General
The laser welding head combines the bene-
fits of a laser beam with the benefits of the
MIG/MAG welding process.
For the LaserHybrid process this results in
a high penetration depth, a narrow heat-af-
fected zone, filler metal and good gap brid-
ging.
Additional benefits of the laser welding head:
-
high welding speed and great cost-effectiveness
- high process stability combined with a low level of rejects and reworking effort
- high quality weld seam
- low heat input, reduced distortion
- high availability of the welding system, high service life of the wearing parts
- flexible use
- high gap tolerance
- adaptation for fiber, disk, and diode laser possible.
Intended Use The WF 25i LaserHybrid 10 kW is designed exclusively for automated MIG/MAG welding
in connection with Fronius system components.

Following all the instructions in these operating instructions for the individual compo-
nents
- Carrying out all the specified inspection and servicing work
The WF 25i LaserHybrid 10 kW will be referred to as the "laser welding head" in the rest
of these Operating Instructions.
