Robotic Laser Welding vs. Laser Seam Tracking: What’s the Difference?

We’ve recently noticed that some customers confuse robotic laser welding with laser seam tracking. Although they are often used together, they serve different purposes.

Robotic Laser Welding
Robotic laser welding is a welding process. A laser beam is used as the heat source to create high-speed, high-precision welds with minimal heat distortion. https://youtube.com/shorts/70_3-zrMi18

Laser Seam Tracking
Laser seam tracking is a guidance technology. A laser sensor scans the joint before or during welding, allowing the robot to automatically adjust its path and compensate for part deviations. https://youtube.com/shorts/cw2LwtVlEQE

They can be used independently or combined to achieve higher welding quality and greater automation.
