BladeWelder welds challenging alloys

December 2010

After a successful start one year ago, Schunk Laser Technology from Lauffen, Germany, has intoduced a second version of their PSM 400 laser welding machine to the market. With its high-performance laser source, the PSM 400 BladeWelder is particularly designed for welding high-temperature nickel, or cobalt base alloy, an ideal precondition for machining turbine blades and high-alloy tool steels. Moreover, its fibers absorb harmful reflections.

Scalable pulse duration of up to 200 ms The PSM 400 BladeWelder from Schunk Laser Technology is an expert for working with materials which are difficult to weld, as they are used in modern gas turbines. Its highly developed laser welding process allows crack-free, quick and cost-efficient machining of challenging materials. It can be used for manufacturing, for build-up/ overlay and repair welding.

Flexible in use The high-precision laser welding machines of the PSM 400 series are exceptionally flexible in use. They can be used for machining small and large components quickly and comfortably. An electrically height adjustable, double-sided swivelling machine table, as well as a slidable and swivelling laser welding head provide a high level of flexibility in the working area. The operators have access to all the machining, programming and control functions, independent from the workpiece size.

User friendliness The user-friendly look-ahead control unit and the unique teach function for lines, arcs, circles and splines of the innovative family-owned company are quickly adjusted and programmed. High-precision linear and rotating axes assure that the machine is working at maximum precision and repeat accuracy. The welding lines are variably off-set, which produces constant and process reliable laser welding results. The standard machines of the PSM 400 series are also available as a 3-axes CNC machine. On request, it can be quickly and cost-efficiently modified to a 5-axes laser welding machine.

The Schunk Lasertechnik GmbH is the youngest company of the SCHUNK group, the leading expert in clamping technology and gripping systems, and was founded at the beginning of 2010.
