Medical sector laser welding
06 March 2023
THANKS TO its power, flexibility, precision, and performance laser technology has been adopted across a wide range of medical sector applications. In particular, laser welding is now well established as the process of choice for many manufacturers.
Lasers are capable of precisely joining individual items to create a structural bond, or to generate a hermetic seal where required to avoid leakage or ingress, and even extremely small parts can be welded with high levels of precision.
The ability to precisely control laser energy makes it possible to weld metals which have high melt temperatures or high thermal conductivity. In addition, materials that are otherwise difficult or impossible to weld by other means, can often be successfully joined using a laser.
UK and Ireland distributor for ALPHA Laser, TLM Laser has a comprehensive range of laser welding technologies available, including the new AL Q laser welding system. This has been developed for the high specification, high quality production environments found within the medical sector. This Class 1 closed laser system is available with a choice of 450W or 600W fiber lasers, with either water or air cooled modules available.
