Laser Welding & Brazing Inspection
To improve visual weld quality, one must begin with determining the joining processes’ capability to produce good welds day after day even with the inherent variability common in manufacturing plants. The inspection systems can help quantify what this variation is. After improving the process as much as possible, the inspection system is then used to monitor the ongoing quality.
LAS-SCAN/MICRO™
The LAS-SCAN/MICRO™ system is composed of a 3D laser camera, a 2D color video camera, an industrial control unit and an inspection software package. SERVO-ROBOT provides a choice of several 3D laser-camera models adapted to the application, the inspection requirements, the access to the part to be inspected, etc. The LAS-SCAN/MICRO™ system can be interfaced to any special purpose machine or welding robot used today.

DIGI-LAS-MDL/E™
The DIGI-LAS-MDL/E™ is an intelligent modular laser processing system. It integrates a dedicated high precision 3D laser vision system for tracking and weld inspection to an industrially proven laser beam delivery head together into one compact rugged package that offers the perfect solution for the adaptive control of high speed welding machines or robotic laser welding systems. This system has a new generation control unit capable of performing both tracking and inspection functions simultaneously. It includes the capability of welding curved joints and complex 3D parts with either articulated robots or a multi-axes CNC machine.
