High power diode laser can braze parts
A high-power 3,100W diode laser can be used in laser brazing, which bridges broader gaps than with welding, prevents damage of anti-corrosion layers, and maintains waterproofing.

High beam quality pulsed YAG profiles finely
In medical device manufacture, pulsed Nd:YAG lasers now can do the work of profiling increasingly finer, structures.
This extremely compact laser provides high reliability and industrial compatibility in multiple-shift operation.
Important new features include online performance measurement, integrated stack management for enhanced availability, and a pointing laser with a green wavelength for improved visibility.
Diode lasers have a wall plug efficiency of approx 30% and typically achieve diode lifetimes of more than 10,000 operating hours.
The laser beam sources of the DL-Q series lend themselves well to a wide range of industrial applications, such as surface treatment, conduction welding and brazing.
Diode lasers are particularly well suited to brazing, since they possess the necessary wavelengths for this process (808-940nm), a suitable focused spot (2-3mm), and the ability to couple into an optical fibre.
Areas of application for such assemblies are found in automobile manufacture, where various sheet metal assemblies already feature laser-brazed joints.
Laser brazing provides the ability to bridge broader gaps than with welding, prevents damage of anti-corrosion layers, and maintains waterproof properties. Request a free brochure from Rofin-Baasel UK ...
