About the FDRF627 Smart-Weld Series
The FDRF627 Smart-Weld Series is an industrial laser tracking system designed for use in automated welding robot systems. It supports welding operations in real time through automatic guidance of the welding head, visual process monitoring, and measurement of geometric parameters of both the weld groove and the weld seam. This makes the system ideal for applications where process reliability, consistent weld quality, and repeatable results are critical.
Key benefits
- Automatic control of the welding head position during welding for stable seam tracking
- Visual monitoring of the welding process for quick assessment and fault detection
- Measurement of weld groove geometry for optimal preparation and process adjustment
- Measurement of weld seam geometry for quality assurance, documentation, and traceability
Safety & compliance / Operating notes
- Use only the supply voltage and interfaces specified in the technical data.
- Switch off the scanner and tablet when connecting/disconnecting cables.
- For stable measurement results, allow approx. 20 minutes warm-up time after power-on.
- All devices must be properly grounded.
CE compliance
- EU 2014/30/EU – Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
- EU 2011/65/EU (RoHS) – Category 9
