What it does:
-
The primary function is to cleanly separate panels joined by laser welding, a process gaining popularity in modern vehicle manufacturing
-
Precision Cutting:
-
Laser weld cutters offer controlled depth and accuracy, allowing technicians to remove the weld without harming the surrounding metal.
-
Repair and Panel Replacement:
-
This tool is crucial for dent repair, especially in areas with laser welds, and for replacing damaged panels that are laser-welded in place.
-
Reduced Damage:
-
By precisely removing the weld, the tool minimizes the need for grinding or excessive cutting, which can distort or damage the surrounding metal
-
Key Features and Benefits:
-
A carbide burr cutting bit is a key component, specifically designed for cutting through laser welds in steel or aluminum.
-
Controlled Cutting Depth:
-
This allows for removal of the weld without cutting into the underlying metal.
-
Efficiency:
