Complete laser solutions to support your production
Innovative laser welding, laser cutting, and automation technologies for sheet metal processing, engineered as turnkey systems that deliver stable production, from feasibility study to full-scale rollout.
Laser Welding Solutions for Demanding Sheet Metal Applications
Successful laser welding depends on more than the laser source. Part geometry, edge preparation, clamping accuracy, material properties, automation, and inspection all influence the finished weld.
Weil Technology brings these elements together in one engineered manufacturing solution.
Our capabilities include:
- Longitudinal laser seam welding
- Circumferential and orbital laser welding
- 3D laser welding and cutting
- Laser welding with cold wire
- Laser-TIG and laser-MAG hybrid welding
- Scanner and Cartesian laser welding
- Automated loading and unloading
- Seam tracking and process monitoring
- Leak testing and optical inspection
- Integrated forming, marking, cutting, and finishing
The result is a stable, repeatable process designed around your component, production volume, and quality requirements.
