About

Marek Banasik is a specialist in advanced laser material processing, with a primary focus on laser welding and joining technologies. His research centers on the application of high-power disc lasers for industrial processes, particularly exploring their use as a heat source for cutting and various welding techniques, including deep penetration, hybrid methods, dual-focus beam, and scanning beam welding. A key contribution is his work on automated laser welding with filler material, where he developed a tactile joint tracking system for robotic applications. This system, demonstrated using a Scansonic ALO3 head with a disc laser and robot, enables precise, real-time seam tracking for both laser welding and brazing with wire feed. While his most-cited papers have garnered modest citation counts (up to 8), they represent foundational work in applied laser engineering, detailing practical system construction and control. Banasik’s research is notable for bridging the gap between laser source capabilities and industrial automation, offering concrete solutions for improving weld quality and process reliability in manufacturing environments.
