Overview
Taking the laser to the mould
The SISMA SWA F is a semi-automatic laser welding system on wheels, made for the maintenance and repair of large moulds. Its design lets the welding head reach hard-to-access areas, which matters when the part is too heavy or too large to move.
The fully articulated head reaches narrow, deep grooves, internal corners and external edges. The system works on steels, copper and aluminium alloys, cast iron and copper, and with the right filler wire it produces high-hardness overlays, so moulds need no heat treatment after welding.
The 450F model uses a 450 W fibre source at 1070 nm with 4.5 kW peak power and pulse durations from 0.6 to 50 ms or CW. Laser control stays uniform and precise even at low power, and a multifunction console sets the parameters and moves the axes manually.
Applications
Work on large moulds
The SWA F is designed for welding on large moulds that cannot easily be moved.
Grooves, corners and edges
Welding narrow deep grooves, internal corners and external edges.
High-hardness overlays
Building up hard overlays with the right filler wire, without heat treatment afterwards.
Steels and alloys
Welding steels, copper and aluminium alloys, cast iron and copper.
