Laser welding cell Amada FLW – 4000 M3

Year 2013
Machine hours: about 17.000 h

The FLW is a flexible and highly productive laser welding cell with extensive equipment. The focused laser beam is used as the energy source to melt or join materials.
The laser welding cell consists of a fiber laser with a 6-axis industrial robot that moves on a guide rail.
The parts to be welded are clamped onto a rotary and tilting table.
The safety cabin is equipped with a sliding door to ensure safe working.

Weaving system:
The integrated rotating optics circulate the laser beam. This AMADA-patented system allows for larger gaps, with or without filler material, and even for welding aluminum.

NC focal system
The NC focus system automatically adjusts the optimal focus position for the respective welding conditions. It helps weld simple butt joints as well as hard-
to-reach corners.

Flux-cored wire and intelligent gas supply
Up to 20 kg of flux cored wire can be carried. When using the TAS (Teach Assistant System), the gas nozzle retracts automatically.

TAS (Teach-Assistant-System)
The TAS system eliminates time-consuming manual teaching operations. Any deviation between the programmed and actual seam path is detected by a CCD camera.
