*FLW is the acronym for fiber laser welding.

Fiber laser welding system

Introducing the FLW series!

• Product: White goods panel

• Material: SUS

• Thickness: 1.0 mm

• Product size: 250x200x100 mm

Automatic unfolding to high quality welding of three-directional radius corner

● Present issues

• Bending of vertical radius fold requires for special tools which add to costs.

• Three-directional radius corner cannot be bent- separate parts must be fabricated.

• Welding distorts the product.

• Bend gauging and dimensional accuracy are unstable .

• Post-weld finishing requires much time and labour increasing costs.

● Benefits of integrated processing

• Vertical radius fold can be bent using standard tools.

• Three-directional radius corner can be bent in one hit with special tooling and finished

to a high quality.

• 90 mm backgauge fingers achieve consistent angle accuracy.

• Fibre laser welding reduces the distortion of the product and reduces finishing time.

Fiber laser

Improved welding of highly reflective and difficult

to weld materials

A fiber laser has a short wavelength and high beam absorption against metal. This enables a fibre laser to weld aluminium, copper as well as highly reflective and difficult to weld materials thereby expanding your processing range.

Realise high grade processing

with smooth continuous welding

Continuous waveform (CW) welding produces highly airtight and smooth welds. The NC auto focus control feature enables a wide range of weld processing from appearance to emphasis on deep penetration and strength.

Improved efficiency and reduced costs

A large reduction in electricity costs is made possible due to a high heat exchange efficiency. Maintenance cycles are also improved due to the reduction of mirrors and other optical components.

Beam weaving system

The optic system rotates, therefore rotating the laser beam. Amada’ s patented beam weaving system allows welding of large-gap parts, filler feeding and aluminium processing.

NC auto focus control

The NC focus control feature automatically controls the focus lens to the optimum position based on the processing condition.

This simultaneously enables butt welding with a small beam and radius finishing of corners by focusing on a wide area.

Movable filler and gas nozzle

The filler reel can carry a maximum of 20 kg. The gas nozzle automatically retracts when the TAS function is used (Teaching assist system).

Supporting high quality welding with advanced technology

Dedicated off-line programming software

AMNC/PC

Amada’ s original controller is used to:

•

Download processing programs from CAD

•

Visualize setup information

•

Database of processing conditions

TAS (teaching assist system)

The TAS function saves you the difficult task of manually teaching the robot the welding paths. The deviation between the welding path and target is compensated using a high resolution CCD camera and stored to memory.

FLW-CAM

The AMADA FLW-CAM software improves your efficiency through off-line robot teaching, simulating movements based on 3D data.
