Beam Profiling System for Automated Manufacturing
Description:
BeamWatch Integrated is a fully automated laser measurement system designed to integrate the measurement of critical laser beam parameters on industrial production lines. Based on BeamWatch’s patented, non-contact profiling principle, BeamWatch Integrated offers contactless and simultaneous measurement of all critical laser beam parameters in real time, while its built-in power meter delivers absolute power readings.
Measures all the critical laser beam parameters of the focused beam up to 10 kW power (up to 30 kW on request) Measured laser parameters include:
Waist (focus spot) width and location
Focal shift
Centroid
M2 or K
Divergence
Beam parameter product
Rayleigh length
Beam tilt angle
Absolute power
Fully automated operation
Trend analysis with good/bad signal
Detailed report with time stamp
Works with different types of welding heads without changes to the measurement system
PROFINET/GigE interface (EtherNet/IP, CC-Link on request)
Rugged for industrial production environment
Short measurement time for frequent measurements during shift operation
With its shutter and rugged design, BeamWatch Integrated is a compact and self-contained system that can accommodate different types of welding heads. A variety of interfaces makes it possible to integrate the system into production networks and automated manufacturing lines to facilitate direct transfer of measurement data.
