wireM | coaxial laser welding head | coaxworks
Laser welding head for laser wire deposition, 3D metal printing and additive repair cladding.
Process advantages:
☑ Flexible and direction-independent welding with robust 3‑beam design
☑ Productive processes with up to a maximum of 4 kW laser power and up to 2.5 kg/h deposition rate
☑ Minimal material influence on the workpiece due to precise laser beam
Integration advantages:
☑ Clean, resource-saving and low-maintenance installation solution through 100% utilisation of the filler wire
☑ Reproducible and long-term constant manufacturing quality due to automated mode of operation
☑ Collision protection integrated close to the process to avoid machine damage
The coaxial laser welding head wireM is an interchangeable equipment for robot and CNC laser processing machines. It convinces in research and teaching as well as in the industrial environment with a compact design, simple operability and durable robustness. The latest version offers numerous configuration variants and even more technical interfaces for peripherals.
Integrated functions (amongst others):
> Near-process, coaxial collision protection shutdown
> Three partial laser beams aligned to a triple focus
> Three cross jets and three down jets each for high volume flow in front of the protective glasses
> Compact interchangeable sliders for the three protective glasses of the partial laser beams
> Easily exchangeable wire nozzle for different wire diameters
> Slim and protective gas nozzle close to the process
> Precise XYZ adjustment option for the wire
> Two cooling circuits to the optics and the wire nozzle
Deviating special configurations are possible on customer request.
