Robotic Laser Welding

Conventional welding methods, such as spot- and arc welding,
reached their mature state a long time ago. As laser welding
starts where traditional welding techniques end, its use can
really set you apart from the competition.
Why start with laser welding?
Laser welding is a versatile process which can be used to weld
a variety of materials. Lasers are often used in highvolume
production applications as they have high welding speeds and a
level of automation that allows 24/7 operation
Lightweight materials and higher output
The desire for higher output and the use of lightweight materials
demands alternative joining methods. These demands can be
met with laser welding as low heat input, high welding speed and
short weld-to-weld times are characteristic for laser welding.
Cost savings
When using laser welding on products with high production
volumes, long welding lengths and/or many sub parts, the cost
savings are impressive. These savings are primarily created by
the high welding speeds, the quick weld-to-weld times and the
fast change-over times.
Robotic Laser Welding
Applications
Uniform quality
The product design needed for successful laser welding,
combined with accurate fixture clamping, makes a uniform
quality possible. The parameters for laser welding are also
easier to determine than, for example, with arc welding,
resulting in a reduction of scrap rate.
Product design
With laser welding the accessibility of the weld is much easier in
comparison with other welding methods. It also enables the
development of new product designs, gaining maximum results
in weight reduction of the (end) product and the reduction of
waste materials.

Laser cutting offers various benefits over conventional
processes, creating flexibility, productivity and reduced material
consumption. One single tool cuts virtually any shape at a high
speed – optimum for small batch sizes and for just-intime
production. The last link in the chain of a laser cutting machine,
the processing optics, is especially important, has the right
cutting head and matching integrated sensor system for every
application. Be that for cutting out 2D components from flat
sheet metal or holes and breakouts from 3D components, or
processing tubes, profiles or beveling cuts, these optics are
employed in the most diverse industrial sectors all over world.
Robotic 3D Laser Cutting
Applications
9
The 3D laser technology can produce extremely accurate and
complex laser cut geometry on angle, box, channel, pipe and tube,
offering increased flexibility as well as rapid turnaround times on
high quality products.
Materials which can be processed include:
 Mild Steel Box, Angle, Pipe, and Channel
 Stainless Steel Box, Angle, Pipe, and Channel
 Aluminium Box, Angle, Pipe, and Channel
Cutting by laser reduces the need for traditional manual process-
es such as sawingor drilling, representing a significant saving to
our customers.

MIG/MAG welding is a process that seems simple but requires
specialization because of its varied components and the many
errors that can occur. The development of industrial robots for
MIG welding requires four different areas of expertise: advanced
welding knowledge specialization in robotic equipment, special
fixture design, and manufacturing knowledge. As a leading
supplier of welding consumables and equipment, we are able to
offer highly effective turn-key solutions that combine MLS
know-how in welding with our expertise in robotic equipment.
Our development process for robotic MIG/MAG systems entails
each of the following steps:
Robotic MIG/MAG Welding
Applications
1) Checking material weldability
2) Calculating weld size and welding periods
3) Determining production speeds and robot sequence
4) Simulating robot reachability
5) Selecting a basic fixture structure
6) Ensuring alignment with rigorous OHS standards
7) Submission of solution proposal

Process
Laser cladding is a deposition welding process in which a layer of
powder is deposited on the substrate material, and the two
materials are fused by metallurgical bonding through the action
of a laser beam. The characteristic features of this process are:
• highly precise, automated deposition of a layer of material
with a thickness varying between 0.1 millimeters and several
centimeters
• metallurgical bonding of the cladding material with the base
material
• absence of undercutting
• low heat input into the substrate
• a wide selection of homologous and non-homologous powder
materials
Robotic Laser Cladding
Applications
• the ability to process virtually any type of metal alloy By
varying the process parameters and selecting different
powder materials, a component’s surface can be either
alloyed or cladded with a carbide or similar coating. Typical
deposition rates lie in the region of several cm2 per minute
for layers with a thickness of around 1 mm.
Applications
The main fields of application are to be found in machine-tool and
plant engineering, and engine manufacturing for the aircraft and
automotive industries. Laser cladding can be used for a wide
variety of purposes, including the application of wear-resistant or
anticor rosion coatings, the repair of worn or poorly machined
workpieces, deposition welding of shaped parts, and the
complete manufacture of 3-D components.

Robotic Laser Hardening
Applications

Hight Production Speed In Dangerous Areas
We want to help you achieve efficient large-scale production without
delays, human error and occupational accidents. Our advanced
systems increase your manufacturing capacity while reducing
manpower, this way facilitating a rapid return on investment.
Lower Labor Costs And Rapid Return On Investment
CNC controlled machinery has replaced manpower in the lathe,
milling, and injection processes; aside from programming, labor
is only used in the loading/unloading of parts. Now, operations
involved in large-scale production are looking for ways to
eliminate the human factor in this simple, repetitive task.
Robotic Machine Tending
Applications
MLS Automation develops systems that maximize productivity
with minimum labor. By removing labor from production space,
machines can be moved closer together and integrated in a
conveyor belt system that uses loading/unloading robots. To
minimize the time needed to load and unload objects and ensure
continuously flowing lines, we analyze the specific parts involved
in manufacturing and design special grippers accordingly for
robots.

Simple, Fast And Precise Spot Welding With Robotic Technology
Many years of experience in the automotive industry have given
us a unique expertise in the development of user-friendly robotic
spot welding systems that maximize productivity and occupation-
al safety.
How We Work?
Robotic spot welding applications are used extensively, especially
in the automotive industry. Because the automotive industry
requires high production rates and faultless production, new
robotic spot welding equipment is continually being developed.
However, the high mass of system geometries and geometric
features of parts to be welded make the robotic spot welding
process particularly hard to design.
Robotic Spot Welding
Applications
To this end, we create highly flexible and productive systems
that utilize the full capacity of robots and equipment through
precise design and assembly. For standard robotic spot welding
applications, we calculate welding periods using simulations of
design prototypes to get very realistic projections. We also
enhance the reachability of spot welding guns and minimize
potential risks by designing fixtures into the system. Before
preinstallation and testing, we evaluate our technical designs
with customers to ensure optimum environmental health and
operator-equipment safety.

Perfectly Designed Fixture Is The Core Of Automation!
Many years of experience in the automotive industry have given
us a unique expertise in the development of user-friendly robotic
spot welding systems that maximize productivity and occupation-
al safety.
How We Work?
Smoothly operating robotic systems require that every part in
the manufacturing process always has the same coordinates.
Hence, fixtures, or fastening devices, are central to the efficient
operation of all automated processes.
MLS Automation designs fixtures to the specific needs of each
process and manufactures them in-house with an expertise
derived from many years of experience in this industry. To
ensure the optimum result every time, we carry out simulations
of fixture design with its intended robotic cell to check for
measurement-geometric errors that might prevent the robot
from operating smoothly. If any adjustments in design are
required,
we make them before manufacturing begins. To ensure the
longest fixture lifetime possible, we select all parts from proven
brands. All these measures help to prevent losses during manu-
facturing from faulty measurement.
