Materials Processing, Medical
and Industrial Applications
Fiber lasers have become the tool of choice for fast, efficient and reliable processing across an extensive
range of applications. Metals to polymers, thick to thin, large to small, fiber lasers can do it all.
Laser welding is a fast, economical and contact-free method for welding a wide variety of metal-to-metal, polymer-to-polymer, metal to polymer and glass-to-metal parts for virtually any industry or application. Processes requiring high processing speeds, complex weld geometries or multi-layer joints, benefit from the versatility and high productivity of laser welding.
Laser cutting offers consistent high-quality cuts across a wide range of materials and thicknesses with lower kerf and thermal stress than traditional cutting methods. Powered by continuous or pulsed lasers that pierce cleanly and quickly, laser cutting provides accurate clean cuts that make post-processing virtually unnecessary with no tool wear for maximum uptime and throughput.
Laser cleaning is the environmentally-friendly, chemical-free alternative for removing paint, rust and other contaminants from material surfaces quickly and cost-effectively. Laser surface structuring creates new surface features and patterns on materials that allow paints or coatings to adhere better than on untreated surfaces.
Laser marking is a non-contact, permanent marking method used across a wide range of materials and shapes for a variety of industries including medical, aerospace and automotive where part traceability is mandatory. For text, codes or symbols, laser marking creates high-quality, high-contrast durable marks of any size quickly and reliably.
Laser ablation offers the ability to selectively remove layers from almost any substrate by vaporizing the material resulting in a clean surface and to create micro-structured surfaces for specialty applications. By varying the wavelength, pulse duration and intensity, laser ablation leads to high quality machining with virtually no heat transfered to the surrounding material.
Laser cladding melts metal powders to create protective coatings or to restore worn or damaged surfaces. The process produces strong metallurgical bonds with minimal dilution of the base material for enhanced corrosion, abrasion and wear resistance of metals.
Laser drilling is a highly-precise, highly-repeatable process of creating holes with diameters as small as 2 microns in a wide range of materials. Aerospace, medical, semiconductor and automotive are a few of the many industries that have realized the high-speed, high-quality results of laser drilling.
Laser brazing incorporates a filler metal to join parts without melting the base of the materials. Dissimilar metals and parts with gaps benefit from laser brazing with high-strength results and finishes with smooth surfaces. The automotive industry uses laser brazing for the mass production of vehicle bodies.
Laser welding is a fast, economical and contact-free method for welding a wide variety of metal-to-metal, polymer-to-polymer, metal to polymer and glass-to-metal parts for virtually any industry or application. Processes requiring high processing speeds, complex weld geometries or multi-layer joints, benefit from the versatility and high productivity of laser welding.
