The Laser Seam Stepper system is a dedicated solution for overlap welding of different materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, and coated or hot formed steel.
Created by IPG as a faster and more flexible alternative for resistance spot welding, this system provides consistent weld quality at reduced operating costs.
High-Efficiency, High-Quality Overlap Welding
The laser seam stepping (LSS) process produces welds up to 3X stronger than resistance spot welding with faster and easier part fixturing requirements. Higher strength welds allow product engineers to design lighter weight parts, reducing material and processing costs. Laser seam stepping is a virtually wear-free process with no electrodes to replace, allowing for virtually no tool downtime.
Laser Seam Stepper systems feature integrated process monitoring to minimize scrap and improve yield. For industries like automotive, farm and industrial equipment, white goods, and aerospace, IPG Laser Seam Steppers provide consistent, high-strength welds.
Superior Overlap Welding
More manufacturers across every industry are turning to laser welding as they come to rely on process benefits offered only by laser technology.
The Laser Seam Stepper simplifies the laser overlap welding process by integrating an IPG fiber laser with a clamping tool to weld and clamp simultaneously.
