Meta Vision Systems has introduced the Laser Probe 2000, an automatic weld seam tracking tool. Designed for low cost and simple set-up, and suitable for all welding processes and seam types, the vision-based system is capable of sensing and compensating for any deviation from the programmed weld path. Laser Probe 2000 uses technology that is already proven in Meta’s previous systems, of which over 200 have been installed. It is suitable for new or retrofit installation on TIG, MIG/MAG, submerged arc, plasma and laser welding applications, and can support welding process speeds up to 8 m/min. Typical payback time for such systems is under one year.
