May we help?
- Which laser processes can the AL-ROCK perform?
- The AL-ROCK supports seven laser processes in one machine: deep welding, wire deposition welding, wobble welding, laser surface hardening, powder deposition welding, 3D printing and pulse welding. Operators switch between applications by exchanging the laser processing heads.
- What laser source does the AL-ROCK use?
- It uses a 4 kW fiber laser with a wavelength of 1070 nm, offering 4000 W average and CW output in CW and modulated operating modes. The welding spot diameter ranges from 0.8 to 5 mm, and the focusing objective depends on the processing optics selected.
- How is the AL-ROCK moved and set up?
- The AL-ROCK moves on a caterpillar track, so it can be positioned close to large components, and its fully integrated robot needs no additional control cabinet. It is designed to be ready for operation in less than five minutes. Integrated cooling covers short standalone operation, with external water cooling connections for extended use.
- How is the AL-ROCK controlled?
- The system is operated by touchscreen through the ALPHA app, and a dedicated control panel allows direct robot operation and teaching. The fully extended robot arm length is approx. 2118 mm.
- What optional accessories are available for the AL-ROCK?
- Options include the LASERHEAD-P processing head, the LASERHEAD-S scanner processing head, the PTS-ORB 1000 rotary tilting table for loads up to 1000 kg, an integrated powder feeder, a thermal camera with process monitoring, an external cooling system and mobile laser safety equipment.
