The Laser Welding Workcell can be equipped with additional options enhancing welding capabilities:

• Welding power source, enabling simultaneous laser and MIG welding
• Filler wire feed module, enabling laser welding with filler wire feeding
• High-power and Mid-power Scanning modules, enabling remote laser welding
• Wobble module: the Wobbler controllably broadens weld seams created with high quality high power focused beams while reducing required laser power. The Wobbler allows high quality welding even in the presence of some gap between the welded parts. The Wobbler improves welding process stability, repeatability and the weld seam aesthetics.
• Seam Finder module: IPG Seam Finder is a modular adaptor for IPG FLW D30 and D50 Welding Head enabling welding seam tracking on fast moving parts. The Seam Finder is provided with IPG software and user interface in flexible configurations meeting specific user requirements. The user interface monitors the seam position allowing user to adjust welding head accordingly.
• Wobble and Seam Finder Modules: providing simultaneous laser beam wobbling and weld seam tracking capabilities.
• Dual-Spot Module: reduces spatter, increases welding speed, and improves weld quality and visual finish when the gap tolerance varies.

Fiber lasers enable reliable, easily controlled welding processes, and are completely maintenance-free. The welding equipment is located in the Class 1 enclosure which provides full personnel safety protection against laser reflected and scattered laser radiation. The welding process can be observed through laser-safe viewing windows, or using an optional vision system. The system is controlled through a PC housed in an IPG control rack.

• Many types of welding including deep penetration welding
• Possibility of welding without filler materials (cost savings)
• Welding without prior edge beveling
• No influence of magnetic fields of welded parts on the laser beam
• Improved laser beam access to hard-to-reach places
• Small volume of molten metal and small thermal exposure area
• Minimal distortion of welded structures
• High strength of welded joints
• High speed joining of different metals regardless of their thickness (from a few micrometers to tens of millimeters)
• Low energy consumption per running unit length of weld seam
