Welding systems for high quality

Imagine always welding to a consistently high quality standard, saving tedious post-processing. Sound good? Compared to manual welding, automated arc welding with the cobot and laser welding offer you an enormous quality advantage. By the way, operation is much easier than you might think. Your skilled welding professionals will become programmers thanks to e-learning. Making everyone a professional right from the beginning.

Welding presents your company with great challenges

How can I find enough skilled professionals?

If the robot welds the standard parts, the specialist has more time for tricky tasks.

How do I achieve consistent quality?

The automated welding cell does not get tired – which makes your quality predictable.

How do I keep and motivate good employees?

Working on a robot is fun, especially when programming is so easy.

How do I save post-processing work?

You weld consistent seams with automated processes. The laser saves a great deal of post-processing.

Looking at weld seams in practice

A conventionally welded component (MAG manually welded)

When components are welded by hand, no two are exactly the same. They are significantly discolored and distorted due to the typically high heat input. The seam is wide and irregular. Distortion and optical quality demand time-consuming post-processing.

MAG-welded component using automated processes

The weld seam is more consistent – and above all, it is the same for each component. The wide seam and high level of heat input - typical for MAG welding - are unmistakable. Depending on requirements, post-processing is required in this case as well.

Laser-welded component

Do you want visually high-quality or extremely stable seams? Then a laser welding system is just right for you. There is often no need at all for post-processing and you can send the result as a finished part. The weld seam in the figure is hardly visible after painting, for example.

We understand the challenges you face

"How do I manufacture to a consistent quality standard?"

In automated welding, every part looks exactly the same. The quality does not fluctuate because the operator needs a break. And reproducible quality is becoming more and more important as the demands of the market increase. In manual welding, this often leads to unscheduled post-processing or dissatisfied customers and complaints.

"How do I save expensive post-processing work?"

With automated welding with TRUMPF, you produce firm, top quality seams. This reduces post-processing dramatically. Particularly with laser welding, mechanical post-processing work such as grinding or polishing is completely unnecessary. This saves grinding wheels and money. Distortion is also minimal with the laser, eliminating straightening work. Not to mention the time advantage the laser provides.

"Will I be able to manage the technology?"

We make it easy for you to get started with automated welding: you can operate many of our machines straightaway, as the user prompts are self-explanatory - e-learning is sufficient at the beginning. The knowledge required is often within the machine itself, for example, welding parameters for common material thicknesses.

Welcome to the WeldGuide

Whether part design, fixture technology or components calculation: we share our expertise in laser welding in sheet metal processing with you in the WeldGuide. For example, for the best welding results, you need the suitable component drawings – you will find information on this in the WeldGuide. Your engineers can use this service for free with a MyTRUMPF account.
