← TechnologyWhich risk increases greatly when the positional tolerance requirements of robotic arm links in automated laser welding are not stringently maintained?
A)Substrate material thermal distortion
B)Laser beam focal shift✓
C)Reduced shielding gas effectiveness
D)Increased power supply instability
💡 Explanation
Laser beam focal shift increases because the Linkage Error Accumulation mechanism means tiny errors in each joint add up, shifting the laser's aim relative to the weldment; therefore the laser misses rather than heats the seam properly.
