Laser process monitoring

Essen­tial tool for indus­tri­al laser mate­r­i­al processing

Process mon­i­tor­ing for laser weld­ing, laser cut­ting and oth­er laser pro­duc­tion processes

Laser process mon­i­tor­ing plays a cru­cial role in dif­fer­ent indus­tri­al appli­ca­tions, by enabling pre­cise con­trol and qual­i­ty assur­ance for laser-based man­u­fac­tur­ing process­es. With real time mon­i­tor­ing of para­me­ters such as per­for­mance, beam qual­i­ty and posi­tion, it con­tributes to min­i­miz­ing pro­duc­tion errors and increas­ing effi­cien­cy. Laser process mon­i­tor­ing is wide­ly used in indus­tries such as micro­elec­tron­ics, med­ical tech­nol­o­gy and auto­mo­tive indus­try, to ensure high­est pre­ci­sion and reproducibility.

  • It enables real time qual­i­ty con­trol of the laser process­es by detect­ing and report­ing anom­alies such as tears, pores, splat­ter or imper­fec­tions. This can reduce the reject rate and increase productivity.
  • It enables an adap­ta­tion of the process para­me­ters to the work­piece prop­er­ties and the ambi­ent con­di­tions, by sup­ply­ing infor­ma­tion about the weld seam geom­e­try, the weld­ing speed, weld­ing depth and weld­ing per­for­mance. This can improve process sta­bil­i­ty and main­tain tolerances.
  • It enables doc­u­men­ta­tion and trace­abil­i­ty of the laser process­es, by stor­ing and ana­lyz­ing mea­sure­ment data. This can facil­i­tate qual­i­ty cer­ti­fi­ca­tion and increase cus­tomer satisfaction.

Get to know our sys­tems for process monitoring!

The ful­ly auto­mat­ic process mon­i­tor­ing sup­plies reli­able pro­duc­tion data. In addi­tion to our onboard­ing solu­tions for sta­tis­tics, we deliv­er solu­tions for data min­ing of sev­er­al machines and pre­con­di­tioned data for long-term stor­age and trace­abil­i­ty on your IT systems.
 
Our prod­ucts are suit­able for a num­ber of appli­ca­tions – from micro­elec­tron­ics to com­po­nents for e‑mobility. Regard­less of whether the mate­ri­als used are steel, alu­minum, cop­per or com­bi­na­tions of these mate­ri­als, our process mon­i­tor­ing sys­tems are designed to meet the cus­tomer require­ments in ful­ly auto­mat­ic pro­duc­tion lines.
