Just weld it

LAPRISS (Laser Processing Robot Integrated System Solution) uses the Panasonic servo control technology for controlling the laser trepanning head to generate several welding pattern and beam functions. The system uses Panasonic’s direct diode laser - a worldwide unique laser source with a wavelength of 975 nm-, which is applicable to metal cutting and welding, as well as the rapidly growing next generation thermal processing fields such as 3D printing, surface processing, and multi material processing for (non) ferrous metals.

Panasonic’s patented Wavelength Beam Combining (WBC) technology produces direct diode lasers with high power and a superior beam quality. The laser has unmatched performance in welding and cutting. It also simplifies manufacturing processes by delivering wider process windows, minimizing weld spatter, and increasing processing speeds. However, did you know…? 

LAPRISS’ laser head is lightweight and compact with only 4.5 kg - comparable to 3 average weight pineapples. An advantage of this low weight is to allow the laser head to be mounted to the high-speed compact Panasonic TM series of robots. The result is a complete system with unique compactness and a seamless interface between the process and automation components. Furthermore, servo-motor-adjustable water-cooled lenses are installed within the laser head, which allow for new weld seam geometries without additional robot movement (Trepanning) These lenses are protected with a Φ3cm glass, which can be exchanged very easily, inexpensively and without tools.
