Laserkeilaukset

Laserkeilaukset, also known as laser welding, is a fusion welding process that uses a laser beam as the heat source. The laser beam is focused on the joint of two or more parts, creating a localized melt pool. As the laser moves along the joint, the molten material solidifies, creating a strong and continuous weld. This process is known for its high precision, speed, and minimal heat distortion.

The primary components of a laser welding system include a laser source, optics for beam delivery and focusing, a workpiece manipulation system, and often a shielding gas delivery system. The laser source can be of various types, such as CO2 lasers, Nd:YAG lasers, or fiber lasers, each with different wavelengths and power characteristics. The optics are crucial for directing and focusing the laser beam to achieve the desired weld depth and width.

Laserkeilaukset offers several advantages over traditional welding methods. These include a narrow heat-affected zone, which reduces distortion and the risk of material degradation. It can also achieve deep penetration welds with high aspect ratios. Furthermore, the process is highly controllable, allowing for precise welding of delicate or complex geometries, and it can be automated for high-volume production.

Applications of laserkeilaukset are widespread across various industries. It is commonly used in the automotive industry for body panel welding, in the aerospace sector for critical component assembly, and in the medical device manufacturing for intricate parts. It is also employed in electronics, jewelry fabrication, and general manufacturing for its efficiency and quality. The choice of laser type and welding parameters depends on the material being joined, the desired weld quality, and the specific application requirements.
