Laser Snijden: Manufacturing Quality

Aging tests on Klear systems simulate 72,000 torch-on hours in only 21 days. We cycle temperature from –20 °C to +55 °C, ramp humidity 20 %–95 %, and keep the QBH connector live at 100 % duty. No resonator drift beyond ±1 % power is accepted; any shift triggers automatic re-alignment of the JPT source. The test log becomes the birth certificate that travels with every machine.

Beam analysis starts with a 45-second BeamWatch measurement at 1 kW, 2 kW and 3 kW set-points. We map M², caustic length and divergence every 50 mm along the 8 m transport fiber. A 1 % drop in BPP flags a dirty collimator; 2 % forces a full strip-down. The protocol guarantees that the kerf on 20 mm stainless stays within 0.15 mm for the first decade of service.

QC protocols run three loops: incoming component, pre-assembly burn-in, and final 30-part cut matrix. Each loop records kerf width, dross height and edge roughness Ra on 6 mm, 10 mm and 20 mm samples. Cpk ≥ 1,67 is required; anything less opens an 8D corrective report. The last coupon is archived for five years so future audits can reproduce the original beam quality.

Belangrijkste functies en voordelen

Klear Laser defines industrial precision through the integration of superior fiber laser technology designed specifically for high-performance cutting applications. Our systems replace antiquated mechanical cutting and plasma methods with a non-contact process that significantly reduces material waste and eliminates mechanical stress on the workpiece. The result is a clean, burr-free edge that often requires zero post-processing.

The core of our cutting superiority lies in the utilization of premium laser sources from top-tier manufacturers such as Raycus and JPT. These sources generate a beam with a wavelength of 1064nm, which offers an absorption rate in metals that is significantly higher than traditional CO2 lasers. This high absorption allows for rapid processing of highly reflective materials like aluminum, copper, and brass without the risk of back-reflection damaging the oscillator.

We pair these high-efficiency sources with advanced, auto-focusing cutting heads equipped with capacitive height sensing. The cutting head automatically adjusts the focal position in real-time to accommodate varying material thicknesses and surface undulations. High-quality collimating and focusing optics ensure the laser density remains concentrated, creating an extremely narrow kerf width and a minimal heat-affected zone.

To support the optical precision, our machines utilize a heavy-duty, stress-relieved bed structure driven by high-torque servo motors. This rigid framework absorbs vibration during high-acceleration vector movements, ensuring that the precision of the laser source is translated perfectly onto the sheet metal. The combination of a stable optical path and a robust motion system guarantees repeatability down to the micron level.

Technical Specification Comparison

Industriële toepassingen

Klear Laser specializes in industrial laser welding and cleaning systems, not laser cutting (“snijden”). Our core technology focuses on precision joining and surface preparation. Traditional laser cutting applications fall outside our product portfolio.

For automotive, aerospace, and marine sectors, Klear Laser welding solutions are critical for clean, high-integrity joins. We utilize JPT or Raycus fiber laser sources (1,000-3,000W) to achieve deep, stable penetration in structural components. Our integrated wobble welding heads eliminate porosity in aluminum battery housings and exhaust systems while preserving substrate integrity.

Key materials processed with Klear Laser welding systems include:

These applications replace arc welding and riveting, eliminating fumes and mechanical stress. Penetration depth is precisely controlled via laser power modulation and wobble parameters. Substrate safety is maintained through minimal heat input, preventing warpage in thin aerospace skins.
