Rofin improves manual laser welding ergonomics, versatility and economy

  • Laser welding
Rofin's Performance represents the company's 7th generation of manual welding lasers. Changes to the cabinet design allow easier use within the production environment and also enhance operational ergonomics. A single access door can be opened, while one hand remains inside the cabinet holding the part to be welded. Rofin has also introduced a large colour touchscreen interface to allow more features to be made available to the operator.

A SpeedMode feature now enables the laser to deliver higher power and faster welding than previously possible, without compromising the overall efficiency. For short bursts, the laser can deliver pulses at nearly double the average power limit to enhance cycle time.

While the system is idle, its Ecomode innovation reduces the electrical consumption to 10 W (from the normal standby of 200 W), dramatically reducing the electrical running cost of the system.
