AL-Flak
MOBILE LASER WELDING SYSTEM: Flexible and Fast
High Portability and Flexibility of Laser Beam for virtually all possibilities in Laser Welding Application.
Serves the following industries:
- Toolmaking and Molding
- Sheet Metal Processing
- Mechanical Engineering
- Welding and Repair
- Precision Engineering
- Cast Repair
- Spindle and Shaft Repair
- Aerospace and Defense
- Addictive Manufacturing
The ALFlak is an extremely robust laser welding device with a high laser power and large extent of reach.
Movement of the projecting Laser head mechanism allows you to comfortably work on large components – manually or programmed. The slim laser arm can even reach into deep and narrow positions and locations. Uninterrupted welding seams of up to 500 mm in length can be achieved.
Welding time is significantly reduced as constant repositioning of complicated and complex surfaces and edges is eliminated. Automatic wire feeding (LAFet) can be installed with the Alflak.
The ALFlak is available with or without the self-propelled caterpillar track.
Welding wires from 0.2mm to 2mm can be welded- subject to laser power.

ALFlak 200/300/500 Nd:YAG
The flash-lamp pumped laser variant is recommend for users who need high peak pulse power.
This system allows you to work pulsed at up to 100 Hz under visual control. This welding laser is available with 200 or 300 W. The device is operated (laser settings, movement and speed of the axes) via the display. In addition, the laser parameters can also be configured or adjusted during welding by means of the patented multifunctional footswitch. This allows you to remain fully focused on welding, without requiring you to take your hands off the workpiece.
ALFlak 300/450/600/900 Fiber Laser System
The fiber source model is recommended if your application requires a validated process, e.g., if you wish to weld using the CW (continuous wave) method or pulsed, take advantage of deep welding in sheet metal fabrication, or simply if you require maximum average power.
This fiber laser system is available with laser powers of 300, 450, 600, and 900 W. The 300 W or 450 W fiber sources can subsequently be upgraded to twice the performance if your requirements change.
The laser and movement system can be conveniently operated via the intuitive touch screen. In addition, the laser parameters can also be configured or adjusted during welding by means of the patented multifunctional footswitch. This allows you to remain fully focused on welding, without requiring you to take your hands off the workpiece. The WINLaserNC software is also programmed right on the touch screen.
ALFlak Max 250/300 Laser Welder
Laser welding has never been this easy for versatile. With a laser arm almost 2.80m long, the ALFlak Max Laser Welder offers a significantly large movement radius for more flexibility.
The ALFlak Max is available in two versions: a mobile version with a self-propelled caterpillar track or a model that can be moved manually.
The mobile AlFlak Max Laser Welder can be moved in place aside pressing tools, large molds, or machine components to easily reach the equipment to be welded. Once in place, simply aim the laser arm at the weld and start welding.
A rotatable laser head, the unique optional turn and tilt objective, and various focusing lenses ensure that you can reach almost any position on the workpiece with the laser beam. Welding seams up to 340 mm are possible without relocation.
The User Coordinate Controller offers additional ease of use for effortlessly teaching in a slope as a work surface.
