the Trumpf Lasernetwork teams have used various universal guidance systems of beams: the robotic cell, Cartesian systems such as the Trumpf Lasercell 1005 cell and even special facilities, such as scanning systems.

With the team TrumaWeld L 1000, the companies dedicated to the processing of sheet metal may be linear joints of high quality without wasting much time programming.

TrumaWeld L 1000 team combines a system of universal fixation for geometric unions with a linear axis controlled by CNC up to 600 mm in length. This allows the optical device of welding moving left and right from their initial position in the Centre of the machine.

The pieces are placed on the bar left or right subject and are fixed by means of pneumatic pressure. Universal subject elements and mechanical brakes can be used to work with pieces of various lengths and irregular contours. When handling bulky components with some outgoing outside, the top subject bar can retire.

In many cases, with the patented Twin System, which allows to set the elements from the left side to the right side of the machine, it is not necessary to restart the optical device during the process. Operations are programmed quickly and easily. It is only necessary to introduce a small number of parameters in the panel, which is very easy to use, and must not create complete numerical control programs.

The team TrumaWeld L 1000 can also function as additional module in the Trumpf Lasernetwork systems. The welding system is based on the principle of the best use of the installed source of laser: laser light is used as decentralised in up to six different modules.

During this process, the energy of the beam source is alternated between the different stages of the process. Control modules and communication with the source of laser is achieved through conventional fieldbus systems.
