The Tornadoblade® deflects weld spatter from the point of origin, keeps the space between the optics and the process clean and thus increases the lifetime of the protective glass while drastically reducing the amount of compressed air required.

• better protection of laser welding optic • reduce disruptive factors at formation • allows cycle time reduction (depending on application) • higher welding speed due to more stable welding process • shorter cycle time due to optimized robot path • simplification of weld fixture tooling if applicable • omit of integrated air nozzles

Air knife is used in laser welding applications to prevent optic damage from splatter, requires spop air at 30-80psi. Custom configurations available. Haas part number ANA-100 shown above as part of the laser process head assembly..

2014年10月31日 · A compact nozzle for laser welding is provided that includes an air knife cross-jet to protect the laser optic, coaxially supplied process shield gas and active air cooling in a singular and compact nozzle. Generally, the nozzle includes a mounting interface at a first end to connect to the laser processing device.

The invention provides a laser welding protective air knife device and a use method thereof, aiming at solving the problem of complaint, the device can prevent splashes generated in the...

Integrated Laser Welding Systems are an easy to install solution for applications that require high-quality, high-productivity welding such as EV batteries and electric motor hairpins. A selection of fiber lasers optimized to your part ensures excellent results for automated, non-contact welding with minimal or no required part positioning.

FiberWELD®’s easily accessible, protective cover glass helps extend the life of internal optics. Per the end user’s processing requirements, FiberWELD® can be configured with straight or right-angle fiber input, camera viewing, wire feed, air knife, coaxial nozzle, weld monitoring and special focusing optics (twin spot and rectangular).

Engineered for high duty cycle production welding appli-cations with medium to high-power, fiber-delivered lasers, FiberWELD® HR is a robust head with direct-cooled reflective optics that minimize focus shift. FiberWELD® HR’s easily accessible, protective cover glass helps extend the life of internal optics.

Cross-flow air knife with 360° adjustment; All optics are housed in environmentally-sealed ­compartments to prevent contamination from process smoke and debris; Stainless steel cooling passages; Compatible with all weld-monitoring systems – including the latest technologies
