Intelligent laser welding with filler wire
WeldMaster Wire Select - Contactless. Adaptive. Efficient.
The WeldMaster Wire Select is the innovative solution for camera-based laser welding and laser soldering with filler wire. The system combines welding optics, optical seam tracking and integrated quality control to create a high-precision complete system for automated series production.
In contrast to tactile processes, optical seam tracking with a camera enables wear-free, fast and flexible process control - without mechanical sensors or special seam preparation.
The following animation demonstrates camera-based seam tracking.
Flexible joining - without time-consuming seam preparation
Camera-based seam tracking with AI support
In contrast to tactile processes, the WeldMaster Wire Select does not require any special seam preparation for the cored wire along the geometry. The AI-supported WeldMaster software automatically recognizes common joining geometries and regulates the wire feed based on the gap volume.
Adaptive gap bridging
A direct calculation of the slit volume enables precise wire dosing. In addition, the laser power, focus position and power modulation are dynamically adjusted.
Highest process speed
Process speeds of up to 6 m/min are possible thanks to the optical pre-positioning in the feed. Gap changes due to component tolerances or heat input are compensated on-the-fly - for consistent, high-quality weld seams.
WeldMaster Wire Select - your advantages at a glance
Rely on an adaptive, precise and fully integrated system for demanding laser welding processes with filler wire. With state-of-the-art camera technology, AI-supported seam tracking and seamless integration into digital production environments, you can achieve reproducible results at the highest quality level - economically, transparently and reliably.
