Spot diameters of about 1 mm are realistic. To create even smaller weld seams, fibre lasers can be used. Because of their better beam quality and efficiency when compared with Nd:YAG systems ...

People using lasers to cut and weld material ... coming out but it's all in one spot, it's going to cut more deeply than if it is spread across the beam,” says Gary Wagner, president of Ophir ...

Maximum productivity and consistent quality are critical in automated welding processes. This requires robust, high precision ...
