The variable inserts for the special tasks of sensor manufacturing can be replaced very easily. This allows you to quickly switch between the different welding and cutting applications.

Insert A – Contact Welding During the welding process, the two parts to be welded are held manually under the laser beam; for example, for welding (sheathed) cables or thermocouples. This insert is used to cut rotationally symmetrical work pieces. The work piece is rotated and cut down to a specified depth around its entire circumference. For example, you can use this insert to cut the covers of resistance thermometers. Recess for feeding through longer work pieces from below, e.g. cables with insulated sheath Exhaustion tube Two grips for quickly changing the insert This insert is also ideal...
