Blue Diode Laser Technology

Amada Weld Tech, Monrovia, CA, has integrated blue laser technology into its suite of micro welding technologies. It is particularly useful for welding highly reflective materials, notably copper. Blue lasers operate at a wavelength of approximately 450 nm, providing better absorption of the radiation for materials like copper. This results in more efficient energy utilization, reduced heat input, reduction of spatter, and enhanced precision in micro welding tasks. The blue laser systems offer power levels ranging up to 1500 W, and with capabilities extending up 4000 W for industrial applications. Feasibility studies can be run the company’s Western Technical Center. Capabilities includes power levels up to 1500 W and spot sizes between 200 and 500 μm in diameter, which enables precise joining of delicate components.

Compact Scan Head

A compact scan head from SCANLAB, Puchheim, Germany, offers write speeds of up to 1840 cps. The wide range of application-specific tuning options allows the system to be used in a wide variety of applications. For applications that require higher laser power, such as laser cleaning, the power compatibility has been increased to up to 300 W. Both its compactness and technical design, which allows operation without cooling, simplify integration into a wide range of machine concepts. The scan system also has an integrated read-back function for status values. The 7-mm aperture completes the company’s SCANcube IV product family, which already includes scan heads with 10- and 14-mm apertures.
