Contrary to conventional welding methods, laser welding delivers regulated heat to the material. Spot welding is accomplished by directing a single laser pulse to the material. For seam welds, overlapping multiple laser pulses generates high quality welds.
|
Applications:
Irrigation/aspiration needles, catheter tubes, bearings, endoscopes, stents, and many other products are ideal for laser welding.
|
|
|
Materials:
High-grade steel, nonferrous metal, alloys, tantalum, nickel/beryllium, aluminum, copper.
|
|
|
Focused Heat:
Focused heat can join materials that are heat sensitive or that are positioned next to heat sensitive materials. A very small focused spot size permits miniature welds with a very small heat-affected zone.
|
|
|
Dissimilar Materials:
Laser welding provides an opportunity to join dissimilar materials due to the ability to control the location, duration and power of the welding beam.
|
|
|
Non-contact:
Laser welding is a non-contact process. Nearby features are left untouched with this process.
|
|
|
No Cleaning:
Eliminates the need for post-weld cleaning.
|
|
|
Flux Free Welding:
Welding with no flux offers significant advantages in terms of weld quality and durability.
