High Volume Laser Welding Applications

From World Lasers, Inc.
 

 

Fibre lasers have now matured into exceptionally reliable and stable industrial tools. The lasers have unique capabilities that enable improvements to a wide range of industrial processes. This report looks in particular at high volume welding of thin metallic parts found in the electronics industry (Li-ion mobile phone batteries) and medical markets (pacemakers & welded implantable devices).

The key difference between this and other application notes from SPI on the subject of welding is volume. This note recreates real life experiences from users with multi million piece part throughputs where process improvements yielding a 1% scrap reduction can create savings over $100,000k per year and more.
