Tests to define the conditions and parameters of laser welding in aluminum parts for applications where some significant amount of electric current may be required.

The desired welding is due to the characteristics of quality that are listed below.

Customer requires a clean and fast cut to go forward with the investment. State of the art has not reach both levels at the same time invalidating any chance of industrialization.-

Welding metal pieces, in order to joint components, is a common solution in our customer’s procedures.

Thus, we give more efficient and cost-effective solutions to manufacture processes that involve complex needs. To joint these components two types of laser welding can be used, depending on the angle and the pieces position, and these are overlap seam and Butt joint.

Lantec 2000 has purchased an OPHIR Photonics calorimeter to verify power output and fiber alignment from the resonator to the optical output.

In this two 3mm steel parts laser seam welding test, a 4.5mm penetration has been achieved by using 4kw fiber laser and D50 optical fiber. The welding speed is 20mm/sec.

New fixture is been tested on Lantec.

When talking about laser welding of automobile components fixture becomes together with the laser election the critical issues that you need to control.

Our customer wants to check whether laser welding is able to produce a reliable joint in bearing cartridges manufacturing, producing a in this case, we are using a CO2 slab laser of 2.5 Kw with a Precitec welding head, welding at a speed of 1 m per minute, searching for maximum penetration without affecting the inner diameter of the shaft.

Test to be done after shows over 1 KN to traction resistance. By using a 3.5 Kw fiber laser on a remote welding process, customer satisfaction has been guaranty in terms of joint quality.

Lantec to install new laser welding station in Mexico for automotive component.

This scan system will be installed in our premises of Orcoyen and will give us the chance to proceed with high power remote welding.
