focusfinder.pro precisely determines the real focal-point position of a laser beam. It pairs a simple measurement routine with numerical analysis — removing subjective operator judgement and reaching accuracy down to 50 μm*.

In laser welding — and especially with thin copper and aluminium — even a small deviation of the focal point from the work surface translates into an unstable process and weld defects. Standard visual assessment can't resolve that. focusfinder.pro is a complete RMA measurement solution built to pinpoint the real focal position where it actually counts.
*depending on the customer's system configuration.
Camera-class accuracy without camera-class cost or complexity — built for the reality of a production floor with more than one welding machine.
Enough for welding copper, aluminium and other hard-to-weld materials — exactly where pulsed and visual methods fall short.
Engrave a test pattern, capture the plate image, run the automatic analysis. No elaborate installation and no changes to the machine structure.
The result comes from a numerical fit of the Rayleigh curve of the beam caustic — not from a technologist's or operator's eye.
Unlike permanently mounted camera systems, focusfinder.pro moves between stations — lower cost to deploy and to run.
Accuracy close to camera systems at a fraction of the price — lower purchase and maintenance cost.
From an engraved test pattern to a numerical focal-position result — the operator runs the routine, the algorithm does the judging.
The laser writes the designed test pattern across the measurement plate.
The engraved pattern is digitised — the kit produces a clean digital image of the plate, ready for numerical analysis.
The algorithm fits the ideal profile and reports the laser's focal position to 50 μm* accuracy.
Laser welding programmes that demand repeatable focal positioning at the level of tens of microns.
Laser welding across electronics and power electronics — power modules, busbars, cell interconnects and IGBT / SiC components, where focal position must repeat to tens of microns.
Especially effective with small-spot lasers (from 30 μm) — infrared, green and blue sources — where focus tolerance is unforgiving.
Copper, aluminium, stainless steel and their bimetallic joints — processes where a focal-position error leads straight to weld defects.
Engineered for process stability. Built for production reality.
