Technology Features
Laser welding is an advanced joining method that offers improved efficiency and quality compared to conventional welding techniques.
High Efficiency
Laser welding is significantly faster than conventional methods such as MIG and TIG. Handheld welding speeds typically range from 1–5 m/min, while robotic systems can reach up to 12 m/min.
Minimal Physical Distortion
The process minimises thermal impact, making it ideal for thin or large components and reducing the need for additional finishing.
Low Welding Oxidation
Precise heat input ensures narrow, full-penetration welds with clean and consistent visual results.
High-Strength Welds
Laser welding produces welds that boast both consistency and high strength. Laser welds can be monolithic without filler metal when the distance between materials to be welded is up to 100 um.
Excellent Mechanical Properties
The process preserves the material’s structural characteristics, maintaining strength and performance after welding.
Ultimate Precision
Laser welding enables highly accurate processing with controlled heat input and easy handling, even for complex applications.
How Does It Work
Laser beam welding is an advanced industrial process used to join materials by focusing a high-intensity beam of light onto a defined area. The energy melts the materials, forming a strong and durable bond. This precise and efficient method ensures consistent weld quality while reducing the need for additional processing.
