Laser welding has seen countless applications over the last two decades due to its attractive properties such aslow heat input, high precision and speed as well as versatile and automatic handling. The exploitation of the full applicationpotential of laser welding requires an appropriate manufacturing concept and the corresponding technology. The integration of laser welding (and cutting) into larger manufacturing processes or into stand-alone systems will be demonstrated using examples of ThyssenKrupp Lasertechnik’s experience of over 20 years in this field. More specifically the modular setup of such manufacturing concepts and the different level of automation will be indicated to offer individual solutions for different needs and budgets of small & medium sized as well as large enterprises. The demonstrated applications range from flat sheet, profiles, tubes to rods made from carbon steel or stainless steel.
