The Long Road to Zero Failures in Laser Welding
Laser welding can be further improved with the addition of technologies that monitor, guide, and control. We will cover the laser welding process of today vs latest developments and implementations. Laser weld monitoring, seam tracking, in depth measurements of the keyhole, and complete control of the laser power can all be utilized to ensure a robust process.

Quality Control: Vision Systems vs Light Section Technology
Complex vision systems are often used for quality control, positioning, and alignment of components. These systems can be difficult to set up and operate, and they require highly skilled users. Light section sensors combine the functionality of advanced vision systems with the simplicity of digital-output sensors. They evaluate the complex image data and transform it into a good/bad output. We will give conference attendees a crash course in light section technology and discuss its advantage and disadvantages compared to vision systems.
