Facts and benefits:
• Spot or seam welding of almost all metallic materials
• Non-contact welding process without welding pressures
• Access to the welding point only necessary from one side
• Processing of different part geometries and materials
• Short, intensive but localized heating of the components
Facts and benefits:
• Very fine and deep welds with high welding speeds
• Minimal distortion with a large depth-to-width ratio
• Easy and flexible integration e.g. in assembly lines
• Solutions with multiple laser optics possible
• Position sensing and control of laser points and seams by means of a vision system on the laser optics
• Use of filler materials (e.g. wires) possible depending on application
• Laser soldering applications or plastic welding possible
Facts and benefits:
• Depending on the application and requirements, different laser types / sources such as pulsed lasers, disc lasers, diode lasers, fiber lasers or CO2 lasers are used
•High robustness, modular design and various power classes of the laser sources
• Use of special lasers for highly reflective materials such as copper
• Processing of individual parts or of punched strips with high cycle times
