Solutions
Autz + Herrmann invested in a TruLaser Robot 5020. The system is equipped with numerous features that make laser welding easier. "The option of motor-driven focusing was important to us. We can use this to quickly switch between a heat conduction seam with a low welding depth and a deep penetration weld," says CEO Florian Friedrich. Thanks to years of expertise in laser welding, Autz + Herrmann are also considering upstream working steps or fixture design – with assistance from TRUMPF. "We want to continue to develop our competence in future. That is why we attended a seminar on 'Fixture design' at TRUMPF," says Friedrich. The CEO is sure: with laser technology, Autz + Herrmann will be successful in the future as well.
Implementation
The TruLaser Robot 5020 is equipped with a 3-kW disk laser and has a programmable mobile collimator lens which automatically adjusts the focus position within the optics. It also has integrated collision protection thanks to a magnetic coupling on the laser head as well as the optical offline seam sensor system TeachLine. This automatically corrects workpiece and fixture tolerances and secures stable processes.
