AVP seam tracking systems deliver high-precision, automated torch guidance along the joint line. By automatically compensating for component tolerances and thermal deformation, they guarantee consistent, top-tier weld quality while relieving the operator and reducing post-weld rework.
Laser Seam Tracking: Real-time optical detection of joint profile, depth, and gap width with automatic 2-axis torch position correction via motorized cross-slides. Can also be combined with industrial robots.
Tactile / Mechanical Tracking: Robust 1- or 2-axis mechanical guidance with motorized servo cross-slides or a passive spring mechanism for reliable positioning without the need for complex programming.
Edge Detection (Automatic Start & Stop): Integration of machine vision or laser sensors for automatic workpiece start/end recognition and real-time gap width monitoring during welding.
