Pulsed Nd:YAG lasers push the welding envelope

The growth of industrial welding applications continues to push the welding envelope of lasers in terms of faster speeds, deeper penetration, more-weldable materials and smaller spot sizes. The welding applications emerging from the medical, photonics and electronics industries, in particular, typic...

Zusammenfassung:The growth of industrial welding applications continues to push the welding envelope of lasers in terms of faster speeds, deeper penetration, more-weldable materials and smaller spot sizes. The welding applications emerging from the medical, photonics and electronics industries, in particular, typically involve more exotic materials and very fine precision welds - demands that are providing Nd:YAG laser manufacturers and integrators with a unique set of challenges.
