VIRS d.o.o. – Two welding Technologies in One Robotic Cell? LaserFlex Hybrid Makes It Possible
What happens when a single welding process cannot meet all production requirements? Laser welding and MIG/MAG welding each offer distinct advantages, and choosing the right technology depends on the material, component geometry, and required weld quality.
At VIRS, we have developed LaserFlex Hybrid – a robotic welding cell that combines both technologies in a single system. This solution allows manufacturers to select the most suitable welding process for each application without the need for two separate systems.

The solution is designed for companies seeking to:
• increase productivity and production flexibility,
• ensure high weld quality and repeatability,
• optimize the use of production space and equipment,
• automate the welding of different materials and complex components.
Laser welding offers high speed, precision, and low heat input, helping to minimize material distortion and reduce the need for post-weld processing. MIG/MAG welding, on the other hand, uses filler metal and offers greater tolerance to variations in joint preparation.
LaserFlex Hybrid combines the advantages of both processes, delivering consistent, repeatable welding performance – from thin sheet metal to more complex components, and from individual parts to large production batches.
The system features an advanced touchscreen HMI for intuitive operation, while its comprehensive turnkey design enables fast and straightforward integration into production.
Two welding technologies. One robotic cell. More possibilities for your production.
