From June 17 to 20, 2025, the 28th Beijing Essen Welding & Cutting Fair (BEW 2025) was grandly held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. As the world’s largest and most influential welding trade show, this year's exhibition spanned over 80,000 square meters and attracted nearly 800 renowned domestic and international enterprises—a 30% increase from previous years. Beijing WeldNavigator® Technology Co., Ltd. (CRNT), a leading provider of laser vision seam tracking systems in China, showcased its flagship products—the teaching-free robotic system and zero-offset seam tracker—at booth E3272, becoming one of the most talked-about exhibitors at the event.
Core Product Highlights
Teaching-Free Robotic System
The teaching-free robotic seam tracker utilizes laser vision technology and advanced image processing algorithms to scan workpieces and identify weld seams without any manual programming or teaching. With the support of AI algorithms, it autonomously generates optimal welding paths, significantly reducing labor costs and setup time.
Zero-Offset Seam Tracker
The zero-offset seam tracker redefines traditional laser seam sensor capabilities by eliminating the need for pre-scanning distances. With high-frequency image acquisition and intelligent tracking algorithms, it achieves micron-level accuracy in seam detection. This enables real-time, high-precision seam tracking, expands application boundaries, and effectively addresses challenges such as seam deviation and workpiece deformation.
