Laser Welding

Manufacturers are looking for a fast and cost-effective solution for their welding requirements. Laser Welding was designed for the user in mind, to save on long time costs and increase production. Laser welding lowers your consumable costs, increases production efficiency, limits costly welding rework after production, increases weld quality on the finished product and reduces direct labor costs through automation. But, there are complications to making this into a reality. Why is this so hard? The reasons are:

• The smoke created from the Laser Welding Process can be so thick that it actually can diffuse the intended beam delivery and intensity to the part.
• Class 1 enclosures are used for employee safety.
• It is the use of “Light Tight” Class 1 enclosures that make the removal of welding particulate a challenge.

That is why fume extraction is so necessary to making laser welding really work for you. RoboVent custom engineers fume extraction systems for enhanced productivity and employee safety. What RoboVent Fume Extraction really does for you is:

• It decreases dramatically faulty welds on the products being manufactured.
• Creates a cleaner work environment for expensive process equipment and isolates most of the fume to the laser welding cell.
• Reduces the employees exposure to potentially toxic and harmful pollutants.
• Increases plant cleanliness and appearance.
• Helps enable continuous, round the clock operation of this process equipment without disruption.

RoboVent uses their Plaser Series collectors for laser welding applications. With the thick yet small particle type smoke, so much like laser cutting dust, the Plaser Series Dust Collectors are the correct choice.

Without Fume Extraction, Laser Welding has the potential to be hard to economically justify!
