Laser welding in sheet metal fabrication

Laser welding is a consistent development of the sheet metal process chain. The heat input is low and the heat influence zone is minimal at high welding speeds.
Welding connections are both visually and structurally attractive, and faster to make than with conventional processes. Warp is minimized and expensive refinishing is almost completely eliminated.

Laser welding seams are very narrow and have no heat influence zone. This minimizes warping when joining parts.

With heat conduction welding, seams can be made with visible quality. Additional refinishing, like grinding and polishing, are no longer needed.

Only laser welding makes this possible.The laser opens up entirely new design possibilities for component construction.

Simple-to-assemble clamping systems – supported by the TruTops Cell programming system – ensure a narrow joining gap and guarantee reproducibility.
Valves controlled with compressed air or under pressure make automated fabrication a possibility here, too.

Joining guides position the parts to be connected in a defined manner. Reproducible, automatic fabrication is ensured.
