Laser Scanners Optimise Cutting and Welding Processes

Published on : Saturday 06-04-2024

Laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon are used in order to meet the high requirements in automation processes.

Automated processes in the metal industry ensure consistently high product quality and process reliability. In laser welding and laser cutting, the high degree of automation requires extremely precise tool guidance. Laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon are used in order to meet the high requirements in automation processes. They intervene even before the cutting and welding work and create precise 2D/3D profiles. Based on this measurement data, exact tool guidance is possible.

Speed, flexibility and consistently high product quality are required for automated welding and cutting operations in the metal industry. Depending on the manufacturer, the processes can be very individual and complex. Laser scanners from Micro-Epsilon are used to achieve high efficiency. An exact profile of the object to be edited is created before the tool is applied.

Similarly, scanCONTROL can be very useful in 3D scan of components before laser cladding, 3D measurement of components prior to plasma cutting, Optimising weld seams with profile measurements, completely automatic 3D repair welding, etc.

Blue Laser Technology: In addition to the red standard laser, Blue Laser Technology is available for measurements on demanding surfaces. Micro-Epsilon holds a patent for measurements with blue lasers on red-hot glowing objects exceeding 700 °C and (semi-) transparent objects.

Cutting-edge technology for high precision measurements: Micro-Epsilon offers the largest range of high precision displacement sensors, infrared temperature sensors, colour sensors as well as dimensional measurement devices and systems for industrial applications.

As a leading manufacturer of precision sensor technology, we are shaping the future. Our systems are used whenever accuracy and performance are crucial to success. In machine building and automation as well as in satellite technology and in the production of next-generation batteries and computer chips. As a globally active group of companies, we are making a decisive contribution to the world of tomorrow – and have been doing so for more than 56 years.
