Do you value the laser as a flexible and versatile tool, but wonder how the efficiency and process quality can be optimized even further? One possibility is process monitoring, typically by means of acoustic and optical sensors as well as thermal cameras. On the one hand, the state of the art is presented, including modern methods of data acquisition and processing, and on the other hand, concrete examples are used to show the possibilities that already exist today for using process monitoring profitably. Burr formation and roughness during cutting and penetration depth and pore formation during welding can be determined. In addition, the possibilities of AI to automate laser processes in the future will be discussed.

We will also be there, represented by Mr. Richard Steinbrecht (Managing Director) and a specialist lecture on the subject of “OCT as Universal Sensor for Laser Welding in Production” (14.03/ 09:30h AM). Meet us there or make an appointment in advance – simply send an e-mail to sale(at)lessmueller.de
