Overview
There are many reasons to consider a laser solution: performance, speed, cost-efficiency and precision. IPG combines laser–material interaction expertise and industrial automation to bridge the gap between laboratory and production. When a standard product cannot meet process requirements, IPG engineers custom systems and tooling tailored to manufacturing lines to deliver repeatable, integrated results.

Capabilities & Services

• Custom design and integration of laser systems for welding, cutting, cleaning, heating/drying, drilling, marking, cladding, brazing and additive manufacturing
• Custom tooling and fixtures: multi-clamp fixtures, quick-change weld fixtures, fixed masks with compliance, lift/staging stations, post-weld test stations
• Robotic integration and EOAT: dual-robot cells, multi-axis servo positioners (2–5 axes), turntables, automated material handling
• Application evaluation, virtual engineering, simulation, process optimization and lifecycle support
