- Laser welding works by using a focused beam of light to weld metals together. The beam provides a concentrated heat source, allowing for narrow, deep welds and high welding rates.
- When the beam interacts with the surface of the material, laser beam melts the materials to be joined along the joint.
- The melts flow into each other, and the solidified melt connects the materials permanently.
How Does Laser Welding Works?
- This feature makes the laser welding ideal for applications where accuracy, cleanliness and permanence are critical to success.
- With many different types of laser solutions available, laser welding can be performed in many different industries.

Fiber Laser
- Fiber Lasers are used in welding applications effectively by virtue of advanced technology.
- SPI Fiber Lasers has variMODE, a switchable beam delivery feature which allows users to tailor and optimize the beam characteristics (including spot size and beam profile), specific to their needs.
- With the higher power (1 kW – 12 kW) and CW (continuous wave) laser beams, it allows for a fast process time.
Disk Laser
- Trumpf Disk laser has very stable laser beam quality which has similar wavelength with Fiber laser.
- With the Disk Laser technology, this allows for higher power (2 – 12 kW), with fast and non-problematic application opportunities when thick materials, and those with highly reflective surfaces, are needed to be processed.
Nd:Yag Laser
- Lamp pumped laser welding systems are effective in spot welding and seam welding applications due to the high peak powers that can be achieved.
- Thanks to multiple output feature, it can be used in multiple systems with time-sharing or power-sharing.
