Manual Laser Micro-Welding Systems are an Alternative to Traditional GTA Welding!

From LaserStar Technologies Corporation
 

 
Today's small precision welding shops specializing in plastic injection mold, dies and tooling repair have a wide range of new technologies available to enhance their ability to provide the highest level of quality, craftsmanship, and service to their clients. One of the fastest growing technologies is the use of manual laser micro-welding systems as an alternative to traditional microscope GTA welding. Laser is an acronym for "Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation." This technology produces a sharply focused beam of hot light that melts a very small area of metal and can be used to join similar or dissimilar alloys. The welding process can be performed quickly (normally in milliseconds) and does not scar or blemish the welding surface. In fact, by adjusting the laser's beam diameter, a smooth, near polished finish can be achieved with the laser. Since very little heat is generated at the weld point, users can easily weld 0.10mm away from the most complicated and intricate machined patterns, polished surfaces, and removable component assemblies.
