What applications is SWT OPEN intended for?
SWT OPEN is a semi-automatic laser welding and mold repair system (class 4 – open), designed for the maintenance and regeneration of medium and small molds and tools, where high precision, repeatability and convenient access to the workpiece are required.
What is SWT OPEN ergonomics?
The SWT OPEN design is designed for both long-term and occasional work – a rigid work platform, stable support, comfortable armrests and front access ensure operator comfort and minimize fatigue even during longer welding sessions.
What does it mean that SWT OPEN is “solid”?
The durable, heavy construction (approx. 530–560 kg) with a high table load capacity (up to 120 kg) and extended axis stroke (X 300 mm, Y 200 mm, Z 320 mm, speed 0.1–25 mm/s) guarantees smooth and precise movement, and the stable platform minimizes vibrations even under maximum load.
What laser sources are available in SWT OPEN?
SWT OPEN can be equipped with 100/150 W Nd:YAG (flash lamp) sources or 150F/300F/450F (1070 nm) fiber lasers, allowing configurations ranging from traditional wire repairs to high-performance fiber processes with a minimal heat-affected zone.
How does software support process repeatability (digital advancement)?
Optimized software simplifies access to welding parameters and paths, ensuring repeatable results; allows you to upload and manage welding recipes, maintain know-how, and monitor process parameters and performance.
What additional digital features does SWT OPEN offer?
The system enables: loading of welding recipes, preservation of know-how, remote diagnostics, process and performance monitoring, and remote assistance thanks to a network connection, which facilitates service support and process supervision from the technology department.
What are the typical work areas and workpiece sizes supported by SWT OPEN?
The maximum workpiece size is approximately 400 × 400 × 320 mm with a load of up to 120 kg, which corresponds to typical medium-sized molds and inserts used in the plastics, die casting and stamping industries.
Does SWT OPEN use Smart Spot technology?
The SWT series – like other semi-automatic SISMA systems – uses Smart Spot technology, which ensures a repeatable welding process thanks to a large depth of focus and stable pulse triggering from the first shots, which reduces the risk of errors when setting the focus.
For which companies will SWT OPEN be the best choice?
SWT OPEN is ideal for tool shops and mold and tool service centers that need a stable, easy-to-use semi-automatic laser welder with the ability to work in an open workspace and full digital integration (recipes, monitoring, remote service).
