Outstanding Performance and Efficiency: The MLZL weCat3D Sensor for Welding Systems
Fillet weld | V seam | HV seam | Y seam | HY seam | Sealing bead
The compact weCat3D profile sensor with specially developed slimline housing design is mounted directly on the welding torch. The welding system moves along the entire contour of the object during the process. The measured data of the sensor recorded in this way is continuously sent to the controller via the created program in the wenglor uniVision software, which runs on the BB1C509 analysis module. This happens at the same time as the welding process – the weld seam inspection then follows.

- Stable evaluation during the welding process
- Approved interfaces of renowned robot manufacturers for uniVision software
- Reliable complete system consisting of sensor technology, analysis module and software
- High temperatures possible thanks to robust aluminum housing, exchangeable protective screens and integrated cooling
Suitable for All Types of Joints
2D/3D profile sensors can be used for various types of joints.
The configurable uniVision software offers modules and templates specially developed for weld seam tracking, which enables detection of the laser guide point thanks to a special algorithm for all joint types and thus guides the welding unit precisely.
