Laser welding
Laser welding is up to 8 times faster than TIG welding
Laser is basically a highly concentrated beam of light, which represents the largest concentration of energy produced by man. This makes it possible to use a laser beam as a very effective tool for tasks such as cutting, welding, soldering, surface, ablation (stripping of the surface layer), etc.
Laser welding technology
- Welding without added material
- Welding with added material
- Soldering
- Surfacing
- Ablation
- 3D cutting by robot
Efectivness of laser welding process
- High speed welding processes (laser is as 8 times faster as TIG welding)
- Slender heat material affection – reducing, or a complete elimination of subsequent machining
- Smooth weld surface - minimal or even no subsequent grinding
Advantages of laser welding
- High power density in the impact area - minimal material deformation
- Heat is transferred into the material in a very short time - high speed of welding
- Laser beam energy is able to melt any known material
- Power input of heat into the material passes in a few milliseconds, allowing to make welds in the vicinity of the heat-sensitive material (glass, plastics)
- Welds have high strength and poreless surface
- Effectively deep welds can be made with material thickness up to 25 m
- Laser beam can weld on difficult-to-reach places that it would otherwise not be possible to weld at all
