What is laser welding?
Laser welding is the process in which either metals or thermoplastics are connected using a laser gleam. This then forms a weld. This procedure can also be used in thicker materials and may produce a slender, deeper weld.
When looking at how laser welding works, there are two optional key modes: keyhole welding and conduction welding.
Keyhole Welding – This method is conducted by the laser gleam heating the metal so that the surface evaporates and penetrates into the metal. This melting procedure then forms a keyhole. This method requires a high-powered laser with a power output of above 105W/mm2.
Conduction Welding – In this procedure, the material goes through a heat process that is above the metal’s thawing point, making sure it does not evaporate. This procedure is most suitable for welds that don’t require high weld strength. A benefit of thermal conduction welding is that it comes out aesthetically and highly smooth, offering high quality, professional finish.
Capable of taking on jobs large and small
As well as offering a laser welding machine on tracks to allow us to work on larger projects, we have a smaller fixed laser welding machine to allow us to work on the smaller jobs. This ensures our team can cover all your bases and provide equipment for a range of your goods. Our welding services also offer a chance to put life into new products, meaning replacements are limited and waste is reduced.
