smart welding Designed for robot-assisted welding applications, this 3D-scan system is capable of swiftly positioning the laser beam along 3D contours. While a robot guides the scan system along a part's contour, the intellil/1/H.D® quickly and accurately moves and fine- positions the laser spot. Complex robotic motions and fast robotic repositioning are thereby avoided, thus reducing positioning times between spot welds to a few milliseconds. The result is a substan- tially enhanced utilization of the laser source. Despite its 30 mm aperture, the intellil/1/EZ.D® occupies a remark- ably small volume, making it easily mountable on welding robots, even in difficult-to-access locations. Its optics are optimized for fiber-coupled disk or fiber lasers with powers up to 8 kW. The intellil/1/fl.D® is based on SCANLAB's fully digital iDRIVE® technology, offering an integrated approach to laser and process safety. The technology allows real-time monitoring of all important scan head status parameters. A software-independent interlock signal indicates abnormal operational states. Typical applications: • Robot-assisted welding ("remote welding")

2 Flange (robot adapter plate) * 4 Attachment provision for strain relief (fiber) 5 Attachment provision for fiber adapter 6 Connector for cooling water 10 Bore holes for attaching an objective holder and a crossjet The laser beam is fiber-delivered to the scan system's water-cooled collimator and then directed to the scan system's moving deflection mirrors. With pre-objective scanning design, focusing of the beam onto the working plane is achieved via a scan objective at the system's beam exit. With post-objective scanning design, focu- sing is achieved via an integrated focusing optic in...

SCANLAB's fully digital \DRIVE® technol- ogy, offering an integrated approach to laser and process safety. It allows real-time monitoring of all important scan head and double protective window status parame- ters. This facilitates detection of process miss-queues and enables advanced remote- diagnostics. A software-independent inter- lock signal, indicating abnormal operational states, can be used to switch the system to a predefined state or trigger an auto- matic emergency stop. • A Teach-in Module simplifies the set- up of laser scan systems for welding jobs. It is permanently installed...
