Laser Cutting and Welding

Automotive Industry
The automotive industry encompasses a wide range of organizations and activities related to the manufacturing of motor vehicles, including but not limited to design, development, manufacturing, production, and maintenance. The role of laser welding within the automotive industry has significantly increased over the past few years, largely due to production efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness.

Medical Industry
The medical industry provides healthcare treatment, medical equipment, and drugs for the general public. For many medical applications such as implants, very thin metal is used, and a precise weld is required, making laser welding a desirable option. Laser welding works by focusing a high-power laser into the seam between materials to melt and fuse the parts. The medical industry frequently uses micro welding, in which welds reach a depth of less than 1 mm.

Aerospace Industry
The aerospace industry uses laser welding for its precision in many applications—from security metal detectors to airframes. The aerospace industry requires very high-quality welds as they will be exposed to long working life and experience lots of stress. Aerospace laser welding is unique as it uses a filler wire to create stronger welds. This is necessary due to the requirement for aerospace structures to be highly resilient to fatigue.

Electronics Industry
The electronics industry produces products for an extensive range of applications and purposes. However, the most advanced electronic equipment is becoming increasingly intricate. The distance between pins can be as small as 0.3 mm, which is too close to prevent bridging with traditional welding methods.

Jewelry Industry
The jewelry industry produces wearable consumer goods which range in quality and often incorporate precious stones, rare metals, and intricate designs. The jewelry industry uses laser welding to accurately produce and repair products that are intricate and delicate by design.

Tool and Die Industry
The tool and die industry is a highly skilled industry specializing in manufacturing parts for machines, equipment, and other products such as: jigs, fixtures, dies, plastic molds, and cutting tools. Laser welding is capable of extending the life of mold tools, which is a critical design feature for these components. Laser welders also operate at a lower heat than conventional welding, eliminating the need for preheating a repair and reducing the internal stresses created by the heat of other welding processes.
