Robot Brands
Robot selection depends on the required working range, payload, control configuration and project requirements. Available brand options include:
Robotic Welding System
Robotic Laser Welding Machine
PCL robotic welding systems are configured primarily for laser welding. Robot options include KUKA, Panasonic, Yaskawa and FANUC. MAX and Raycus laser sources are available in 1.5 kW, 2 kW, 3 kW and 6 kW options, subject to the selected configuration.
MAG welding can also be requested as an optional process configuration. The right setup depends on the workpiece, joint, material and production requirements.
Laser Welding for Robotic Production
A robotic laser welding cell brings together a robot, laser source, welding head, controls and workholding. These elements need to be selected around the part shape and weld locations. Robot reach, access and part positioning should be checked against the actual workpiece.
Laser welding is the primary process on this page. The final setup depends on details such as material, thickness, joint preparation and production needs. Drawings or representative samples help the engineering team review the application.

Optional MAG Welding
Laser welding is the main process for this system. MAG welding can be selected as an optional configuration when it better suits the material, joint design or production requirements.
The photo shows a welding tool associated with the optional MAG configuration. Confirm the process and equipment arrangement with PCL based on your parts.
Laser welding and MAG welding are presented as process options. Confirm
the requested configuration with PCL; this page does not imply that
both processes operate simultaneously.
Robotic Welding Sample Parts
The examples show different metal components and joint geometries. Weld appearance and process suitability depend on the material, fit-up, joint design and selected welding parameters. Test representative parts to assess your own application.
Robotic Laser Welding System Details
The image shows system components, including the welding head and control equipment. Available equipment depends on the selected machine configuration.
Plan the Cell Around Your Workpiece
Robot Access and Workholding
Robot reach, torch access and workpiece positioning should be assessed against the weld locations. A positioner or external rail may be considered when the part size, shape or working range calls for it.
Process and Part Review
Share part drawings or samples, material and thickness, joint details and production volume. This gives the team a practical basis for discussing the welding process and machine layout.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary process of this robotic welding system?
The system is primarily configured for robotic laser welding. MAG welding can be discussed as an optional process configuration for applications that call for it.
Which robot brands can be selected?
Robot options include KUKA, Panasonic, Yaskawa and FANUC. Confirm the suitable robot model and configuration for your workpiece and project requirements.
Which laser source brands and power options are available?
MAX and Raycus laser sources are available in 1.5 kW, 2 kW, 3 kW and 6 kW options. Confirm the source model and power configuration for the machine being quoted.
Can I choose MAG welding instead of laser welding?
MAG welding is an optional process configuration. Share your material, thickness and joint details so the process can be reviewed for your application.
Can the system include a positioner or rail?
A positioner or external rail may be considered depending on workpiece size, shape and required working range. The layout should be checked against your parts.
What information should I send for a quotation?
Send part drawings or photos, material and thickness, weld locations, part dimensions, expected production quantity and your preferred welding process.
