  • Laser welder alignment system
    Patent number: 9776278
    Abstract: A laser welder alignment system includes a laser welder, a camera associated with the laser welder configured to capture images of a loaded product within the laser welder, and a controller in communicative association with the laser welder and the camera. The controller receives visualization data from the camera and, based on the visualization data, forms and sends positioning instructions to the laser welder instructing the laser welder so as to position the loaded product at a proper weld start. The laser welder alignment system also verifies proper positioning of the loaded product within the laser welder, and verifies proper rotation of the loaded component by determining whether the rotating product has a wobble that exceeds a pre-defined wobble tolerance.
