Nd: Yag lasers and robots‐ cutting automotive parts on the production floor
Abstract
Describes an automated laser cutting cell used in the automotive industry. The cell has the benefits of fast throughput because of high cutting speeds, adaptability of height sensing, safety of crash protection and flexibility of part modifications via robot path and program modifications. Outlines the feature of the cell which consists of two Nd:YAG lasers with fibre‐optic delivery and two five‐axis robots with trepanning heads, and describes their performance characteristics. Concludes with a summary of the advantages of using a laser cutting cell.
