Process: Welding

Lasers offer a wide range of welding capabilities such as spot, conduction, penetration and hybrid welding. The good beam quality of the fiber lasers coupled with high CW powers offers deep penetration welding as well shallow conduction mode welding. Laser welding is performed virtually in every industry as it offers numerous benefits such as:

High welding speeds;
Short weld cycles;
Low heat input, low heat affected zone (HAZ- Heated Affected Zone);
Minimal distortion.

Application Examples:

Hermetic welding of pace makers;
Butt welding Titanium panels;
Full penetration welding of transmission gear and shaft assemblies;
Hybrid MIG welding.

Typical Lasers for this application:

YLR SM Series: 100W-1.5kW Single Mode Ytterbium Fiber Laser @1064 nm

YLR HP Series: 500W-20kW Multi Mode High Power Ytterbium Fiber Laser @ 1070nm
