WeldMaster 4.0

Highly accurate tracking of the joining position, intelligent beam guidance and forming as well as online quality control – the WeldMaster 4.0 offers you all this for your automated welding process. This allows you to implement a complete solution in just one welding station, which is designed for the modern requirements of everyday industrial use.

WM Track 4.0 – High-precision measurement of the component position and positioning of the welding unit

The WeldMaster 4.0 Track measures the component position in the immediate vicinity of the welding position contactless, quickly, and with high precision. The joining position and gap are detected and used for high precision control of the welding unit. The intelligent and automated seam tracking detects different joining geometries such as a butt joint, zero-gap, fillet weld in lap joint, and T-joint.

WM Scan and Track 4.0 – Automated welding process with intelligent beam guidance and beamforming

The WeldMaster 4.0 Scan&Track combines tracking with intelligent beam guidance for your automated welding process. The tracking system measures important geometric variables in the immediate vicinity of the welding position, from which the component position, as well as the joining position and gap, are calculated. The measured values are processed by the system control and control beam guidance and forming using galvanometer scanners. Even for components with tolerances, you get stable welding processes and consistent quality at all times and for almost all seam shapes.

WM Scan, Track, and Inspect 4.0 – The automated total solution for your laser welding

Automation of your process

The WeldMaster tracking system measures essential geometric variables in the immediate vicinity of the welding position, from which the component position, joining position, and gap are calculated. The information is processed by the system control, and controls beam guidance and forming by means of linear axis and galvanometer scanner. Even for components with tolerances, you get stable welding processes and consistent quality at all times, and independent of material and seam geometry.

Quality control in real time

WeldMaster 4.0 eliminates the need for an additional quality station in the flow production. You can measure and evaluate many types of defects such as pores, holes, gaps, notches, and weld formations such as convection, seam width, or the general seam geometry for a wide range of seam shapes.

100 % documentation and networking

The data from tracking, process control, and inspection are permanently stored and are available to the user. Even after years, the results of the laser welding process can be queried and traced. By assigning customer and component numbers, 100% traceability is possible. An extraordinary feature of the WeldMaster 4.0 is the combination of several systems to a WeldMaster 4.0 network.
