Automated laser welding of synchronous gears and gear wheels on the ELC 160 laser welding machine

The ELC 160 is a modular laser welding machine that can be configured for the most diverse tasks. The centerpiece of the ELC 160 laser welding machine is a three-axis NC machining module. Stationary process modules are mounted onto the base frame. The individual parts (e.g. gear wheel and synchronous gear) are loaded into the spindle and then transported from station to station. The mounted process modules are stationary and handle the machining of the component. Depending on the required output, the ELC 160 laser welding machine is also available in DUO and TRIO versions. The stations can be operated independently of each another, i.e. different parts can be produced simultaneously.

Technological flexibility in the ELC 160 laser welding machine

The ELC 160 laser welding machine can be equipped with all types of laser technologies. Be it CO2 laser or fiber-guided systems (fibers, discs)—everything is possible.
