Fiber Laser Welder Brings Flexibility to Mold Repair Operations
NPE2024: The Sisma SWA 450 F laser welder targets large or small mold repair, backed by intuitive software functions, a high-energy laser and an adjustable laser arm and head.
The SWA Fiber series by Gesswein is a laser welder offering a maximum working range. This means that the SWA is capable of repairing molds of any size — large or small — which is enabled by an adjustable laser arm and head for flexibility.
Gesswein highlights the Sisma SWA 450 F laser welder in particular. Like those in the series, it has been specifically designed to perform modifications and repairs on molds damaged by wear or use. It is powered by a new-generation Fiber laser source that Gesswein says offers greater energy efficiency and enables high productivity consistently. Moreover the laser welder is maintenance-free, as it does not have any consumable parts.
The laser’s processing parameters are managed through advanced software functions (tracked routes) that make it so any operator can carry out advanced welding operations practically and intuitively. These software functions include welding along circular paths, on inclined planes, filling and the overlap function for executing regular weld seams.
