Software and Controls for Robotic Laser Systems
Intelligence That Drives Precision
Behind every world-class robotic laser cell is a software platform that governs precision, adaptability, and quality. Shape Process Automation’s laser control software suite brings all three together — giving manufacturers the ability to design, monitor, and optimize every aspect of laser processing from one integrated environment.
Smarter Process Control
- Offline programming and simulation: Test and validate cut paths, fixture designs, and robot motion before they ever hit the shop floor.
- Closed-loop calibration and correction: Automatically compensates for tool offsets, part position variations, or fixture deflection to maintain dimensional accuracy.
- Process parameter management: Store and recall validated settings for laser power, speed, and focus to ensure consistent results across part styles and shifts.
- Data capture and traceability: Every motion, energy reading, and sensor value can be logged, analyzed, and linked to part serial numbers for full traceability.
Integration Capabilities
- Open architecture connects seamlessly with MES, PLC, and ERP systems.
- Vision and force feedback integration to adapt to real-world variation in part geometry or placement.
- User-friendly HMI allows operators to switch part programs, view real-time status, and run diagnostics with minimal training.
- Predictive maintenance modules use process data to forecast wear and minimize downtime.
Benefits for Manufacturers
- Reduced changeover time and programming overhead.
- Measurable improvements in part consistency and yield.
- Streamlined quality assurance through digital validation.
- Full compatibility with SPA’s hardware, including CO₂, fiber, and NEWTON laser systems.
Empowering Automation Performance
SPA’s software suite doesn’t just control the process — it defines it. By pairing advanced algorithms with the physical precision of robotic motion, manufacturers gain a new level of confidence in their production output and quality stability.
From simulation to real-time monitoring, SPA’s software ecosystem gives you the tools to ensure that every robotic laser system performs at its best — today and over the long term.
