Laser Welding is a welding technique used to join multiple pieces of metal through the use of a laser. A laser produces a beam of high-intensity light which is focused into a single spot to provide a concentrated heat source, allowing narrow, deep welds and high welding speeds. Find more details in our Laser Fundamentals. The process is frequently used in high volume applications, such as in the automotive and medical industry.
Laser Welding Benefits:
Contactless and low heat input
Minimum part deformation
No tool ware
Minimum metallurgical damage
Very stable processes
Very fast
Easy integration in production equipment
Low cost per weld for high volume applications
