HP20Y LASER WELDING HEAD (2000W)
Furukawa Single-mode Fiber laser (FES500S-7) 500W
Wire feeding system
Chiller water
Shielding gas
Platform/stage control
PLC control system

Questions:
1. May I know whether the single wobble welding head used for wire laser melting? Is necessary?

2. Based on system shown in diagram below, I planning to do similar system but instead of powder feeder system, I would be using wire feeding system. I have listed the laser power system below. I want some guidance whether these equipment are compatible for this project. I don't have the manufacturer's contact on for all equipment. So, if anyone with background in WLAM or similar experience, Please indeed share your insights and opinion. I am university student whom is still learning my way around this scope of studies. Any guidance is helpful for my final year project

3. If it is possible, can I know how to integrate all of them within a single control system like a PLC comperture system? How to get step by step integration? What kind of software to use to control the system as one?
