Laser welding is a valuable and important part of the metalworks industry, producing welds for common items such as motor and transformer lamination, hermetic seals, battery cans, hybrid circuit packages, senser fabrication, semiconductor applications, jewelry manufacturing/repair, watch springs and dial pins, prototyping, molds, dies, tools, scientific instruments and tubing, etc.

Our new micro laser welder is designed for a wide range of fabrication and reconstruction repairs.

Our laser welder features an LCD Shutter.(Rapid firing speed and smoother weld surface), Leica microscope, Leica magnifier with 16x-40x, 25° wedge for agronomic design and comfort, 5.5 gallon cooling system, Automated Pulse Modulations enable pulse shape adjustment during each pulse, 100 memory programs, 2 side openings, 2 front openings and front door for easy access when welding long and large parts, and inert gas. 

Our laser welder offers distinct advantages over TIG welders, like superior weld quality, excellent for precise applications, low heat input, no distortion or discoloration to the surrounding weld base metals, almost undetectable weld after refinishing, no preheating is required, minimal restoration time, hard and strong weld is attributed to rapid solidification.

Laser welding could be used in place of many different standard processes, such as resistance (spot or seam), submerged arc, RF induction, high-frequency resistance, ultrasonic and electron-beam. The versatile laser welding approach will operate efficiently and economically in many different applications.

Welding results when materials are heated to a molten state and fused together. Lasers generate light energy that can be absorbed into materials and converted to heat energy. By employing a beam of light in the visible or infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, we can transmit this energy to the material using delivery optics which can focus and direct the energy to a very small, precise point.
