Laser welding

Laser welding is gaining popularity. The advantages of laser welding include excellent speed and efficiency, high weld quality, and a smooth finish. Laser welding is ideal for welding larger series where consistent quality and finish are essential. We have extensive experience in laser welding and have two TruLaser Weld 5000 cells in our facility. Combined with our own tooling shop, we can offer you a highly efficient solution for your larger series with high welding precision.

Laser welding for high precision

Laser welding is a process that uses laser light to join materials. The intense heat of the laser beam creates a weld pool. Because the laser beam moves rapidly back and forth, the welded parts flow together. A welding wire can be added for added strength. Laser welding is a fast and repetitive process and produces high-quality, strong, and economical joints with a smooth appearance and minimal distortion.

Inno Metal has fully automated laser welding cells, in which the welding is performed by a robotic arm. This process is characterized by optimal precision and repeatability.

Advantages of Laser welding

Robotic laser welding has several strong advantages over traditional welding.

Reduced heat input:

The focused laser beam is focused on a small area, minimizing the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ).

Speed:

While the equipment investment is high, the welding process is extremely fast. Laser welding offers higher processing speeds, resulting in higher production and shorter cycle times.

Reduced risk of thermal distortion:

Because the process requires low heat input, there is less thermal stress. The focused beam melts a small area of ​​the metal, resulting in minimal heat-induced internal stress and distortion of the workpiece.

High precision and repeatability:

With laser welding, the laser beam can be controlled and focused on a small area. This allows components to be welded with high precision. The adjustable spot size makes laser welding ideal for delicate or thin metals. Once the robotic system is configured for a specific type of product, the welding process can be repeated infinitely with the same high precision. Ideal for serial production.
