WELDING
Metal welding laser machine
 
   
 
 Applications:
  • Spot welding of small canister tubes on cables with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser.
  • One laser unit for three separated welding stations.
  • A cable measuring device of high precision, 50µ on 3000 mm.
  • The canister has to be closed with a perfect circular weld, no leakage accepted.
  • The cable has to be welded to an in length calibrated second cable.
 

 Solutions:
  • Three fibre delivery in time sharing.
  • Three separate welding heads with adapted optics.
  • Viewing cameras on each welding station for visual control, easy positioning and focussing .
  • Each welding station has an X-Y-Z and double rotation axis in order to weld cable to cable and canister to cable.
  • A double linked rotation axis in order to turn both cables simultaneously during the welding.
  • A cable length measuring unit with high precision linear measuring scale.

 Features:
  • Pulsed Nd:YAG system for welding pellets on cables.
  • Laser pulse control for even welding results.
  • Fibre beam transport: 200µ and 400µ.
  • Pulse durations programmable from 0.1 to 20 ms.
  • Shot frequency: 1 to 1000 Hz.
  • Energy selectable from 20 to 50 J/pulse.
  • Three welding units with one laser and one programming computer.

 Benefits:
  • Easy control of the process, all stations are equipped with cameras in order to control the welding during operations.
  • The commanding computer will switch from one station to another and control the whole process.
  • A fourth station was built for the precise measurement of the length of the cable with the canister after the welding (precision of +/- 10µ on 3000 mm) and cut it at a precise length.
