Laser pilot beam positioning
A coaxial visible laser for optical marking of the work point. It makes visual alignment control easier.
Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action
A laser guiding beam positioning system uses a coaxial visible laser to optically mark the processing point. The laser beam follows the weld pipe and helps determine the exact position of the beam during welding operations.
Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding
Correct laser positioning is crucial for a flawless weld. Misalignment can lead to uneven heating, porosity, or even hot cracking. Visual control via the laser prevents such errors and ensures high weld quality.
Workshop Practice & Instructions
• Ensure the visible guide laser is properly set up and marks the entire weld zone.
• Check laser positioning regularly during welding.
• Make sure the laser beam is not disturbed by the material or other objects.
