The Benefits of Robotic Laser Welding Over Traditional Welding Processes
Robotic laser welding presents many advantages over traditional welding processes in certain applications. Recent advancements in laser welding technology have made it even more appealing in a wide range of industrial settings. While laser welding is not a replacement for traditional welding entirely, it is better suited for some parts.
So, what recent advancements in laser welding have made this technology more viable for manufacturers? And what are the benefits of laser welding over traditional welding processes?
Advances in Robotic Laser Welding Technology
Some of the most meaningful advances in laser welding technology have actually been from vision technology. Scanner optical configurations, scanner controls, and real-time interfaces for optical sensors enable laser welding in far more complex applications.
Laser welding is inherently more precise than traditional welding. When combined with an advanced 3D vision system, welding accuracy increases exponentially, even for high volume, multi-pass parts.
