Processing heads for laser cutting are available for all types of lasers, e.g. CO₂ and solid state lasers with different laser power and classes of accuracy. Equipped with non-contact and long-term stabilised distance and process sensor systems, these heads achieve optimal cutting quality.

For laser joining Precitec offers processing heads and automated quality control systems as all-in-one complete integrated packages. Before the welding process high resolution cameras detect the position and geometry of the joint by using triangulation principle and grey scale value analysis to move the welding head to the exact point. In-process sensors and cameras then provide information on the welding process stability and any welding defects. Post-process cameras measure the geometry and the surface of the seam.
