Contactlessly welded, narrow and precise weld seams result in smooth, defect-free surfaces and lighter components. Owing to the small amount of melt produced and heat introduced, weld distortion is considerably reduced compared with conventional methods. In most cases, therefore, no postweld work is required, and the welds are extremely strong. The high speed, safety and reproducibility of the production process reduce costs, while at the same time quality is higher. As product portfolios become increasingly individualized, laser welding yields decisive competitive advantages, because the investment in a laser welding system is recouped overall even from small batch sizes.

Specially tailored to the requirements of highest weld quality, process flexibility and stability, the TruLaser Robot 5020 is a standardized, modular robot cell designed for 3D material processing. The turnkey, highly integrated system comprises the laser with optical system, the robot, the mechanical positioning equipment and the safety booth.

TRUMPF Medical Systems has been using the TruLaser Robot 5020 successfully for years to produce its modular operating tables. It is used for making deep welds on components with high strength requirements as well as to produce heat conduction welds with smooth and dense visible weld seams.
