LASER PRECISION WELDING – HIGH-STRENGTH WELDED JOINTS WITHOUT ADDITIONAL MATERIAL

Laser precision welding is a modern joining technology and is used when conventional welding methods cannot meet the requirements. Due to the highly focused laser, very fine welding spots or seams with high strength and tightness are possible.

Because of the high power density in the focus, the very short process times and the energy supply that can be precisely metered by laser parameters, even material combinations that are difficult to weld conventionally can be successfully joined with lasers.

PROCESS – HEAT CONDUCTION OR KEYHOLE

Laser precision welding uses a focused laser beam as the energy source. The joining partners are permanently joined by a relative movement between the laser beam and the workpiece. The processing procedure involves an inert gas, such as argon or nitrogen, which prevents oxidation of the component surfaces. Depending on the process gas, material and laser parameters, the joining process is often determined by pure heat conduction, and in deep welding applications by the keyhole effect.

  • Micrometer-precise, high-strength joints

  • With or without additional material

  • Minimal heat input

  • No structural changes in the material

  • Suitable for special material combinations

     

Scope of Service

When conventional welding methods reach their limits, we can help you with our laser systems and our contract manufacturing. For 2D and 3D components as well as for cylindrical precision components, different welding seams and geometries with up to 2 mm welding depths can be realized using the following processes:

  • Spot welding

  • Seam welding

What laser equipment is finally used depends on the geometry of your components and your specific requirements.
