Laser Seam Stepper (LSS-5M) Overlap Welding System Benefits Approx. 2x Faster than RSW Programmable & Monitored for Reduced Cycle Time Clamping Ensures Reliable Joining High-Strength Weld Increases Part Yield and Offers Potential for Lightweighting Turnkey Proven Process – Fast Time to Production Elimination of Electrodes Improves Weld Consistency & Reduces Costs Features Features Optimized for Welding Linear and Wobble Welds Aluminum, Stainless Steel, for Maximum Strength Coated or Hot-formed Multiple Spot Option for Steel Welding Hot-dipped Steel Integrated Part Clamping Compact, Single-cabinet Simplifies Tooling Controller Repeatable Processing with Multi-Layer Sheet Joining IPG’s Laser Seam Stepper is an automated laser welding system that is faster and lower-in-cost than traditional resistance spot welding, while producing higher strength weld joints. It is designed for welding of car body parts and flat panels such as consumer appliances. IPG's LSS-5M welding head includes linear and wobble scanning optics, together with a programmable and monitored pressure piece. The LSS-Picker is configured for single-side part access, while the LSS C-Gun includes a lower arm to provide a clamping force of up to 3 kN (675 lbs). The associated LSS Controller is a single-cabinet design that includes the fiber laser, chiller, mobile panel and integrated safety controller. Having a laser power of 3 kW, the LSS can be configured for either single-beam operation or with a tri-focal output, having two side-beams enabling welding of hot-dipped car body panels without pores and with minimal spatter. The Seam Stepper can weld a laser wobble seam up to 40 mm in length in half the cycle time of traditional technology, the higher-strength join potentially allowing reduction in flange width and part lightweighting
