IPG's new product full welding process monitoring system will eliminate the risk of scrapping expensive parts

LDD-700 improves welding operations by monitoring the quality and consistency of the welding process, reducing the need for destructive testing of the welding effect of the product, thereby achieving consistency and accuracy. At the same time, LDD-700, with the penetration monitoring capabilities not available in traditional welding monitoring systems, can simplify the quality control process and significantly reduce rework. Through the same beam transmission system as welding, the surface of the material is measured before, during and after welding, and the condition of the part is displayed separately. The infrared laser beam is re-reflected back to the welding head, and then an imaging system that accurately measures the depth of the keyhole is generated; at the same time, the beam is injected into the correct position of the part, which can achieve the same accurate test results as the destructive test. Early detection of errors during the welding process helps manufacturers avoid the risk of scrapping expensive parts .

In addition, IPG will bring a beam-mode tunable laser (YLS-AMB). Unlike traditional fiber lasers that use a single output beam for laser transmission, YLS-AMB allows customers to flexibly change the output beam parameters in a series of applications, arbitrarily combining a small spot, high energy, high brightness core beam and a larger ring beam. This technology has a wide range of applications in cutting, welding and cleaning . In terms of cutting, this technology can be used to process thicker materials and improve penetration and cutting quality. It produces lower spatter when welding certain material combinations and improves the welding quality. At the same time, the outer ring beam helps to clean the material before welding.
