Mobile robot system from Alpha Laser for precise laser welding and 3D measurement
ALPHA LASER is a leading manufacturer of laser systems for metal processing, specializing in mobile and stationary solutions for laser welding, laser hardening and powder deposition welding. The flexible and precise machines enable cost-efficient production and repair of components in various industries such as the automotive industry, toolmaking and jewelry manufacturing. The company attaches great importance to safety, quality and customized solutions to meet the individual requirements of its customers.
Mobile robot system with integrated 4 kW fiber laser
The mobile robot system presented here is a world first in sheet metal processing technology. It combines a powerful 4 kW fiber laser with integrated cooling and a self-programmed Siemens control system. This machine offers versatile welding options, including welding with wire or powder. A decisive advantage is its mobility: weighing 1.9 tons, the system can be transported directly to the customer to work on existing machines on site without the need for large lathes or additional linear axes.
3D scanner and automated path planning
Another innovation of this robot system is the integrated 3D scanner, which enables precise measurement of the components. Not only can the components be measured with this scanner, but automated path planning can also be carried out directly on the display. This function facilitates the precise positioning and execution of welding work and increases the efficiency of the entire production chain.
Alpha Laser: Over 30 years of experience in laser technology
Alpha Laser, a pioneer in the field of handheld welding lasers, began over 30 years ago in the dental sector. The first laser was assembled by founder Josef Höllbauer in a garage. As market demands for higher laser power increased, the company continued to develop. Today, Alpha Laser offers advanced robotic solutions with high-performance applications that are no longer limited to specific outputs. Current standards range from 4 to 12 kW, and the demand for powerful lasers continues to grow.
