SIMPLE AND SUPERIOR LINEAR WELDING

Laser welding is superior to conventional welding in many ways, meeting more demanding requirements at lower costs. It makes it possible to manufacture components of higher quality with virtually no after-weld machining. A much higher level of flexibility and design freedom are achievable, even for different and hard-to-weld materials.

Due to the deep weld effect, only a minimal amount of energy enters the material. This considerably reduces heat input and increases welding speed. Structural changes between the base material and weld seam are minor and the seams can also be reshaped after welding.

The TrumaWeld L1000 is designed to produce high quality linear seams without the need for time-consuming programming. Most welding jobs in the sheet metalworking process are simple linear seams that need to look good and show a high degree of quality.

Cases, containers and housings are prime examples. Whilst welds produced by traditional methods generally need cleaning and reworking to look good the TrumaWeld creates such a weld without the need for any refinishing. Corner and other linear seams are processed quickly as a result of integrated, universal tool-clamping technology, a development of corner clamping. Welding and positioning speeds of up to 10m/min are easily achieved on sheet metal up to 3mm thick.

Programming and set-up times can be kept to a minimum for many applications. This makes it possible to process even small batch sizes economically. The machine combines a universal clamping system for seam geometries with a CNC-controlled linear axis up to 600mm long. This allows the welding optic to manoeuvre to the left and right of its starting position in the centre of the machine.

The workpieces are placed on either side of the support bar and clamped pneumatically. Universal clamp sets and mechanical stops can be used to accommodate various workpiece lengths and disruptive contours. In many cases the patented Twin System which allows reclamping from the left to the right side of the machine eliminates the need to re-set the welding optic while processing.

Applications are programmed quickly and easily. Only a few parameters are needed by the user-friendly teach panel. The machine can also be operated as an additional module within the TRUMPF LaserNetwork, a concept that ensures maximum utilisation of the installed laser source. Using standardised field bus systems, the network enables the energy from one laser to power up to six processing stations.
