It is a great opportunity for the Laser Research Group at the University of Lulea to participate in the development of a flexible manufacturing system including a laser welding cell, in co-operation with a small Swedish company. The laser research group have, in the progress of the system build-up, contributed with welding tests of the work-pieces, design of a flexible laser welding cell including fixture units and material handling equipment. We have also given our recommendation of the purchase of a laser-system. This paper presents the planning of this flexible laser processing cell, where the additional advantages with laser welding and flexibility are the main objectives with the installation.
