SLR-TWF Strata Twin Wire Feeder to Suit SLR3000/SLR5000
The Strata Twin Wire Feed Laser Welding System represents the cutting edge of laser welding technology, offering high-efficiency welding for a variety of industrial applications, from high-speed sheet metal joins to heavy plate fabrication. With dual wire feeders independently controlled, this system provides superior welding speed, precision, and versatility for industries where quality and performance are paramount.
- Dual Wire Feeding Technology: Two independently controlled wire feeders offer maximum flexibility, ideal for switching between materials or combining different wire types.
- High Gap Bridging Capability: Fills gaps up to 3–4 mm wide using 2 x 1.6 mm wires, far exceeding the performance of single-feed systems.
- Exceptional Travel Speed: Achieves speeds of 250+ cm/min on thin gauge sheet metal — perfect for automotive, tank, and general sheet metal fabrication.
- Increased Deposition Rate: Delivers 30–80% higher deposition compared to single-wire systems, improving productivity with reduced heat input.
- Wider Weld Seam Coverage: Supports multi-pass layering and wider seam welding, enhancing weld quality and mechanical strength.
- Seamless Performance Across Thicknesses: Performs exceptionally well across both thin and thick materials, from precision sheet work to structural plate welding.
- Reduced Distortion & Heat Control: Lower energy input per wire minimizes distortion, inter-pass temperature, and warping on larger components.
- Cost Efficiency & Fast Material Changeovers: Separate feeders allow for quick wire swaps (e.g., stainless steel & aluminium), reducing downtime.
- X-Ray Quality Welds: Produces clean, reliable, high-strength welds, perfect for high-specification applications that require minimal post-weld finishing.
- Multi-Layer Capability: Ideal for demanding fabrication environments, supporting complex weld builds with multiple passes.
