Initial Situation
In the processing of continuous strip material, conventional resistance welding has mostly been used. While this technology is established, it reaches its limits with increasing demands for process speed, material flexibility, and automation levels. Particularly with several attached punching machines, downtime, higher maintenance effort, and material losses arise.
Solution
To optimize the manufacturing process, a new laser welding machine was developed. The system allows for precise and highly automated welding of continuous strip material and was specifically designed for continuous production operation.
Compared to resistance welding, laser technology offers decisive advantages:
- significantly faster process times
- higher welding quality and process reliability
- lower tool wear
- reduced downtime
- creation of material homogeneity through annealing of the weld seam
- better integration into automated production lines
Economic Benefit
Due to the higher efficiency of the system, significant savings can be achieved in production and maintenance. Especially in productions with several punching machines, there is a noticeable productivity gain. This also allows you to significantly optimize your Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)!
The investment pays off – depending on the number of connected punching machines – generally within about one year.
Result
The developed laser welding machine represents an economically and technologically superior alternative to conventional resistance welding. Companies benefit from higher system availability, reduced operating costs, and sustainably more efficient processing of continuous strip material.
