GSI Lumonics Announces New Focus Head for Welding Applications
FARMINGTON HILLS, MI & RUGBY, ENGLAND, May 2003 -GSI Lumonics
Inc. (Nasdaq: GSLI and TSX: LSI) announces a new series of Luminator(TM) focus heads for use in fiber-delivered industrial welding applications. The new welding head provides a flexible yet simple solution for a wide range of industrial applications, such as welding and heat treatment.
Based on a one-piece machined body, these rugged welding heads are sealed to industrial standard IP55 for work in the most demanding conditions. The heads are available in straight and right-angle form with a CCTV option for the right-angle version. The design carries the focus lens in a separate module for ease of changeover without the need to handle individual optics, thus reducing service times. These lens modules are available with a range of focus lengths to give spots sizes to suit the specific application.
The basic head is ready to accept a range of ancillary items, such as air knives, welding gas nozzles, etc., which have been designed as part of the total processing solution. All of the gas and air connections for the ancillaries run through the head, eliminating any tubing from the processing area to minimize potential damage.
The new Luminator welding heads have precision fixing points for repeatable mounting on robots and other processing equipment. Their lightweight structure makes them suitable for robotic integration and other dynamic applications.
According to Clive Grafton-Reed, Product Line Manager, "The release of the new Luminator welding heads is in line with our strategy of providing the lasers and beam delivery solutions that provide our customers with the best cost of ownership. These robust Process Tools' are designed to provide the highest quality, highest uptime solution for industrial applications."
GSI Lumonics is accepting orders for the new Luminator welding heads now. The welding heads are compatible with all of the company's current and previous JK pulsed and CW lasers as well as the LuxStar® range of pulsed lasers.
