What is laser welding?
In laser welding, the material is welded with highly focused light.
The process can even be used to join materials that are otherwise impossible to weld.
Due to the very low heat input into the material, even very fine structures can be welded without distortion.
Laser welding can be used to join parts but also to apply layers.
This means that defective injection molding or punching tools can be repaired, for example.
The advantages of laser welding:
- Virtually distortion-free welds – low heat input
- Fine, reproducible weld seams (from approx. 0.6 mm width)
- Non-contact welding > no force is exerted on the workpiece
- Welding in otherwise inaccessible places
- Minimal rework
