LAPRISS Remote Laser Welding Robot System

SeriesJune 2017

(Focal length: 280 mm)

●Low distortion & high-speed welding　 High energy density allows low heat input welding.

●Lower running costs　Energy conversion efficiency is more than 3 times as high as LD pumped YAG laser, which reduces electricity costs.

The laser oscillator is jointly developed with TeraDiode and uses wavelength beam combining (WBC) technology developed by MIT Lincoln Laboratory in the U.S.

Comes with Five Elements for Laser WeldingLaser oscillator, welding processes, software, trepanning head, and laser robot

Weight Reduction, Design Freedom, Higher Rigidity, Shorter Cycle Times, Burn-Through Prevention, Low Distortion

1. Reduced cycle times 2. Weight reduction & more design freedom

3. Higher rigidity

Replacing Resistance Welding

Laser welding achieves reduced cycle times, reduced weight, and increased design freedom.

●One side penetration welding capability Flange for

welding

Elimination of flanges

●Long pitch

●Short pitch

●High-speed head movement & wide radiation area

●One side penetration welding and efficient robot movement reduce cycle times.

●Elimination of flanges reduces weight.●Narrow access capability increases design freedom.

●No pitch limit with no shunt current unlike resistance welding, which allows more welding points and higher rigidity.

Spinning process

Replacing Arc Welding

Laser welding (Spinning process) achieves shorter cycle times, burn-through prevention, gap handling, and low distortion.

Simple and compact. Panasonic proposes replacingresistance/arc welding with laser welding.

1. Reduced cycle times

Application to Stainless Steel and Aluminum

Stainless Steel (SUS430)

●Applicable to stainless steel with low heat conductivity

●Applicable to aluminum with low melting point and low viscosity

●Applicable to aluminum with high thermal conductivity and low viscosity

Spinning process

3. Low distortion

Spinning process

2. Burn-through prevention and gap handling (thin plates)

●Concentrated heat input allows optimum heat input, which is great for thin plates.

●Concentrated heat input suppresses total heat input.

Aluminum (A5052) Aluminum (A1050)

High reflective materials are also supported.Application range of high-precision and high-speed laser welding has been extended.

●Penetration welding capability allows one-pass welding in stead of two-pass welding.
