In the metals industry, lasers are a versatile tool for optimizing work processes: Aligning, separating, joining, inspecting – all these work steps and many more can be completed faster and more efficiently with the right laser solution.
Laser light and metal
Your unbeatable match
In the metal industry, competition and cost pressure are your constant companions. However, by using well thought-out laser solutions from Z-LASER, it is possible to quickly achieve noticeable advantages over the competition. Through visual guidance, laser projectors, positioning lasers and lasers for machine vision make it possible for you to fully utilize machines, optimize process steps, reduce scrap and support employees in the process so that they always know exactly what needs to be done. This not only increases quality and output – it also reduces your costs.

Precise positioning is an essential aspect for a clean result, not only in the production of complex 3D frame and
structural parts. This work step is considerably simplified using laser projectors, which display the exact target
position when tacking components.

When setting up individual work processes, a laser projector helps to guide employees through the setup process by means of easy-to-understand projections that show the positions of supports, clamping devices and components in detail.

[Laser projectors]
When using a laser projector for measurement and inspection tasks, individual inspection steps are projected in a user-friendly manner and in the pre-determined sequence. To select the correct measuring tool, it is marked in the tool magazine by projecting an arrow or frame. This ensures high quality of the inspection results.

Triangulation sensors detect the inside of disorderly loaded wire mesh boxes before each removal and redetermine the arrangement of the parts they contain. This information is then passed to the robot, which can then pick up the next part. A laser projector also reliably displays the corresponding removal tray as well as additional information such as the number of pieces, etc.

Gap and flush measurements with triangulation sensors are performed to check fit accuracy and alignment between two surfaces. In the automotive industry, for example, perfect gaps and flush fit are ensured on every delivered vehicle.

Triangulation sensors automatically and precisely inspect wheelsets as they pass through. Defects on the running surface of the wheels, such as spalling, flat spots, etc., are detected and analyzed by the machine vision system.

After welding/brazing, a robot guides a laser triangulation scanner along the seam. Its three-dimensional contours are captured in real time and compared with an expected shape. Defects are indicated and allow direct rework. At the same time, process problems can be detected at an early stage.

[Laser for machine vision]
In the production of metal profiles and tubes, dimensions or entire profile cross sections must be continuously monitored and measured. Using laser modules, lines are projected onto the profile from all sides and recorded by cameras. The profile of the entire measured object can thus be checked for faulty radii, surface defects or other deviations.

Precise quality inspection is essential in the production of bent parts. By using laser projectors, the exact position of the placed workpiece is determined and the target contour of the component is projected onto the work surface. This makes it possible to see with the naked eye whether the component meets the quality requirements.
