Laser source
Fiber or CO2 laser source integrated with the robot for laser welding, cutting, or marking applications requiring precise beam path control.
Robotic laser processing pairs a laser source, typically fiber-delivered for flexibility, with a robot-mounted processing head that the robot moves along the programmed path while the laser fires according to synchronized power and timing commands. Applications range from welding and cutting to surface marking and cladding.
Because laser processing is highly sensitive to path speed and standoff distance, robot path accuracy and repeatability matter more here than in many other end-of-arm processes, and some cells add a height-following sensor to maintain consistent standoff on uneven parts.
Laser systems carry strict enclosure and interlock requirements beyond standard robot cell guarding, since the beam itself is a hazard independent of the robot's motion.

- What does Laser source do?
- Fiber or CO2 laser source integrated with the robot for laser welding, cutting, or marking applications requiring precise beam path control.
- What does Laser source work with?
- It works with FANUC R-30iB, ABB IRC5, Structured-light 3D scanning, Safety PLC integration.
- What should I watch for with Laser source?
- Requires laser-rated enclosure and interlocks beyond standard guarding. Path speed and standoff distance directly affect process quality. Fiber delivery routing must avoid tight bends within robot motion range.
