Coherent PowerLine FL is a fully configured, easy-to-integrate subsystem that delivers a compelling return on investment.
Coherent PowerLine FL offers manufacturers a simple path to deploy advanced laser welding and cutting processes in e-mobility, medical device and electronic component manufacturing, and other industries. The most demanding of these tasks require tight integration of a high-power fiber laser, machine vision and process monitoring, as well as close communication with other manufacturing automation systems.
The design and construction of laser tools for these advanced applications requires a high level of expertise and access to a laboratory for both new application development and field validation.
PowerLine FL turnkey laser solution
Laser Coherent's PowerLine FL is a complete solution that provides manufacturing equipment manufacturers with all the components needed to bring the most sophisticated laser welding and cutting processes into production. It starts with application development support to determine the optimal combination of hardware and software for a specific task. This can include machine vision, process monitoring (such as our SmartSense+), data exchange and many other add-ons and modules. Coherent Labs can then assist in the development and refinement of the process prescription. Finally, we will build the laser machine itself and take care of installation, commissioning and ongoing support throughout its lifetime.
PowerLine FL is more than just a high-precision laser welding solution - it's also peace of mind. That's because it's an integrated suite of applications from a single supplier. This ensures that every piece of hardware and software works seamlessly together, eliminating user concerns about interface issues or device incompatibility. And service for the entire product is provided by Coherent - a single point of contact with a global support infrastructure. So if a problem arises, our customers can avoid time-consuming searches for answers from multiple vendors. Most importantly, they can access diagnostics - and solutions - immediately.
Increased productivity with Laser FrameWork software
The new and innovative Laser FrameWork software suite is available with every system configuration and seamlessly integrates vision and process monitoring functions into one intuitive user interface. The software manages every aspect of process creation, execution and monitoring through a simple, intuitive and visual user interface. Many complex tasks - such as defining processing sequences that include laser operations, inspection and automation - can be accomplished by simply placing individual elements on the job timeline using simple drag & drop operations. Laser FrameWork also provides easy access to all communication and connectivity tools for complete integration into the modern Industry 4.0 manufacturing environment. This allows it to interface with other manufacturing automation systems - for example, to retrieve serial numbers or other product-specific data from an external source - and then use that data to modify the process flow. In addition, this makes it easier to implement documentation and traceability steps within the process workflow.
Get better results faster
PowerLine FL reduces time-to-market for new products, and Coherent Labs' application experts can deliver a proven and guaranteed workflow that delivers consistently great results. In addition, Coherent will reduce downtime and increase productivity by taking responsibility for all our components, backed by global service coverage with high spare parts availability.
