Positioners for Heavy Part Positioning, Manual Welding, and Assembly
HD Positioners from ALM Positioners come with plug-and-play controls and patented motion control that can be fully programmable for one-touch part positioning to streamline manufacturing.
Laser Cladding Services
For repairing damaged components and enhancing surface protection properties for better wear or corrosion resistance, laser cladding services from Alabama Laser use lasers to deposit a layer of material onto a substrate utilizing either powder or wire.
Optical Seam Tracking Manages Critical Welding Concerns
ABB Robotics provides 2.5D or 6D optical seam tracking to manage faster manufacturing processes by compensating for larger part tolerances and increasing material fit-up inaccuracies.
Advanced Cutting Technologies, Software and More
Hypertherm will showcase precision plasma cutting and predictive waterjet technologies, specialty torches and consumables, new versions of ProNest and Robotmaster software, and live demonstrations of the Powermax air plasma system.
Mobile Laser Welding for Very Large Molds and More
Moved into place beside pressing tools, large molds or machine components that must be welded, the ALFlak Max Laser Welding System from Alpha Laser uses a 9 ft long laser arm for significantly large movement radius and added flexibility.
Compact Remote Welding Head for Robotic Laser Welding
For quick welding times and minimal heat input, a FANUC robot welds parts using a robot-mounted, high-speed Compact Remote Welding head controlled by a two-axis servo motor that manipulates the fine-focused beam into a weave shape pattern tailored to the joint and material.
Filler Metal Considerations for Pressure Vessels
Filler metal used in welding pressure vessels must provide the appropriate impact toughness to meet strict design temperature requirements. Let’s examine the challenges of finding filler metal combinations, along with obtaining necessary documentation or testing to support welding procedures that can meet the mechanical properties of A516 Gr 70 plate.
Weld Functions You Should Be Using
Welding and fabrication are complex processes that can greatly benefit from robotic automation. While each application will differ in complexity, the consistent and effective use of certain weld functions can improve quality and enhance productivity while decreasing costs.
