Introduction OTC LASER TRACKING SENSOR

The OTC Laser Tracking Sensor FD‑QT / FD‑QTS  is an advanced non-contact seam-tracking camera designed to enhance robotic welding quality and speed.
It uses synchronized laser triangulation to continuously detect weld joint position and gap ahead of the torch, enabling real-time adaptive control during the welding process.

Core Features & Performance

        • Ultra‑high tracking speed:
          Achieves up to 1 000 cm/min, ideal for laser-hybrid and high-speed welding
        • High precision:
          Maintains weld alignment within ±0.4 mm, ensuring superior seam accuracy
        • Real-time torch adjustment:
          Automatically adjusts torch position, angle, and welding parameters based on detected seam dynamics, mitigating defects
        • Look‑ahead capability:
          Laser stripe and integrated camera detect seam features ahead of the weld, enabling proactive path correction and start/stop point recognition.

Integration & Ease-of-Use
Fully controlled via the teach pendant—no PC required. Features live profile display and a library of preset seam geometries, simplifying setup and teaching .
Sensor seamlessly integrates into FD-series controllers and works with OTC welding systems for intuitive, consistent operation.
