ScanMaster Plus – System for Highly Dynamic Scanner Welding
Precise beam positioning, maximum speed, and stable laser welding processes for industrial series production
The ScanMaster Plus is a high-performance solution for scanner welding (remote laser welding) in automated production lines. Thanks to highly dynamic beam guidance, weld spots and short seams can be positioned particularly quickly and precisely.
An integrated, coaxial camera with AI-supported image processing detects the workpieces directly during the process and ensures precise alignment of the laser beam—even with component tolerances. The result is stable, reproducible welding processes for high-volume production.
How can productivity and process reliability be improved in scanner welding?
Maximum productivity through highly dynamic beam guidance
Unlike conventional laser welding systems, the laser beam in the ScanMaster Plus is guided by highly dynamic mirrors. This eliminates time-consuming travel movements of the welding head between individual positions.
Weld spots and short seams can be approached with virtually no delay. This significantly reduces downtime and increases productivity—especially in applications with many welded joints.
Stable production processes thanks to integrated sensors and process monitoring
The ScanMaster Plus combines beam guidance, component detection, and process monitoring in a single system. The integrated sensors continuously monitor the welding process and detect deviations early on.
This helps stabilize processes, reduce scrap, and ensure consistent quality even at high production volumes.
Precise Component Detection via AI-Powered Image Processing
A coaxial camera equipped with AI-powered image processing detects the component layout directly within the working area. Welding positions are automatically adjusted without the need for manual readjustment.
This enables reliable processing even when dealing with component tolerances and ensures consistently high welding quality in the production process.
ScanMaster and ScanMaster Plus at a Glance
For many years, the ScanMaster has been an established solution for scanner welding and remote laser welding in industrial series production. The system combines scanner optics, distance measurement, image processing, and process monitoring into a single integrated solution, enabling precise, reproducible, and stable laser welding processes.
The ScanMaster Plus builds on this proven concept and has been specifically developed to meet higher demands for productivity, dynamics, and process reliability. A new scanner platform with optimized path planning enables significantly faster and, at the same time, more precise beam guidance. Weld paths can be executed with precision even at high speeds, which noticeably reduces cycle times and increases system efficiency.
In addition, the ScanMaster Plus expands the saystem with additional functions such as targeted laser cleaning of component surfaces prior to welding. This reduces process fluctuations and sustainably improves seam quality—especially for demanding materials and components.
The ScanMaster Plus is thus the logical next step for all applications where maximum speed, stable processes, and the highest quality are critical.
Maximum Dynamics and Precision in Scanner Welding
The ScanMaster Plus is based on powerful scanner technology for highly dynamic and precise beam guidance. Thanks to the optical positioning of the laser beam, weld spots and short seams within the working area can be approached with virtually no delay.
Optimized path planning combined with intelligent overshoot compensation ensures that the laser beam precisely follows the programmed welding contour even at high speeds. This allows complex geometries to be processed with consistently high quality.
Additionally, further process steps such as laser cleaning of component surfaces can be integrated directly into the machining process. This improves process stability and ensures consistently high seam quality.
For which applications is scanner welding suitable?
The ScanMaster Plus is ideal for remote laser welding applications involving numerous weld spots or short seams, where high speed, precision, and process stability are critical.
E-Mobility and Battery Manufacturing
In the manufacture of battery cells and modules, numerous precise welded joints must be reliably produced, such as in busbars, cell connectors, or hairpins. Thanks to its high dynamics, the ScanMaster Plus enables particularly fast and reproducible processes, thereby supporting stable series production with consistently high quality.
Automotive and Body-in-White
In body-in-white manufacturing, scanner welding is used to produce weld spots and short welds quickly and flexibly. With the ScanMaster Plus, multiple welding positions within the working area can be reached without moving the welding head. This reduces cycle times and significantly increases the efficiency of automated production lines.
Electronics and Power Electronics
When welding electrical contacts, power electronics, or thin-walled metal joints, the highest levels of precision and repeatability are required. Thanks to precise beam positioning and stable focus control, the ScanMaster Plus enables reliable welded joints—even for small components and challenging material combinations.
