PhotonWeld R8-X: Robot Laser Welding

The future of welding isn't hiring more welders.

The future of welding isn't hiring more welders.

New handheld laser welding technology becomes a must. - Automation is no longer optional for welding shops - Robot Laser Welding will be soon the new standard!

The welder shortage is real.

Labor costs are rising. 

Skilled welders are harder to find. 

Cycle times are under pressure.

Lasermach's handheld laserwelding machines combined with our robot/cobot laser welding solutions are our answer — compact, mobile, fast, economical and ecological correct, simple to program, and built around our fiber laser technology.

PhotonWeld handheld fiber laser welders deliver super fast TIG-quality results on steel, stainless, aluminum, copper and much more metals — and any operator can learn it in hours.

Significant productivity gains with our laser welding units

Lasermach provide full predefined units to replace any conventional welding system on any production line or automated machine.

Laser welding is an unknown or unexplored option for many manufacturers with automated welding applications, but it is just as easy to implement as other robotic welding systems. The fast travel speeds and low heat input of laser welding makes it especially well-suited for sheet metal welding applications that require precision and attention to aesthetics.

For operations now using MIG, TIG or resistance spot welding, a switch to laser welding can significantly improve productivity — saving time and money while still producing high-quality welds.  Implementing our Wobble-R units in your exisiting Robot welding line is a piece of cake. It will increase your output, quality and savings while it reduces in extremis the postprocessing of your workpieces!

The Precision Power Laser Welding Process

Laser Modernization: Advancing quality, speed, and drastic cost reduction of existing MIG/MAG and TIG robotic Welding Systems, Without Robot Replacement.

Welding robots significantly help manufacturing companies reduce production costs and greatly improve working efficiency compared to manual welding.

▶First, welding robots run 24 hours a day non-stop without fatigue, breaks, or sick leave. Unlike human welders who can only work 8 hours per day and need rest shifts, robotic welding lines maintain stable output around the clock. For example, in automotive parts production, one welding robot can finish 300 chassis welding pieces per day, while a skilled manual welder can only complete about 120 pieces in the same time. The production efficiency is more than doubled.

▶Second, they cut labor and training costs drastically. Factories no longer need to hire and train a large number of professional welders, nor pay high salaries, insurance and welfare for manual workers. Meanwhile, welding robots keep consistent welding quality with almost no errors, spatter or rework. Manual welding often has defective products due to unstable operation, which wastes raw materials like welding wire, steel plates and gas. A machinery manufacturing factory can save 15%–20% of material waste cost every year after using welding robots.

▶Third, robotic welding lowers later maintenance and safety costs. It avoids work injuries, high-temperature occupational diseases and safety accidents caused by manual welding in harsh high-temperature and smoky environments. Fewer safety accidents mean lower compensation and management costs for enterprises.


In short, welding robots bring higher output, lower labor cost, less material waste and more stable quality, becoming an essential tool for modern factories to upgrade production.
 

WHY INTEGRATE ROBOTIC WELDING CELLS?

How to integrate our laser welding units in your robotisation to improve your welding cell

Robotic welding is one of the most common robotic applications in the industrial sector, being driven mainly by the automotive sector for the last several decades. Robotic welding is most productive when completing high-volume, repetitive welding tasks. With the new flexible robots and cobots small batch production and even single part production is in reach of any robot with Wobble-R Fiber laser welding units from Lasermach.

With robotic welding integration, you can:

  • Decrease Employee Risk to Burns & Hazardous Fumes
  • Increase Quality & Consistency of Welds
  • Decrease Time Required to Finish The Job
  • Decrease Space Needed to Perform Tasks
  • Decrease Labor Costs

with integration of our predefined Wobble-R units, you can:

  • Decrease even more Employee Risk to Burns & Hazardous Fumes
  • Increase Quality & Consistency of Welds
  • Increase drastically the welding speed
  • Decrease Time Required to Finish The Job
  • Decrease on a huge scale the post processing of your welded parts
  • Decrease drastically Labor Costs
  • Decrease Heat-affected zone (HAZ) 

Upgrade the Welding Process, Don't replace your Robot!

Our retrofit or upgrade service kits offer a complete conversion using our latest components rather than just replacing one or two similar parts. This allows you to maintain the best parts if your current system while gaining the benefits of more modern technology.

When your old equipment was highly customized or has complex automation modules, and all the electric and electronic assemblies are out of market, we recommend the trade in pattern to upgrade. 

When you buy spare parts to repair your today's old laser welding equipment, essentially you are replacing individual components such as a power supply, or a controller board with a component of the same caliber. While it’s true this should fix problems that you are experiencing with that particular part, it doesn’t present the increased benefits that newer advanced laser technology may offer.

Our laser upgrade kits offer a more complete conversion using our most current components rather than just replacing one or two parts with the same kind. This allows you to maintain the best parts of your current system while gaining the benefits of more modern technology. It creates a best of both worlds scenario by allowing your older laser to run like some of the newer models. This is the perfect solution for customers that need to stretch their budgets while still gaining significant upgrades that wouldn’t otherwise be possible without buying brand new equipment.

Laser Welding Upgrading Kits from PhotonWeld for TIG/MIG/MAG Welding Robots

Many exisiting industrial laser workstations and robotized TIG/MIG/MAG welding cells retain a solid mechanical foundation, yet their control electronics, safety modules, or welding sources no longer align with current manufacturing requirements. This leads to reduced process stability, limited functionality, quality issues, too low production speed and increasing operational costs.

PhotonWeld provides perfect retrofit solutions that modernize existing MIG/TIG/MAG welding cells without the need for full system replacement. The upgrade involves integrating new-generation laser sources, ultra modern and efficient laser welding heads, advanced control and safety electronics, optional real-time monitoring capabilities, optional real time seam tracking and enhanced automation interfaces.
