ACAT - Automated Calibration & Alignment Tool

Описание: 🎯 Precision Redefined – with ACAT from Lessmüller Lasertechnik 🎯
Many manufacturers using galvo scanners in their production are familiar with the issue:
After extended operation or under consistently high operating temperatures, the laser focus on the material surface begins to drift.

👉 The consequences:
Unstable weld seams
Insufficient joints
Loss of quality
Increased scrap
And in the worst case: production downtime

While many scanner manufacturers now offer automatic drift compensation or TCP calibration to correct thermal effects and laser focus deviations – the situation becomes more complex when an OCT system for process monitoring is also integrated.
Due to temperature drift, mechanical tolerances, or differing beam paths, positional deviations between the processing laser and the OCT measurement beam can occur.

Internal software algorithms are often used to validate and correct these deviations by automatically aligning and adjusting the TCP (Tool Center Point) of the OCT and processing scanner. However, software-based corrections cannot be relied upon 100% – especially when deviations are caused by heated or contaminated lenses in the beam path.

🔧 The solution: ACAT – Automated Calibration Alignment Tool by Lessmüller Lasertechnik
Our physical calibration unit was specifically developed to ensure precise, automatic, and reproducible alignment between processing and measurement beams – regardless of thermal or optical influences.

💡 And the best part: The ACAT can be integrated into your production line flexibly – either manually or fully automatically. This allows seamless adaptation to your existing system architecture.
