Remote control welding.

Rofin-Sinar Inc., Plymouth Mich., has introduced a fresh high speed remote welding combination of parts to form a whole (RWS) that replaces conventional and robotically manipulated resistance blot welding processes such as stitch and seam combination of parts to form a wholes A movable optic system, which uses laser beams to direct motion from individual weld location to the nearest lets the 3D welding station spe circle of time times as much as 6X and provide greater access to weld and part locations.

The ability to stir the beam eliminates the ne for mixed mechanisms for workpiece motion. Workholding fixtures can be simpler in design -- the
