From World Lasers, Inc.
As the medical industry continues to demand smaller and more intricate components and devices, so the challenge for manufacturing them increases. One specific aspect that has been successfully tackled by the fiber laser is the processing of fine wires. The need to join fine wires has grown significantly over recent years and the medical industry has provided some challenging applications.
Fine wires are used for a number of applications from leads for electrical connections to joining of wires for a variety of insertable devices. Laser welding of fine wires, as small as 100micron, can be achieved in a number of ways including butt welds (when wanting to weld two wires together) and lap welds (often used to join adjacent wires). Also spot welding can be used when joining a wire to another part or component.
