DE Use of laser technologies in mechanical engineering
PERFECT RESULTS, CLEAN AND EFFICIENT
Laser technologies are an important part of mechanical engineering, both for manufacturing and for repairs. first-class method compared to conventional production methods.
The products from AK Industry offer the best devices and toolsto cover the various and diverse requirements.
Hand laser welding
This technology offers outstanding opportunities for mechanical engineering.
In day-to-day operations, sheet metal joints have to be produced between thick and thin input materials. Long contours, short corner seams, rotationally symmetrical parts and many other challenges have to be overcome.
This is achieved with hand-guided laser welding systems in the thin sheet range up to material thicknesses of 6 mm and up to 12 mm beyond, in order to join aluminium, high-strength structural steels and other materials with virtually no distortion.
In mechanical engineering, hand laser welding thus provides an innovative and very efficient type of joining technology that is visually impressive and delivers better quality with shorter production times compared to conventional welding methods.
Automated laser welding
Mechanical engineering faces economic challenges, particularly with large series orders, because such orders are labour-intensive in production and often mean a high administrative effort to track parts in production and monitor their quality.
The systems from AK Industry not only fulfil these requirements, but also take into account individual wishes from a design, production and application perspective.
Automated laser welding technology therefore offers maximum efficiency for series production applications. This positive cost-benefit effect results from the fact that the throughput of parts is extremely high while maintaining the same quality. The required optically perfect quality can be additionally supported and ensured through the use of monitoring systems and sensor technology.
Laser cleaning
In mechanical engineering, a comparatively large number of weld seams have to be cleaned. However, the necessary cleaning work often begins before welding, for example when aluminium has to be freed from the oxide layer and many other cosmetic operations have to be carried out.
Instead of using chemicals, sand or dry ice, laser cleaning offers a first-class alternative for removing deposits from affected parts quickly, cleanly and without leaving any residue.
Inaccessible areas are hardly a problem any more, as even such areas are cleaned quickly and efficiently and without any harmful effects on the surfaces, as no chemical or abrasive additives are used.
