2 INTRODUCTION

The laser lamp is used for SAW welding with manual joint tracking.

The lamp is mounted in a holder that is fitted to the automatic welding machine. The holder is
provided with a flexible attachment so that the lamp can be adjusted to the desired position in
front of the weld point.

Lamps can be ordered as complete build-in sets, containing all components necessary for
the installation.

The laser lamp contains a low-power laser diode emitting red light at a wavelength of
650nm.

The light point is intensive and visible also in broad daylight.

The laser lamp can be fitted with cables of different lengths.
