IPG LightWELD XR
Fibre-laser welding head: clean welds with minimal thermal deformation, lower filler consumption than arc welding and reduced post-weld grinding.

Robotic laser welding
A fibre laser carried by a robot — minimal heat distortion, the exact path at the exact speed, with laser pre- and post-cleaning in the same pass.
What we weld
- Sheet-metal sub-assemblies and frames
- Structural parts built for long cyclic-load service life
- Seams that need little or no post-weld grinding
- Prototype welds and repeatable small series
- Complete assemblies together with our sheet metal and machining
The welding cell
Supervised or autonomous, with vision-guided paths — repeatable welds without the variation of manual work.
FANUC CRX cobots
Several collaborative robots, some on a seventh-axis linear track so one robot covers the whole work envelope — no cell fence needed.
3D camera
Vision-guided weld paths, so the robot follows the real part, not just the nominal model.
FANUC RoboGuide
Weld paths are planned and simulated offline before the first part is clamped.
Why laser instead of arc
- Lower heat input means less distortion and a narrower heat-affected zone.
- Laser pre- and post-cleaning in the same workflow — less manual finishing.
- Less filler material and less grinding than with arc welding.
- A safer exposure profile than arc welding — no UV and no spatter.
How a welding job runs
- 01
Send drawing or model
Material, thickness, joint positions and quantity.
- 02
Joint & path planning
We plan clamping and the weld path, then simulate it in RoboGuide.
- 03
Weld
Laser cleaning, welding and post-cleaning in one workflow — supervised or autonomous.
- 04
Finish & deliver
Or continue to machining and assembly under the same roof.
What we need for an offer
- Drawing or 3D model, with weld symbols if you have them
- Material and thickness of the joined parts
- Quantity, and whether the seam is visible
- The loads the joint has to carry, if known
Frequently asked questions
Is laser welding suitable for my part?
It suits thin-walled and sheet-metal parts where distortion and finish matter. Send us the material and thickness and we will tell you.
Why a cobot rather than a classic robot cell?
A collaborative robot works alongside the operator without a cell fence — repeatable paths for series, quick to set up for one-offs.
Can you also make the parts to be welded?
Yes. Sheet-metal parts come from our TRUMPF line and machined parts from the Mazak, so you receive a finished welded assembly.
Do you weld single pieces?
Yes. Prototype welds and small series are both normal work for us.
