AMS-INDIA designed Robotic – Laser Wire Additive Manufacturing (LWAM) machine with our patented three Laser Head system.
About Robotic LWAM Cell
Laser Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (LWAM) is an additive manufacturing process that utilizes a laser arc as the heat source to melt a metal wire, which is deposited layer by layer to build up a 3D object. It is commonly used for producing metal parts in aerospace, military and automobile industries.
The LWAM Robotic Cell combines the robustness and agility of the ABB IRB-1200 Robot with the advanced capabilities of Robot Studio software, providing users with intuitive control and seamless integration for precise and efficient operation integrated with a unique patented Laser Head which focuses a maximum of 4.5KW of Laser energy to melt the metal and a wire feeder to deposit the wire in a pre-programmed path to make components.
Paired with the powerful laser and a wire feeder, this system empowers users to achieve unparalleled weld quality and deposition rates in additive manufacturing applications.
