Positioners and Rotary Fixtures for Optimal Weld Access
- Accurate and repeatable positioning of components ensures consistent alignment during laser welding or cutting.
- Smooth and continuous rotary motion enables uniform energy distribution on circular and complex geometries.
- Reduced manual handling improves weld quality, minimizes defects, and increases overall productivity.
- Compatible with cylindrical, domed, and complex-shaped parts used in automotive, battery, and precision manufacturing.
Servo-Controlled Clamping & Press Systems
- Applies uniform pressure during laser welding
- Reduces air gaps and improve weld penetration consistency
Laser Welding Fixtures
- Flexible and adaptable design that supports multiple part geometries, sizes and materials, enabling quick orientation adjustment for accurate weld positioning.
- Designed for controlled clamping to reduce weld-gap variation and heat-induced distortion
- Ensures repeatable joint fit-up, accurate seam positioning and consistent weld penetration across cycles
- Enables faster loading and unloading, reducing cycle time and supporting continuous production.
Together, these automation integrations enable a well-coordinated manufacturing environment where part movement, positioning, verification, and process execution work in sync. Each automation contributes to reducing manual dependency, minimizing process variation, and improving operational reliability. The ability to combine and adapt these systems allows manufacturers to respond efficiently to changing product designs and throughput requirements. This integrated approach supports long-term process stability while simplifying future expansion and seamless upgrades.
