Fortifab Inc. Invests in Cutting-Edge Laser Welding Technology with LightWELD 2000 XR

Fortifab Manufacturing is excited to announce the acquisition of the LightWELD 2000 XR, a state-of-the-art handheld laser welding and cleaning system, further enhanced by integration with a Fanuc robotic arm. This strategic investment significantly expands our welding capabilities and reinforces our commitment to delivering the highest quality, efficiency, and precision to our customers.

At Fortifab Manufacturing, we continuously strive to push the boundaries of what's possible in metal fabrication. The acquisition of the LightWELD 2000 XR, coupled with the Fanuc cobot integration, marks a significant leap forward in our welding capabilities.

Key Benefits for Our Customers

• Unmatched Speed and Precision: The LightWELD 2000 XR welds up to 4 times faster than traditional TIG welding, with exceptional precision and minimal heat input. This translates to faster turnaround times, lower production costs, and superior weld quality for our customers.
• Expanded Material Range: We can now expertly weld a wider range of materials and thicknesses, including stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, nickel alloys, and copper, with thicknesses up to 8mm for most materials.
• Enhanced Consistency and Quality: The Fanuc cobot integration ensures precise and repeatable welding motions, further enhancing part-to-part consistency and overall weld quality.
• Greater Flexibility and Efficiency: The LightWELD 2000 XR's pre- and post-weld cleaning capabilities, combined with the cobot's automation potential, streamline our workflow and increase overall production efficiency.

Unique Capabilities vs. MIG and TIG

• Minimal Distortion: The low heat input minimizes distortion and warping, ensuring the dimensional accuracy of your parts.
• Full Penetration Welds: Achieve full penetration welds without the need for beveling or extensive post-weld grinding, saving time and resources.
• Exceptional Visual Finishes: The laser cleaning functionality produces clean, aesthetically pleasing welds without the need for additional finishing processes.
• Reduced Consumables: The LightWELD 2000 XR uses significantly less wire and gas compared to MIG welding, leading to cost savings.
• Enhanced Worker Safety: The system eliminates the need for high voltage electricity and reduces exposure to welding fumes, creating a safer working environment.

New Horizons for Fortifab and Our Customers

This investment in cutting-edge technology reflects our dedication to providing our customers with the best possible service and quality. The LightWELD 2000 XR and Fanuc cobot integration enable us to take on more complex projects, deliver faster turnaround times, and ensure superior weld quality.
