Fine
welding
Industrial production processes make a number of critical demands
on the fine welding solutions employed. The laser meets many of
these demands almost perfectly:
As a rule, the stability of the welded joint and the speed of welding
are better than with traditional joining techniques. Add to this
the fine focus of the laser light, which means that warming is minimal,
and the thermal stress in the workpiece is extremely slight.
In contrast to traditional processes, the principle of the laser
means that there is no tool wear - the laser cannot become blunt.
This advantage is appreciated particularly whenever consistent quality
must be guaranteed. And finally, rework steps are usually unnecessary
when lasers are used - the bottom line is that it makes economic
sense to use lasers.
From fine welding of non-porous seams in medical
technology, and precision spot welding in electronics
or the jewelry industry, to deposit
welding in tool and mold-making, to processing
thick steel and copper sheets in automobile
construction - laser technology, with its scalability, covers
a wide range of applications.
