Abstract:
RobScan – Robot guided remote Scanner laser beam welding - is a new laser beam welding process, which has been developed by Daimler AG. The innovation of the system is the combination of different hardware components and the Daimler developed process technology and control software. It is a new approach in laser beam welding using the known advantages of laser welding and extending it with new possibilities in process technology and a new control system to use all the possibilities of the remote scanner. So it was possible to increase the welding speed and improve the welding quality.
