We are pleased to introduce our new FLEX LASE universal laser processing cell. Equipped as standard, with high power, high efficiency fiber laser technology, robot based process articulation, and a wide variety of fixture and tooling options, the Flex Lase system from Wayne Trail Technologies can rapidly change between laser cutting and laser welding modes (including robot/remote welding) by virtue of the fully automatic coupling and de-coupling of multiple laser processing heads located within the workcell. Non-laser based end-of-arm robot attachments can also be used within the Flex Lase system for post-process operations such as inspection, marking, material handling and more.

The system features a one piece ‘unitized’ base and enclosure construction, CDRH class 1 rated, with on-board electrical and pneumatic controls, work area lighting, access door, fume evacuation and filtration. The self-contained design ships as a complete module, eliminating the need for on-site re-assembly. Flex Lase can be ready for your production start-up in your facility in record time. A wide variety of fixturing, loading and unloading options are available to tailor the operation of FLEX LASE to your specific production requirements or material handling preferences. Process development and robot programming can be done pre-shipment if desired, or at your facility, either by your own engineering and manufacturing teams, or with the assistance of our fully trained technical support staff.

A truly universal and flexible approach to manufacturing, FLEX LASE by Wayne Trail Technologies/VIL Laser Systems, provides a ‘total automation solution’ for your upcoming manufacturing needs.

The components that comprise the FLEX LASE design have been carefully selected to provide long life in a harsh environment. The rugged, unitized construction provides a robust platform for accurate robot-based laser processing within a well illuminated CDRH class 1 compliant enclosure. All laser, cooling, electrical, pneumatic and process controls are mounted ‘on-board’ the work-cell for ease of installation and efficient use of floor-space. Full specifications for the system as currently shown, are listed on the following page.

A wide range of options can be specified by the end user to further enhance the configuration of FLEX LASE. Laser type and power can be optimized for ‘job specific’ applications. Robot reach, weight carrying capacity, model or brand can be selected to comply with customer standards or local preferences. Cooling, fume exhaust and process gas supply can be deleted from scope when bulk or plant-wide supplies are available. Our applications team can work with you to develop an arrangement that meets your specific needs or requirements.
