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

What can laser welding do?

Joint welding

We weld parts not only on our CNC-controlled gantries or freehand, but also on a CNC-controlled rotary axis.
This enables us to weld even complicated and intricate geometries.

Weldable materials

  • Titanium, titanium alloys
  • Various tool and stainless steels

Build-up welding

With laser welding, we can apply material specifically to workpieces.
Different filler materials are used depending on the material.
We use this method to repair broken edges on injection molding and punching tools or to complete entire surfaces on molds that need to be modified.
This works for very small parts but also for large tools.
We also have a stacker on site for large tools.

Materials

  • Tool steels
  • Titanium
  • Beryllium copper (Amco)
  • Aluminum (limited)
