Techniques used for Laser Welding

Techniques used for Laser Welding 1- Contour Welding In contour welding, a laser is guided along a predetermined welding pattern. The material only melts on the path that the laser is directed. Relative motion is achieved by moving the laser source, the part or a combination of both. 2-Simultaneous Welding In this technique, a laser will heat the entire weld area simultaneously. Almost any beam geometry can be generated by means of a special, state-of-the-art beam shaping elements. Parts, up to an area that equals 2.000" diameter,...
