When Less Means More: A 200 W Laser Test That Opened the Door to Modernization

Modernizing industrial production is often associated with more powerful, larger, or faster equipment. In reality, true competitive advantage lies not in raw power, but in the quality of the technology, its precision, and its adaptability to real manufacturing processes.

This was clearly demonstrated during our visit to one of the largest sheet metal manufacturers in Poland. The company is constantly seeking solutions that ensure top-quality subcontracted production while helping it stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market.

Laser Cleaning: 200 W Outperforming 300 W

During the visit, the client wanted to compare pulsed laser cleaning technologies. They had already tested another manufacturer’s 300 W device but were searching for a more effective solution. For the demonstration, we brought only the DIODELA 200 W system, yet the results exceeded expectations: when removing powder coatings, the surface was noticeably cleaner than with the competitor’s 300 W device.

This showed that efficiency is not defined by numbers on a specification sheet, but by technological precision, optical quality, and process control. The test became the decisive factor in the client’s decision to invest in the DIODELA 300 W laser cleaning system.

Moving Forward: Robotized Laser Welding

After acquiring the cleaning system, the company decided to take modernization a step further. The success of laser cleaning laid the foundation for the next stage: robotized laser welding, delivering not only higher productivity but also uncompromising precision and complete process control.

DIODELA’s proposal went far beyond a standard welding head. We introduced a fully integrated welding system that unifies all process elements into a single control environment, ensuring consistent quality and seamless operation.

Key Advantages of the Welding System

  • Two-axis scanning welding head – enables stable welding in complex geometries without rotating the entire head.
  • Full integration with robot software – one system manages everything, from welding modes to wire feeding speed.
  • CCD camera – provides real-time seam monitoring and quality control.
  • Seam tracking system – allows the robot to adapt to actual part geometry and maintain precise seam trajectory.

The Value of Modernization

By modernizing with DIODELA solutions, manufacturers gain more than equipment. They gain:

  • Precision, ensuring flawless quality,
  • Reliability, reducing the risk of human error,
  • Efficiency, enabling faster and more cost-effective production,
  • Competitive advantage, essential in today’s subcontracting market.

The DIODELA Vision

Our mission is to ensure that laser technologies are not seen as additional tools, but as strategic drivers of industrial modernization. From pulsed cleaning to robotized welding, DIODELA solutions help clients achieve superior results and establish themselves as innovation leaders in their industries.
