Soutrac
Laser welding system for linear, non-linear and curved weld seams.
The Soutrac is an evolutionary welding machine. Soutrac welds individual TWB (welded tailored blanks) with several different welding seams and different metal sheet thicknesses per part in one operation.
The heart of Soutrac is built on a 10 axes welding head that allows to us to weld curved application. The continuously measuring seam tracking and quality control system Souvis® 5000 guarantees a stable welding process for the highest quality requirements. Adaptive gap closing <0.3 mm between the sheet metal is done with additional Soufil® wire.
With the aid of our continuous gap closing and vision system we able to regulate the wire speed to ensure that sufficient material is always present in the melting pool.
