AL-Q

Built for repeatable, programmed welding

Manual laser welding is fast for one-offs, but it depends on the operator repeating themselves perfectly. Once a part is running in volume, that becomes the limiting factor. The AL-Q closes that gap: welds are programmed once, stored, and run identically every time, with the operator loading and unloading rather than steering the beam.

It remains a genuinely flexible machine rather than a single-purpose cell. Fixtures can be changed over quickly, programs are recalled from the control, and the same station will run a short prototype batch in the morning and a production job in the afternoon.

Features

• Four power levels — AL-Q 150, AL-Q 300, AL-Q 450 and AL-Q 600 — matched to weld depth and cycle time.
• WINLaser 5 control: programmed weld paths, stored parameter sets and repeatable results across shifts.
• Industry 4.0 connectivity via the WINLaser CSP connectivity service package.
• UMATI-compatible interfacing for integration with existing production data systems.
• Closed Class 1 station — no separate laser safety enclosure or exclusion zone required.
• Fixture options engineered around part handling and operator ergonomics.
• Compatible with the AL-DV wire feeder for automated wire-fed welding.

Choosing a power level

Power determines how deep the machine can weld in a single pass and how quickly it gets through a seam. The AL-Q 150 suits fine assembly and thin-section work; the 300 and 450 cover the bulk of general tool, mould and sheet-metal welding; the 600 is the choice where weld depth or cycle time is the binding constraint.

Because the difference shows up in real parts rather than on a specification sheet, GWB's engineers will normally work through a sample component with you before recommending a level. Talk to us about your material, section thickness and expected volumes and we will put a case together.
